    It is 60Hz tho (instead of 50) which is stoopid. So you were on the right track.

      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.

        “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.

          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

            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.

        50Hz is 50 cycles per second, and 60Hz is 60 cycles a second. Nothing is using as slow as 1 cycle per second.
