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

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

That's because of sleep deprivation!

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 :)

Hecto is very used in Italy with food "I'd like 3 hectos of ham, sir"

Deka is too small to be useful tbh, maybe it's used with medicines or drugs?

Last night was so hot, my ac took three sparks per witchburn!

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

Nah it's more relatable to humans regarding electricity consumption, the consumer would be confused and scared seeing 3.6 megajoules on a bill and not actually understand how power usage of watts of appliances would convert into Joule energy units. That's why electric cars motor powers are still rated in Watts and the bill shows a relatable term.

To add to that, that's why so many metric countries (not USA) still use imperial units colloquially because they are more relatable in real life like lbs and inches and feet. But then would use Km and grams in other contexts quite normally. And knots still always make more sense to pilots and sailors.

We use deci for drinks all the time

But they do know litres, because the big soft drink bottles are sold in litres. They know grams if they do drugs or bake. They know prefixes like Mega, Giga and Tera if they are into computers, and they know about "kilo" if they pay an electrical bill. If they're into military stuff, they know about "clicks", which are actually... kilometers.

I think it's slowly creeping in.

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

To be fair, neither can American minds.
