Not so sure about that, buddy...
If faced with the choice of giving up the metric system forever or giving up tiddies forever, I know which one I'd choose. I can get used to a new system of measurements, but without tiddies to measure, what's even the point?
The hangup in the US for a lot of it is the people who would keep trying to convert back into English units instead of just riding with it. Especially silly when it doesn’t change anything.
I want to upvote metric, but downvote "tiddies". 😡
Why is 1 unit of volume 1000 units of weight?
As in, 1 litre of water is 1 kilogram. 1 gram of water is 1 millilitre.
Why couldn't 1 gram be 1 litre?
edit: a better way to phrase this question is as @sc00ter@lemmy.zip put it:
The question wasnt about water specifically. Theyre trying to ask why does 1e3 mass = 1e0 volume and/or 1e0 mass = 1e-3 volume. Why doesnt 1e0 mass = 1e0 volume
It's like the reason 0 is freezing water temp and 100 is boiling water.
They used water as a standard when deciding what things ought to mean.

The gram was originally defined as "the absolute weight of a volume of pure water equal to the cube of the hundredth part of a metre [1 cm3], and at the temperature of melting ice".
Why? Who knows. If they'd already decided on the meter, then the most logical definition of a litre is pretty awkward. You'd think it would be 1 cubic meter of water, because then the unit of volume is 1 unit of length cubed. Then one gram would be one litre of water, which is today 1000 kg, or one metric ton.
But, then for everyday things people would be using microlitres and micrograms.
Really, the metre should have been the replacement for the inch (i.e. the centimeter). Then you could have 1 litre being 1 cubic meter (what is today 1 mL) and then the unit of mass would be the mass of 1 L of water, which would be 1 gram. A person's height would be in hm, and long travel distances would be in Mm.
yeah i suppose a 25.4 millimeter long dick would sound bigger than 1 inch huh
Jokes on you. I'm into 3D printing.
