    Not sure what point you think you proved. You can even check here:

    https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahatavara

    https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattinki

    Kakkosneloseksi tai pattingiksi kutsutaan rakennustyömailla yleisesti käytettävää 50 × 100 lankkua[2]. Nimitys johtuu lankun likimääräisistä tuumamitoista, 2 × 4 tuumaa

    Teollinen sahatavara toki tuotetaan Suomessa nykyään kaikki millimetrimitassa

    All the measurements there are in mm. “Kakkosnelonen” is named so because it used to be “approx. two by four inches”. It’s measured in mm though, same as basically all planks and shit (see all the other planks on that page). There’s also the official guidelines on how things are measured in building and what units to use, such as RT 02-11036. And of course at the actual job sites, people use mm, cm and meters.

    You’re trying hard to convince that in my field of work we use your measurements even though we just use normal measurements. So mostly mm, unless someone is sloppy an uses cm hah. Or when it’s not as accurate, meters. Why you would think we would opt to use anything else, I don’t know. Maybe you’re just so familiar with them that you’d think we are too and we would like those measurements? No idea.

    Btw, the internet is just awash in French chefs casually using Farenheit like it’s their native measure

    I’m intrigued by this. You’re a French cook speaking French and they’re just dropping measurements in Fahrenheit? That seems wild. Link some

    Btw it still baffles me. Why would you think we’d use Fahrenheit in metric countries? Why would we in Finland use Fahrenheit for cooking (or for anything else)? It makes no sense to me.

    E: I was thinking “hey, we measure shoe size in inches, don’t we? He has got us there!” but turns out it’s some French unit called “Paris point” that’s 2/3cm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_size#Continental_Europe

        You don’t think the carpenters we have in our construction yards are actual carpenters??

        over your bullshit

        It’s a sourced citation about the “two by four”. Or maybe you meant the guidelines. I know they sometimes suck but I wouldn’t call them bullshit. A lot of them are made by experienced builders and construction people.

        Also no links from you and you didn’t even tell me why you’d think we’d prefer to use inches or fahrenheits. Disappointed. You insisting we do something we don’t is kinda lost cause for you, but your argument on why you’d think someone would prefer inches to mm etc or especially fahrenheit to celsius might be interesting. And something you can actually argue.

          You’re so desperate I can’t take you seriously, you’re arguing completely irrelevant angles, countering points you yourself imagine I made.

            Your argument against every actual sign about how we do things here and against someone who actually works in construction was that some rando online said something you misunderstood. Also, not a single argument about why we’d do this thing you think we do and no actual links to the multitude of videos you alluded to. And once I started posting links, you’ve arguments have curiously dried up. Just saying.

              Some rando who told me exactly what I figured, based on knowing Estonian carpenters. You are so full of shit. Also, you’re putting words in my mouth and asking questions long since answered.

                “Some rando told me exactly what I wanted to hear (even though you misunderstood it tbh) so I’ve decided to trust the against all the contrary evidence.”

                This is what you’re saying and yeah, we noticed.

                    I have actually. Been on quite a few house construction sites and bigger projects too. Not that means anything to you, you’ve decided what you believe and literally no amount of evidence will change it. That sort of stubbornness is almost inspirational.
