Don’t be silly, mooches and trusses are obviously imperial measurements. You can tell because there’s several of them to measure the exact same thing, and with no obvious relationship between them.
Case in point, imperial length: 12 inches make a foot, 3 feet make a yard, and 1760 yards make a mile.
Metric length: 1000 millimetres make a meter, 1000 meters make a kilometer. Wild huh?
To be fair, minutes, hours and days have received the “Works with SI” stamp, but they’re not official measures. The metric unit for time is the second, with the rest being defined as multiples of that (a day being 86400 sec, etc.)
Imperial/metric flame war! Fuck it, let’s get even more pedantic and go back to using decimal time. 10 hours a day, 100 minutes an hour, and 100 seconds a minute, all altered in duration to fit into their superlative hierarchical tier. A day would then be 100000 decimal seconds. Does that make the metric powers of 10 part of your brain happy?
/s for fake passive-aggression. I’m not actually upset, your comment just reminded me of decimal time.
On a related note, 60 (seconds per minute, minutes per hour) is a cool number because it’s divisible by so many factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60. It’s because 60 is divisible by so many numbers that we can have increments of an hour be in while numbers of minutes without decimals. A quarter hour is 15 minutes. A third is 20 minutes. One tenth is 6 minutes. Base 60 seconds and minutes are flexible and convenient.
Anyways, that’s enough late night rambling. Enjoy your day, internet stranger.
101 days. That’s 9.2 Mooches or 2.3 Trusses if you prefer the metric system.
