A tonne is 1000kg, any other measurement sounding like it is mental illness
I’m just mad kg is the base unit, inconsistent with the rest. The prefixes for mass are all wrong (in my opinion).
Bring back the Grave.
For example then a joule could be G m2 s-2, no prefixes 🥹 (I dunno what the symbol for Grave would be)
The British spelling also looks a bit mental to be honest. But I’m sure it’s France’s fault.
Isn’t that just a megagram?
I think that’s a Decepticon.
Your thinking of Megatron, a megagramme is an x-ray photograph of breast tissue, in order to screen for breast cancer.
You’re thinking of a mammogram , a maritime is a long-distance running event over a distance of about 42km.
Yes
We’re talking about a ton, not a tönnnèê
Ñ
Victim blaming!
Like most things, this is Britain’s fault.
No, an imperial ton is 1016kg. America made up this all on their own
I mean, sort of. TIL this particular unit came from different definitions of hundredweight. Though, I’d argue this is still kinda of British origin (and the pound).
My favourite unit to pick on when someone doesn’t want to switch to metric because it’s “European” and they’re proud Americans, is BTU.
Why yes, how American, British Thermal Units haha
Don’t be me started on tons of refrigeration 0_0 that’s nightmare fuel
And Reagan, don’t forget Reagan scrapping plans to officially switch to metric!
I bet Reagan made “soccer”, the British slang for association football, popular among Americans in his youth.
I think we should call “football” exactly what it is. Unassociated soccer.
Good thing they gave the easy method below of multiplying by 907.2
You want long tons which are 1.016 ton.
no, we want metric tons - or tonnes
a long ton is also not 1000kg; it’s 2240lb… a metric ton is 2204.6lb
We only use tons in America when we are weighing ourselves for new swimsuits.
Also for food portion sizes
1 American short kilobyte = 0.9766 kilobytes
Also known as the drive makers kilobyte.
Currently 844 bytes.
I assume this is meant as a joke, but my pedantic ass can’t let it slide. 0.9766 kilobytes, or 976.6 bytes doesn’t make much sense unless we are assuming a rounding error because that would require a fraction of a bit which is indivisible.
I’m assuming you were comparing kilobytes (KB) to kibibytes (KiB). A kilobyte is decimal based, so it is 1000 bytes. A kibibyte, which is binary based, is 2^10 bytes, i.e. 1024 bytes. And so a kilobyte is ~0.9766 kibibytes.
You wouldn’t believe how much RahKB/s this modem gets
Bro they don’t teach that in Meth class
Metric is just as bad. 2200 lbs. Why couldnt they make it 1000 of someting /s
No no. That’s 907 and 46/249ths
Makes perfect sense once you learn that a hundredweight is 112 pounds.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
Man i never read all this at once. is the dude Navy or Marines??? i’d reflect how sad of a condition a human must be in to have the weight of all that death on their hands and still need to abide by trite social customs, but also it’s probably just written by some fat guy who never left his parent’s house
It was likely written by a bored 4channer to annoy other bored 4channers.
That’s what they said
That’s what they said
That’s what she said~
Considering they misspelled “guerrilla,” yeah, they’re joking.
“Wrong house you are burning, I used a VPN”
Anime name?
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, I think
That’s the end of Battle Tendency
Ah right, you’re right
