That's absurd to say. Of course people care about the sizes of their cars and kitchens. And they need to know the weight of bricks when thinking about weight tolerances in construction.

It is your post that is absurd. And you seem quite confused. I never said people don’t care about the sizes of their cars and the weights of their bricks. I said that maybe the use of the metric system doesn’t matter for those things. You are aware that it is possible to speak of the sizes and weight of things in systems other than metric right?
