Just start being that pedantic asshole that people hate, and insist on using it. When someone asks what the temperature is, give it to em in c and make them do the conversion.

I set all my stuff to metric years ago and use it pretty much exclusively. I don't actually make other people convert, I do it for em. But still.

Cook in metric and use a scale!

wait you don’t use scales when cooking?????

[-] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 6 points 1 month ago

From what I can tell Americans used to use scales for dry measures (in ounces) but somewhere along the line, they switched to volume measures for everything.

As a Canadian, it’s really frustrating because often will get the American versions of UK cookbooks here which are both not metric and not weights.

I enjoy my Australian cookbooks with metric weights.

Yeah, it's sort of rare outside of, like, foodies and and YouTubers to use weight for cooking. We switched to it about a decade back, and it's been amazing. That's actually what got me to switch to metric for just about everything.
