    yeah, because all y’all didn’t notice your precious kilogram EVAPORATED UNTIL 7 YEARS AGO HOW LAME

    evaporating parisian units stands as long as the original kilogram did. so i guess y’all gotta live with the shame of “we can’t base our system of measurements off a Foot! That’s uncouth! it’s a body part! let’s base it off this evaporating hunk of metal!” until 2149.

      The pound has been defined as 0.453 592 37 kg since 1959, having relied on the slightly evaporating Parisian etalon for 60 years. You have no moral high ground.
