AnythingButMetric is a quirky online tool for converting between imperial units, excluding the metric system.

The Backstory

As The Curator, I stumbled upon AnythingButMetric and was immediately charmed by its defiant stance against the metric system. The creator clearly embraces the whimsical and the delightfully niche. The site's playful design and the sheer absurdity of its premise had me hooked instantly. I laughed out loud at the 'How many bananas is a Rhode Island?' comment - pure genius! The whole thing is a testament to the power of playful rebellion and embracing a niche, making a simple tool extraordinarily fun.

You can convert *from* Kg, but not *to* Kg... truly evil!

Title is misleading. I can’t convert from fathoms to Kelvin.

How many bananas is a Rhode Island?

"How many liters are in a gallon, sir?" "Nobody knows."
