minus-square@someguy3linkEnglish56•edit-21 month agoA metric ton would be more accurately called a megagram (Mg). What Jesse is proposing here is a new prefix of skelegram to be 10,000 grams. That would also mean a skelemeter to be 10,000 m.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish22•1 month agoI really want skelemeter to be a word.
minus-square@BluesFlinkEnglish14•1 month agoI think he’s proposing a skele-ton which is 0.01 tons, (i.e. 10kg), not a skelegram which is 10,000g. A skele-gram in this case would be 0.01g.
minus-square@someguy3linkEnglish1•edit-21 month agoWell a metric tonne is based on a prefix, so a prefix to that is a double prefix. Skelemegagram to suit that situation which is the wrong way to do it.
minus-square@Jesus_666linkEnglish14•1 month agoAn obsolete 10,000 prefix already exits (“myria-”) but Jesse’s prefix is a bit snappier.

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•1 month agoNo no no no! Skelegram is my startup that sends skeletons to people to their email address or physical address.

It rolls off the tongue.
Skelemeter…

Sure, but the joke is skele-ton
where’s the prefix in “ton”/“tonne”?
