A tonne is 1000kg, any other measurement sounding like it is mental illness
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.
Yes
We’re talking about a ton, not a tönnnèê
Ñ
The British spelling also looks a bit mental to be honest. But I’m sure it’s France’s fault.
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)
kilogram isn’t a base unit, the gram is
like, look at the word kilogram
You’d think so, but unfortunately no: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit
Edit: For example a 1 Joule is kg m2 s-2
Victim blaming!
Like most things, this is Britain’s fault.
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.
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
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
Good thing they gave the easy method below of multiplying by 907.2
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.
Anime name?
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, I think
That’s the end of Battle Tendency
Ah right, you’re right
