Anything metric > anything imperial

When this baby hits 8x10^8000000000 fs/Z you're gonna see some serious shit

The only metric time unit is seconds so km/h isn't metric (or even powers of 10)

h/s

I'm currently traveling through time at 0.00027Ģ… h/s.

That's the same unit, with a decimal multiplier for fast things

At least is not mph, that shit makes no sense.

US miles, UK miles or nautic miles? Imperial units are always crap (feet/s ?)

CucumberFetish@lemm.ee · 9 pts · 1y (2 replies)

feet/s is a gooner unit. Change my mind

JackbyDev@programming.dev · 4 pts · 1y

Foot pound? šŸ˜ Yeah, I'm hoping

The NASA crashed 2 Mars probes, proving that imperial units are crap.

Fuck now I gotta run from the law as well

Zerush@lemmy.ml · 10 pts · 1y

m/s is the best, everyone know aprox. what is an meter and an second to know the velocity, but not so easy with km and a hour.. 50km/h seems slow, but not so 13 m/s.

That's good and all. But we should go deeper.

For instance, what's the conversion factor to planck lengths per unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition of the caesium 133 atom (second) or maybe even per Planck time unit?

Hotter take: pronounce it KILL-o-meters and not kill-AH-meters.

Crankenstein@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

Idk why my brain is the way it is, but I can't say "KILL-o-meters", it always comes out as "key-LO-meters"

NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 1y

Ki-lom-e-ter is best

Why not just go with the universal and unitless proportion of "c"?

Or, for your slowpokes, parts per million or billion of "c".

HiddenLayer555@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Or, for your slowpokes, parts per million or billion of ā€œcā€.

cc, or centiC

ferric_carcinization@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 1y (1 reply)

What about μc or nc, a bit umder 300m/s & 3m/s, respectively.

My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Microlights and nanolights. Love it.

JackbyDev@programming.dev · 2 pts · 1y

‰ per mille (thousand).

KeenFlame@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 1y (2 replies)

I just use % personally

How fast you are going as percent of c

My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

That's a lot of leading zeroes. Or you have a really awesome motorcycle with rocket engines.

KeenFlame@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 1y

It's just easiest, it's capped at c and 0 so all meters just need to go to 100.. If you don't want exact measurements you can always normalize the value
