I heard he could not tell a lie; he gnawed down a cherry tree with his wooden teeth and then threw it all the way across the Potomac, then told everybody about it.
Why is 60hz stupid? The US was ahead of Europe in terms of electrical development last century and 50hz generators were bigger and more expensive than 60hz generators at the time.
Seems like a waste of money to replace, and this is coming from someone that wouldn’t mind if we switched to metric here in the states. The Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion is the only one that fucks me up
Oh and Japan uses both 50 and 60, so we’re not even the craziest grid setup
But America is DC, Europe is already AC!
Australia has AC/DC. Can’t beat that.
That… Explains so many things.

He’ll save children, but not the British children

That’s the part before the inverter duh
This is an impossible feat.
We call it an impossible meatre in Europe

My bad. I only remember something about them using DC to electrocute an elephant to prove how much better it was.
They’ll say “aw, Topsy” at my autopsy, but no one will be more shocked than me.
I think that was Edison using AC. Apparently it was not part of the war of the currents. https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocuting_an_Elephant

But the whole idea of electrocuting mammals caught on, so there is that!
It is 60Hz tho (instead of 50) which is stoopid. So you were on the right track.

“Imperial existed since before metric and was more usable at the time so we should use it forever.”
Just stop trying to be the “im not like the other girls” of the world and join the blue world.

Yeah ofc now its kinda too late. But there was a time where it was easily foreseeable that it would make sense to switch, but wasnt done.
1.0 cycle a second > 0.8 cycles a second.
Also fuck 25fps TV
50Hz is 50 cycles per second, and 60Hz is 60 cycles a second. Nothing is using as slow as 1 cycle per second.
