In honesty though, do metric-users even commonly use a measurement between a meter and a centimeter? Like yeah a foot is stupid measurement but it's a reasonable size.

Half a meter? X centimeters? I mean, a foot only seems like a reasonable size if you grew up with it and used it all the time. When you need an approximate measurement you usually go with whatever sounds the best. After all, what makes a foot a reasonable size compared to half a yard or seven inches?

Also something that doesn't really make much sense because why would a person's height be measured in double digits for a thousand.

I don't know, TBF. Why wouldn't someone's height be measured in double digits? You tell me because I can think of no good reason why not.

I measure things in measuring cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons~

I measure things based on how long light takes to travel its length.

Considering the light-nanosecond is about 30 cm or just under 1 foot, that isn't actually as impractical as it sounds.

Yeah, the thing is that's 'This morning'. Tomorrow your arms will probably stiffen.

Nope~!

...Thighs still hurt. Attempting squats again. They don't feel as strenuous before, but that might be because the pain in my thighs is limiting my range of motion.

* Yoink has traumatic flashbacks to the "lodger" his last sharehouse somehow acquired, who spent his days playing an assortment of rhythm games for hours on end, dozing off on the couch often with a controller still in hand, eating anything that wasn't nailed down(as long as it wasn't healthy), creeping out female houseguests whilst annoying any male ones and, on one memorable occasion, getting caught masturbating on the front porch.

Quite a bit. Both the asocial[...]are tips of a single iceberg - AFAICT, I have been convincing myself that I do not need or want any social interaction. I do not really know why; as I conjectured, it could be a coping mechanism for being utterly incapable of interaction. I was like that when I was younger; I really couldn't talk to people. And so I told myself that it didn't matter; sour grapes and all that.
Hey, labels. Beware of labels.
Especially if you drop your ideas about sociality because of early feelings because of the context. You can't be asocial if the capability of being social is present. And knowing certain significant posts you've got (ie What you mentioned in a certain life advice thread), it's a misunderstanding of the self that's going on if you actually, really call yourself 'asocial'.

Have you had people to talk about this, along with your sexuality, that isn't over the internet as in physically?

I suggest practicing sexuality before assuming things about it.

Go forth and touch butts.
