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.
If you keep this nonsense up I will convert litres to kilograms and back into milligrams, I will. Right in front of you
Do it chump! I’ll proceed to not read it because I don’t know how much any of those units are 😤😤😤
1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram. It also takes up a space of 1dm^3, or a cube that’s 1x1x1dm. How is this possible? Because 1 times 1 times 1 always equals 1, so your cube is always 1 cubic decimetre. Or 0.01 decametre. Or 0.001 metre. Of course we can change some sides of this cube and still get 1dm^3.
I can do it the other way around too, 1 kilogram of water weighs 1 litre! And I can do it as many times as I want to!
1 gallon fills around 20 glasses which is about 10 tummies worth of fluid which if drunken all at once will make you weigh 1 baby heavier and produce 1 toilet worth of vomit.
I don’t want to do it the other way around
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.
I can actually buy that instant hot chocolate
