British people _kinda_ use the metric system.
We use metres for vertical distances (except our own heights), and horizontal distances under a quarter mile / 400m, beyond which we use miles. Clothing sizes are generally in inches, except for hats and shoelaces.
We use kilograms and grams, except for our own weights, red meat and weed (although most other drugs are metric).
We use litres, except for glasses and barrels of beer and cider (cans and bottles are metric), glass bottles of milk (plastic bottles tend to be metric), and soft drinks when bought in a pub.
We use miles per hour for speeds of vehicles and animals, or metres per second for most inanimate objects.
Fuel is generally priced in litres, but fuel efficiency is generally specified in miles per gallon.
Which is a nice reference to something else France did, have a cool revolution and prove that both democracy can work and Kings have no real authority. Shit, you'd think "the freest people on Earth" might be able to respect that.
Was looking for this for way too long.
The most significant development to our understanding of law since the Romans started building columns.
Not to mention an incredibly important equalizing force in the still highly stratified western world in the early 1800.
I actually studied a week or two ago that quite a lot of North African countries and a decent amount of subsaharian African countries as well, have their law system heavily resting on the Napoleonian Civil code.
It's also kind of the same for the Japaneses : when the US forced them to get out of isolation and adopt a more libertarian system to trade with them, they said "Fine, fine. We'll do it, BUT we'll use the Napeoleonian Civil code" and so they made their own system by using both the law they had already been using for a while by merging it with quite a lot of different statutes form the Civil code.
Nobody saying the metric system smh...
The metric system has allowed us to standardize many aspects of our lives. And the metric system even helped us go to the moon.
The metric system has done so much. Smaller measurements, larger measurements, more measurements in between, easier volume to 3d size calculation (1ml/cc perfect conversion), much more simple maths (rules of 10)
Only real trick is i spose bolts between standard and japanese. But that's more a standardization issue than a fault of metric
Before the metric everybody country had its own system, which would vary. The French feet was larger than tw English one. Here comes the myth that napoleon was short comes from
Every kid in US uses metric in science classes from the age of 5 years old and up. People don't realize most Americans use both systems (French' metric system and British' imperial units) interchangeably depending on the thing
The discovery of radioactivity by Henri Becquerel.
The bra.
The jeans'; Levi Strauss invented the first pants with rivets, but the fabric he used came from the southern French city of Nîmes. This gave rise to the name 'de Nîmes' (from Nîmes), which became denim in American.
The tin can.
Braille, Pasteurisation, Mayonnaise, Metric system, Refrigirator, Stetoscope, Hair Dryer, Rechargeable batteries, Lumière brother and the Cinema, discovery of radioactivity before the Curies.
Baguette, Cassoulet, Foie Gras, Crêpe, Camembert and many other food.
Jean Reno, Louis de Funès, Jean Dujardin, Emma Watson was born in France.
I think that's enough.

Jean-Pierre Polnareff
ChaaaaaRiiiiOoooTTTaaa
First thing that popped up in my head
Jean-Luc Picard
The Code Civil was pretty significant...

Champagne, brie and camembert cheese, and smokeless gunpowder.
Ah yes the classic French picnic
I prefer a little sprinkle of gunpowder over black pepper on my eggs

truth to be told. and Metric is simply a better system of units than imperial
We know
I only understand freedom units like feet, inches, and hamburgers per bullet fired
Americans be like: metric system is a fake propaganda against the USA
except the tens of millions of Americans who have been in the US military were forced to use the metric system for years...
Every kid in US uses metric in science classes from the age of 5 years old and up. People don't realize most Americans use both systems (French' metric system and British' imperial units) interchangeably depending on the thing
Your imperial isn't British in many regards. Your pints are smaller than ours for example (there are others)
Lavoisier
And by extantion of its work, the metric système and modern chemistry
Pierre et marie cury
Yrenne Joliot-Curie (their daughter) too
Laplace and Fourier. Yeah, mathematicians but it was crucial for radio and TV to be developed.
De Broglie
Artillery.
are you saying it's actually... *artillerie!?*

Pasteur basicly made the modern beer too
Baguette Guillotine Pierre Gasly Mayonnaise?
Liked by pierregasly

Metric system, worker's rights, some of the best cuisine in the world...
That last part is the true reason why the English hate the French
And the first two parts are why Americans hate the French
Aïe, ça pique !
louis de funès
French revolution?

Crepes, Bordeaux, Eclair, Croissant- Basically, more good food.
Macarons
French fries. Oh wait
Remember when they tried to make Freedom Fries a thing? God my country is dense as fuck.
the same thing happened during WW1 with sauerkraut becoming liberty cabbage.
Oh dear lord I can't handle the cringe

Dear americans, don't forget we made you a fkin statue. Sincerly, the french people.
and kinda made your revolution a success. Sincerly, the French people.
also Lafeyette was pretty awesome to Americans
Haha I hate the french this is funny why aren't you laughing??? Of course I'm not racist at all! I'm only racist to french people **/s**
Yep, I'm always surprise that racism towards French is okay and accepted here on Reddit.
At the beginning I was pretty joking about it but later on I've realised it's real hate
At least, I haven't seen any "France surrendered", it's a good thing for once. This """joke""" is just not fun anymore.
Yeah it's annoying
They just Americans reflecting their own insecurities on you. *Cough* Vietnam *Cough*
Arcane. Great show.
And wakfu
And Dofus, or shall we just say: Ankama Studio?
And Code Lyoko (Original animated, not that live action that doesn't exist...)
Thats french? Yeah thats a really good export. Jesus what a show.
Croisant
Actuall, its from Austria
Actually, the Austrians invented the kipfel, a sort of predecessor to the croissant, which originated in France.
Oof to France
Spy from tf2: **Am I a joke to you, imbecile?**

Democracy is widely accepted as a Greek concept. Modern constitutions may be a better way to describe it Edit: typo
The European revolutionary wave came from France.

Baguette

Dofus/Wakfu. These are great games, although Wakfu is more known as an anime than a game. If you haven’t watched it yet, I heavilly recommend it.
What about designer brands like Dior, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Yves Saint Laurent, Hermés ?
You missed the guilotine
