i hate those fake american units

at least there's no US customary units for electricity and stuff

@chjara not yet

@chjara

@chjara two point charges spaced 1 foot apart are said to be of 1 abraham each if the electrostatic force between them is 1 lbf

@chjara surprised it's not done in BTUs tbh

@chjara oh yeah, we should be using 🦅 REAL 🗽 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸AMERICAN🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 units, like cheeseburgers or Iraqs

@chjara 1 abraham is equal to 6,780.902nC

1 Roosevelt is 1 abraham per second, so 6,780.902nA

1 bald eagle is 1 lbf-ft per abraham, so 176518.1V

1 hamburger is 1 bald eagle per roosevelt so 26.0317GΩ

@charlotte those units don't seem practical

@charlotte actually i guess pascal are comically tiny in metric so whatever

@chjara just so you wait until the first batch of american made 180 nanohamburger resistors for 19 microbaldeagle electronics leave the factory

@chjara this is based on the electrostatic cgs units which we stopped using because they had impressively fucked up sizes

not that the current system is perfect at that but the units aren’t like a factor of the speed of light apart in terms of scale (there is actually a second set of units, electromagnetic units, that are literally a factor of the speed of light away)

@TransGal4872 @chjara looking up recipes on anglo interwebs is like

[ai slop]
[ai slop]
[seo slop]
[recipe site full of ads that instead of giving you the recipe just has 10 paragraphs of national history from which you’re supposed to infer it somehow]

@charlotte what is this buzzwords in front of units, you need to invent new units for every scale, with some sick convert ratios like 50 (like states) or 18 (like Blue Angels)

@chjara

@EnigmaVoice @chjara mil is milliinches

@charlotte thanks, now I learned about another cursed unit - circular thou, or circular mil. Why. What am I doing with my life.
