Yeah, the Third Reich lost against team Poland, France, Britain, US, Soviet Union.
Poland and France were defeated, and if the US wouldn't have intervened against Germany, they might have won. Or if they'd use sarin gas against Britain or the Soviets.
They've also successfully overthrow the jewish stranglehold on Germany, which is the casus belli for WWII.

If you are used to the metric scale, you don't need a human scale. You know how much 30cm is, how long 1 meter is, how long 1 kilometer is.
It reminds me a little how some people believe that if people wouldn't believe in God (or somehow indirectly), they'd go nigger feral mode. No, it's pretty much overwhelmingly just genetics.
Ultimately it's some arbitrary metric anyway, but the conversion rate of 1:1000 makes it very nice to use. Once you deal with large quantities, it no longer matters anyway. Like what, you want to use the diameter of the Sun as a larger football stadium? And how many feet are bacteria in size?
Well, 30 cm divided by 3 is 10 cm. 1 cm divided by 3 is 0.33 cm. If you have 8 inches and divide it by 3, you'll also have 2.66 inches. If you have a round 10 inches, it's still 3.33 inches.
And the conversion is 1:1000 or 1:10 for metric system (mm, cm, dm, m), and 1:12 for feet-to-inches, so sure, you can divide by 2, 3, 4, 6 and get whole numbers, and for 1:10 you can divide by 2,5 and get whole numbers. With 4 you get one decimal only (10/4 = 2.5).
There is also feet and yards, but if you go by feet, you won't have precision, only rough distances. Then dividing by 3 doesn't matter. And when it comes to anything that isn't some larger distance, like clothing related sizes, you'll have to use inches anyway.
Also inches are 1/12 feet, but both are (have to be) standardized anyway.
And how many inches do 187 feet have? Well, 187m have 1870dm. But for feet it's 187 * 12 = 1870 + 374 = 2244. And what about mm? Are there milli-inches? Or kilo-yards?

I don’t need to be used to my own body, though. *“If you already have a million dollars, it’s no trouble to lend out a few tens of thousands!”*

Until you need to divide something into equal thirds.
And the conversion is 1:1000 or 1:10 for metric system (mm, cm, dm, m), and 1:12 for feet-to-inches, so sure, you can divide by 2, 3, 4, 6 and get whole numbers, and for 1:10 you can divide by 2,5 and get whole numbers. With 4 you get one decimal only (10/4 = 2.5).
