  • It’s easier to use their names

    Deci = 1/10th
    Centi = 100th
    Milli = 1000th
    Micro = 1,000,000th
    Nano = 1,000,000,000th

    Deca = ×10
    Hector = ×100
    Kilo = ×1,000
    Mega - ×1,000,000
    Giga = × 1,000,000,000
    Tera = × 1,000,000,000,000,000

    Etc prefixing the thing being measured.

    So you know what a centimetre, gigabyte, megaton, kiljoule, etc. are.

    Other easy conversions too, like 1kg = 1L of water.

    And it’s metre. Because a meter is a measuring device and all this shit is Latin (metrum) like proper science stuff be. Americans don’t even use it, so they can fuck off with their misspelling.

    And that’s it. You now know the metric system. You probably now realise you’ve been using it all along for many things.



  • Obv the cat grill friend.

    I don’t even see a honeymoon phase with a cat girlfriend. Just a straight up miserable, destructive relationship that ends with a trip to an animal shelter a year later. I assume they’d count? Otherwise I’d have to disappear and identity change so they can never come back into my life.
