Starting the week with Sunday feels very American. I don't trust Americans to create a new calendar, since they are still stuck with their Imperial units.
Nah, metric sucks. The fact that your largest unit of measurement is 0.62 of a mile is laughable in the modern day where we travel many many miles on a daily basis. And the fact that there is nothing between a meter and a cm is retarded. Imagine if imperial just went from cm straight to yards, that would be retarded since feet is the most commonly used unit of measurement for the average joe on an average day.
Miles are too short. Enjoy our supreme Scandinavian units. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_mile Imagine that. A unit that works perfectly with the metric system, while being 6 times longer than a murican mile.
Anyway, you obviously don't understand SI-prefixes. So let's resolve your incorrect assumption within the metric system as well. The unit of measurement isn't kilometer, the unit of measurement is meter. You then add a prefix with the size of your choice. Kilo is 1000 (10³), so 1km is 1000 meters. Nothing is stopping you from using the next prefix, mega (10⁶). 1Mm is 1 million meters or 620 murican miles. If bigger is better, I'd take the mighty Megameter over the puny murican mile any day.
Imagine if data units were in murican instead of SI-prefixes. There wouldn't be byte, kilobyte, megabyte and gigabyte. Instead it would be inchbyte, footbyte, milebyte. How many inchbytes goes into a milebyte? I guess it's 12 ouncebytes and a poundbit.
Then you are beyond hope newbie.
Found the snowflake murican. Also, do you even ISO 8601?
