Now do the same with US customary units. Let's see what their hourglass looks like 🫠

I think I can see a tiddy or two in that number curve
I'm not 100% sure on the accuracy of this data, but if ever there was a place to paste this information, it is here.
Average Tiddy weight per boob by cup size, in Metric and Lemmy scales
A cup = 0.454kg = 1.1 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
B cup = 0.78kg =1.9 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
C cup = 1.023kg = 2.4 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
D cup = 1.388kg = 3.3 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
E cup = 1.950kg = 4.6 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
F cup = 2.35kg = 5.6 Tins of Heinz Baked Beans in Tomato Sauce
[Edit] I'm not sure if this is per boob, or per pair of boobs. More research required.
Omg we've been cursed by big tiddy
GOD I FUCKING HOPE SO

Deka and Hecto are the metric system’s unloved children
Hecto used to be popular in sweden until like 2000 or so, when it came to food. Especially candy and charcuterie were priced and ordered in "hekto" (the "gram" dropped in speech).
In Hungary "dekagram" is the default unit when buying food from actual humans at a deli counter or market. Asking for 30 deka of cheese sounds like a more human-scale number than asking for 300 grams.
Though it's interesting that hecto would be even better for this, as we always use deka in 10s (or at least 5s), so we could just ask for 3 hectograms of cheese for an even more human-scale number :)
That's pretty cool. Makes me think about speaking in ounces locally (NL). "3 ounce of cheese please" will get you 300g. They could ask if they cut it too fat: "mag het een onsje meer zijn?"/"Is it ok if it's a small ounce more?"

The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it.

Metric haters when they realize their electricity is measured in Volts (metric unit), not in "relatable" units like Sparks:
Last night was so hot, my ac took three sparks per witchburn!

Hey hey, US customary units are metric:
The majority of U.S. customary units were redefined in terms of the meter and kilogram with the Mendenhall Order of 1893 and, in practice, for many years before.
They just use weird provincial conversion factors, that's all.
They could be more metric. Just imagine this wonderful reality:
- 1 inch = 2,5cm
- -> 1 hand = 10cm
- 1 foot = 30cm
- 1 yard = 1 m (=3ft+1hd)
- 1 pound = 500g = ½kg
- 1 thou = 25μm
Funny thing is here in the Netherlands some people use pounds and ounces ( pond and ons in Dutch ) when they buy meat at the butcher. 1 pond = 500 gram, 1 ons = 100 gram

Yes please. I have no fucking IDEA what a mile is. What's a yard. A foot. Make it make sense
A miles is a furlong squared.

Such a satisfying system
Put this on the Ronald Reagan did it pile. Jimmy Carter started us on the path to metric and then Reagan halted it.
Pour one out for the deci, even autocorrect attempted to remove it from my message.

While we're on the subject, can we please kill off "kilowatt hours". Fuckers, those are Joules, 3.6 Megajoules specifically.

Wait, no, please convince my countryfolk to metricate. I'm an engineer and desperately want to be able to design things in metric. It's so much better but the average American doesn't know a meter from a hole in their ass

I'm wide awake but here's an upvote.
I'm an American, WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER!?
A kilometer is
0.000,000,000,000,001 Exameters
0.000,000,000,001 Petameters
0.000,000,001 Terameters
0.000,001 Gigameters
0.001 Megameters
1 Kilometer
10 Hectometer
100 Dekameter
1,000 Meter
10,000 Decimeter
100,000 Centimeter
1,000,000 Millimeter
1,000,000,000 Micrometer
1,000,000,000,000 Nanometer
1,000,000,000,000,000 Picometer
1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Femtometer
or
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Attometer
You're talking to an American. They use anything but a logical system. To explain to them what a kilometer is, you need to put yourself in their position and go from that. Let me help:
A kilometer is:
- ~167 Ford F-150's,
- ~1,150 dishwashers,
- ~5,556 bibles,
- ~5,263 bananas,
- ~1,250 AR-15's,
- ~0.62 miles,
- ~3,281 feet,
- ~39,370 inches,
- etc.
To make sense to an American, you need to not make any sense. This includes swapping the period and comma around in numbers, but you already did that.

(you forgot 3 zeroes in Picometer)
thank you for pointing it out :-)
Thanks man, that really cleared it up. I understand now.
Trans girl I use to know called herself femto. I assumed it was because of her foot fetish but maybe it was related to the metric system.

Don't make me start measuring things in decifeet just to be contrary. I have a measuring tape dividing the foot in tenths and I'm not afraid to use it.
