1 deciputin = the manipulation of one foreign politician for a period of ten years
1 microdonny = 1 lumen of facially reflected orange light per cm of palm width for an average human
I always quite liked
attoparsecs per microfortnight
since it's roughly equivalent to
inches per second.
:-)
The milli-Farage = The amount of ugliness required to repel 1 boat.
cf. the 'milli-Helen'.

The Kelvin (K; and not "degree Kelvin," just "Kelvin") is the standard unit of absolute temperature.
Where I currently am, it's a comfortable 285.37 K. Sun's out, no clouds, not much wind.

Decisions over units have never been easy.
Is a pasty not just a European Commission-endorsed foodstuff, but a much-needed unit of mass? Or is it an ideal way of signifying radial measurements AND a cunning way of preventing inadvertent chafing?
For the confused (and I was as well, the running hashtag is there for a reason)

Ich schreibe meine Inhalte mit typst und bin etwas über Typographie gestolpert. Immer wenn ich Einheiten benutze, dann schreibe ich z.B. "9m" und nicht "9 m". Natürlich ist "9 m" richtig. Natürlich mit einem geschützten Leerzeichen dazwischen, damit das nicht durch einen Zeilenumbruch getrennt wird. Ich wollte mir dafür eine Funktion bauen. Jetzt könnte ich die Gelegenheit nutzen, um das automatisch umzurechnen. Beispiel:
Bewegungsrate: #units(9, unit: meter) würde dann Bewegungsrate: 9 m / 30 ft. ergeben. Ist das hilfreich?

Got confused here: I have this roll of baking paper which says to have "19m²/205ft²/pi²". So what's the pi squared doing there?
I found out, square feet are literally "pied carré" in french and consequently abbreviated to pi². 🤓
@ozofriendly
I don't think that "league" has ever been a particularly precise unit. I was in two minds as I wrote it as to whether to add "Circa" - LOL

How do people that use imperial units enter measurements in software apps? Assume you have a length that's 3 inches and 5/16. How do you enter that value in an app that expects a normal number? Do you use a calculator to first divide 5/16 to get 0,3125 and then enter 3.3125? Or do you have some assistive technologies that understand fractions? Or do you just enter "3 5/16" and hope the app can parse it?
