The US is way more metric than MAGA want to make it look like. While Imperial units are still dominating, most people do actually know the most important SI units in some way. Reagan cost the US a fortune with silly nationalist bantering. If not for him the transition gad not stalled midway and the US had transitioned fully decades ago. Trump is making sure it stays this way.
USian here. I flip flop between the two systems depending on what I am doing. At work we use metric for temperatures and dimensional measurements except for when we measure dimensions in inches (different drawings from different engineers). In cooking, if I’m using a recipe, I use what the recipe uses. If no recipe, I cook by intuition, lol. Home carpentry or machining projects always metric. Modeling for my 3D printer, always metric. Buying weed has somehow always been both. Driving is miles, weather temps are fahrenheit.
Even in the US, food and drink products have both imperial and metric units for serving size and quantity/weight.
