it's called SEO and it's an art

SEO os the bane of the internet. SEO is why i have to scroll through a novella every time i want to check out a recipe

Oh that's so fucking annoying, but I also think it's part of the culture among those who typically submit recipes online.

it may have started that way, but now it's all SEO

We don't even need to choose! Just use hours, months, years, decades! But no, Barbie movies.

I'm sorry, can you restate that in terms of the number of ground state transitions of a Cs-136 atom?

The second is one of the 7 fundamental units

Yes it is, but SI is not all metric. Metric is fundamentally a base 10 system. Time is base 60 you can probably thank the ancient Sumerians for that but there's some debate.

At one point the French tried to make metric time a thing but it didn't stick.

Short times are always given in scales of 10 for seconds (ms, μs, ns). And long ones can be too.

And machinists in America use decimal inches, but I don't think anyone would say that inches is metric.
