american here, enjoy your report and permanent ban buddy, youve just crossed the line big time

I have to say, "da" is a bad prefix. Good thing nobody uses it.

No one needs SI units. Measuring in dicks or handegg fields FtW111!1oneOne!!

I've only ever encountered decaliters in Dune, where there's the awkward phrase "38 million decaliters" instead of "380 million liters". It's probably because Frank Herbert was initially thinking in gallons, and it got changed later.

Did you know that Americans use Milli-inches?

No yotta-? How do you describe the number of joulles it takes to blow up a planet?

Fun coincidence that I was working on making a graph (network) of the relationships between different units yesterday. Here is how it looks in a circle, yellow dots are lengths, mass red and time blue.

It's not perfect on the phone, but here is the link, press the "Refresh All" button to load the network and run the code.

Context: I'm writing a programming language to analyze graphs, so I thought "units are graph relationships, let me see what I can do". It was fun, but also funny because so many relationships are not simple factor multiplications. The network was extracted from the data gnu units uses, but I did it halfhazardly, so it's not perfect.

You can play around with the code if you wanna try your own things, there's user documentation and more examples. The actual network can be viewed using the buttons on the left of the editor.

I do wish we metric places (or at least Canada) were more flexible and familiar with the whole system. Sure we have milliliters and centimeters and kilograms, but people say things all the time like 2000km or 2 million kgs, or even things like 25000mAh. And I get it, people get into a frame of reference and want to stay there, but I wish people had the agility and practice to say 2 megameters, 2 gigagrams, and, well 25 amp hours, and still be understood. That last one's not hard, but packaging still seems to be stupid about it.

Why not both? It is time for the exatiddy

It's the only system, the imperial "system" is just some shenanigans on top of metric

Ah yes "Micro" Soft. Bill there named the company after himself.

As a member of c/sciencememes, you have my sword! (Or, at least my upvote!)

.000000000000001 is clearly the most evil measurement.
