And deci. What's wrong base 10? Why aren't you touching your decilitres.
It’s not the measurement system’s fault people like to fall down two notches and use hundreds of milliliters instead. The same applies to decimeters. Most people use meters and centimeters for some reason.
At least in Sweden, decimeter and deciliter are very commonly used. They are rather convenient units of measurement.
Because the Swede is reasonable, unlike the Danes
But their dogs are Great.
Those actually originated in Germany but so did Danes, so potato/tomahto 🤷
They ARE quite lovely horses, though 😉
Is that a joke about the unit called an are
I wish I was that knowledgeable lol, but no. It's a joke about the number one downside of owning a great Dane: everyone and their mom commenting about their size by saying "that's not a dog, it's a horse!" 😁
Hey! I resemble that remark!
If you REALLY want to see how unreasonable we can be, look what we've done to those poor numbers!
Wtaf
Yeah, it's really bizarre 😄
And megameters would be quite useful if we ever used them.
As would megagrams, but people insist on using tons/tonnes instead.
'Metric ton' just has a powerful cadence to it.
I require about 10 megajoules of energy each day to remain operational
It strikes me that decagrams would be good for measuring flour
That´s because it in fact is. In Austria dekagramm is a common unit, abbreviated dkg or dag. In shops it´s standard to buy and label cheese and sliced cold meats in dag and in Austrian recipe books stuff like flour, cornstarch, sugar, butter and fat are measured in dkg.
Deciliter is a common unit in cooking though...
I know that some countries do! I'm pretty sure they use dL in Norway in baking.
That's the beauty, you can use this unit, and most people will immediately understand.
Decilitres is commonly used worldwide....
Stop using litres, they are a fake metric!. A litre is a mili cubic meter anyway.
