For example,

60 seconds = 1 minute

60 minutes = 1 hour

24 hours = 1 day

7 day = 1 week

29-31 days = Month (approx.)

365/366 days = year

It’s like for the imperial measurement of distance, where 1 mile = 5280 feet…

Edit: just to clarify, I’m more or less keen towards any consistent, decimal-based measurement systems like base-10 or base-12.

    I can do it with other units too. 1l of water at 20C heated by 1C converts to 1 calorie. The average glass holds 330ml of fluid, so I need to expand 0.33 calories to heat that glass up by 1C.

    I actually kinda like the idea of the gallon due to how much beer that represents in a small unit, 1l is tiny.

      1 cup of water takes 2 minutes of microwaving to make 1 serving of instant hot chocolate which contains however many calories idk I’m not gonna read the label.

      Admit it, we have the superior measurements.
