I fairly often drive 50,000m/h, except on the autobahn. There I usually go about 120,000,000mm/h.
And if I stack 1000 1cm³ blocks of water, the resulting 10m high column has a volume of 1l, weighs 1kg and exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. And to heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal, while 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.
What I want to say is: Your point is stupid and your units are too.
metres per hour
Sounds shockingly accurate for most European domestic cars

And this is all broken up into decihour days, no? With each hour being made up of 100 centiminutes?
right
Can you spot why years, months, days, hours and minutes are not SI units?
This is an honest question. The SI units were chosen very carefully with regard to their human usability and scientific universality.
To be clear, most science/advanced education in the US is conducted in SI units.
Also, a year is about pi*10^7 seconds, which can be useful for back-of-the-envelopes.
Using this, you can tell the time on your Swatch .beat.
No i’m not joking.
we clearly haven’t brexited hard enough yet
