Yes. I eventually noticed my mistake and corrected it. 👍Thanks for pointing it out.

Hour isn’t the SI unit for time, but it is still accepted as a non-SI unit within the metric system.

What do you mean? I wrote cubed as ^3 throughout the entire explanation.

And in some cases, using metric would simply be worse in daily life.

No?

Like using Kelvin instead of Celcius

They are the same thing. They just use different starting points.

meters per second instead of kilometers per hour

Meters per second and kilometers per hour are both the same system, called the metric system.

seconds in general instead of hours and days

What are you on about? Seconds, hours and days are all part of the same system.

Fun fact: The fuel consumption of a car that needs 10 litres / 100 km (24 miles per gallon) could be simplified to 0.1 mm2

Actually yes. 10 L = 10 dm^3 = 10 000 cm^3. That means 10 L / 100 km = 10 000 cm^3 / 100 km.

To simplify further:

10 000 cm^3 / 100 km =

10 cm^3 / 100 m =

0.1 cm^3 / 100 cm =

0.001 cm^3 / 1 cm =

0.001 cm^2 =

0.1 mm^2

Is it metric? Yes. Is it practical? Not really.

It was already metric from the start before any mathematical simplification was done, so the metric system was definitely practical here.

Is the simplest mathematical form always the same as the simplest practical form? Definitely not, but that has nothing to do with the metric system.

I just downloaded it for the first time and I’m currently using it to type this comment.

It will take some practice to get used to this. 😅 Thanks for the recommendation.

It’s really good more people are talking about Lemmy on Reddit. It gives Lemmy more exposure and more and more users are making the switch from Reddit to Lemmy because of it! 🎉

We should all be making posts regularly on Reddit about how to easily switch to Lemmy. 💪

People are more ready now than ever before.

This is a tricky thing to do. I’d say start with yourself. On your journey you will find what could be interesting to which family member. All of them doesn’t have to migrate at the same time with the same product.

Small steps is always easier to take.
