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.
You're thinking of a mammogram , a maritime is a long-distance running event over a distance of about 42km.
Yes
The British spelling also looks a bit mental to be honest. But I'm sure it's France's fault.
We're talking about a ton, not a tönnnèê
Ñ
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 m^2^ 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 m^2^ s^-2^
