The only place where feet makes sense as a unit is in aviation. And I think that’s it.

Why? What’s so special about aviation that it benefits from imperial units?

Because you have smaller steps. When flying very low for example helicopters it makes mor sense to have smaller steps.

The only thing I can think of is nautical miles and knots because they’re based on arc minutes. But otherwise I have no idea

Well, it’s only on open source projects where this would be possible.

In stones?

Lived in the UK for quite some time now. Still can’t wrap my head around stone…which is kinda ironic being a Stonemason and all…

Native UK here and I’ve never had a good reason to use stone as a unit of measurement. Kg works fine

What’s to wrap your head around? It’s 6.35kg or 12lbs.

Importantly it is only ever used to measure the weight of humans

It’s 14lbs, or 6.3503kg. It’s the conversion, I can work in mm/cm/m, or fractions of in/ft/yd, but despite knowing what the conversion numbers are, mental mathing it does not jive with my brain. Same with g/kg oz/lb and stone.
