when do you use all of those measurements in the same context is the follow up question.
for example, why do europeans still use calories for food. the SI unit for energy is joule. things are decided because “thats what people are used to” . the calorie is not an SI unit.
And what do you mean you europeans? You guys use calories too! So does china and… I have not been to any other countries but I am fairly certain they use calories too!
which is the point, because the answer on why people in the US use imperial units is because it’s what theyre used too . you asked why change calories into joules? the same sentiment is said for ANY fucking measurement. It’s not an issue of being pro imperial or pro metric, its to point out the fact that its just a matter of what units you are just used to measuring in.
Why would you change calories into joules?
because joules is the SI unit to measure energy, and Calorie is the amount of energy it takes to increase the temperature of 1 square centimeter of water by 1 degree celcius. why have 2 measurements of energy? 1 (kilo) calorie is 4184 Joules. an equally ridiculous number when comparing to imperial numbers.
