De*****:

1:22 "Are you allowed to say that?" No, the imperial order will hunt him down

Ya******:

5:44 When its 2AM and you're trying to be quiet while taking food from the kitchen.

hu*******:

1:50 What?! We use these shoe covers at work and have to manually stretch them around our shoes like animals. I'm going to put the Bootie Butler in the suggestion box.

Ja*********:

1:19 as a US engineer, I can attest to that.

za*****:

1:18 That nonchalant "yes, it's stupid" just cracked me up :'D

Do*************:

1:59 the guy in blue is how I look waiting for my pizza rolls in the microwave

Hi******:

1:20 the laugh I'm clackling :v

CX*:

1:03 one second of mind blowing silence XD

J*:

I can just imagine trying to get this on a plane, you tell the TSA it's an important scientific standard of weight, and they cannot open the container..
TSA agent takes it from you, opens it.. drops it on the floor..
Throws it all back in your bag and tells you to have a nice day

Bu******:

Derek: so how much is it worth?
Europeans: it's priceless
Americans: about $100,000 apiece

Ra****:

Patrick Abbot: Yeah Stupid.
Are you allowed to say that?
Patrick Abbot: It's true.

~Thug Life

Af********:

are you allowed to say that
well its the truth
the mark of a true scientist.

ks****:

at the security checks "so, Mister, what you got in that suitcase?"
"just a kilo"
"a kilo of... what... Mister?"
"told you..... just a kilo"

Ma*******:

1kg = 1 litre of water = a box of 10cm x 10cm x 10cm of water. 1,000litres of water fills a volume of 1m x 1m x 1m and weighs 1 ton

To**********:

''Yes, it's stupid...I agree''
''Are you allowed to say that?''
''It's true...''

Na************:

Everybody knows this quote(maybe not) :

In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point.

An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it.

Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water ?’ is ‘Go ** yourself,’
because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities.

ce******:

Long in short: US already is a metric but it hates to round up numbers for factor of ten. Why should somebody want 10 meter long stick if 10.907 is more cool?

za**********:

This reminds me of an episode of The Simpsons, "Who keeps the metric system down? We do, we do..." :-)

Vl*************:

K-4 and K-20 = K-420. Blaze it!

Ca*********:

I would so watch a movie about someone trying to steal one of these.

9m**:

I love how he says ''feet'' and ''gallon'' with disgust

Wa*****:

Remember that one where there was like a super-round sphere?

we*********:

I manage building construction for a living and wish we would use metrics. It would be an easier system.

Ba********:

The silence at 1:00. Epic.

Lo************:

I work in Weights and Measures in Illinois glad to see videos out there giving folks an idea of what we do.

Th*****************:

6:14
I knew there was more to the deflate gate scandal. Brady was just trying to find those launch codes...

th************:

One minute in and I'm already Mind blowned.

ch***:

"Are you allowed to say that!?" ".... it's true...." i like this guy :D

Ka********:

Wait a minute, you are telling me that the Quarter Pounder has actually been a Royale with cheese in disguise all along and not the other way around ???
Also, I now want a Bootie Butler for no reason.

in***********:

"Connected iridium to radioactivity and flew off the handle"

That's (any) checkpoint security for you. Not just the TSA. If playing secret service with ear pieces and uniforms, and being presumptuous twats doesn't pay enough, it sure strokes the ego. If they were smarter, they'd have a different job.

Ro**********:

Huh, didn't know Louis C.K. knew so much about the Kilogram.

AS*:

What a great host he was! He was really great explaining and joking about things. Dude needs his own Youtube channel haha.

Ma*********:

I love how he says that to this day the kg is defined by the big K , but they just changed that yesterday :D.

Br*******:

Ha! I knew I wasn't really gaining weight. It was the standards fluctuating around me. Damn you, Universe!

Re******:

The USA used the metric system all along Mind Blown

Ro*********:

Hi Derek ! Long life to Veritasium ! I love so much your videos that you are the first an only channel I clicked the bell on ! I have a little suggestion for you : I'd like you to make a great video about sound : Levels, decibels, log10, peak, vu and RMS meters, frequency range, human range, perceived frequency center of 20 to 20kHz range to define Bass and His, 2 frequency separations for Bass, Mids and His (20-200 Hz, 200-2kHz and 2k-20kKz), acoustic, analog & digital domains, Encoding (mp3, aac, lossless...), masking law, pan law, doppler effet, psychoacoustic effects, and so on... I'm a french music producer and a sound engineer. You can contact me if you want/need my help. I'd love to share/work with with you : www.rodeol.com. And, thanks for the great video ! :-)

Co************:

The metric system is delightfully simple to operate, and the Americans sensibly decimalised their currency from the outset, even if not weights and measures. Those of us of a certain age can recall with horror, struggling through long division of money in pounds, shillings and pence at school, with teachers of widely varying doses of patience. Then came dollars and cents, and the whole thing suddenly became relatively easy! But dentists and jewellers still use "grains" as a measure of weight, which is but another variant of the old system. Col, NZ

ma********:

I had to stop at 1:17 and revel in this fact. I heard as a child about the metric system, and again we 'played' with is when I took a cooking course, but I truly started to use it when I joined the U.S. Army, and now that I've been living in Germany these, oh past 35 years, it comes naturally for me
This information feels like the american public is being treated like children; (we're using Metric, but we'll leave the imperial labels on, so the public doesn't have a hissy fit)
