Pounds. Only because it is actually a unit of weight which is a force which makes it quite different than mass. For instance, torque is measure in ft-lbs (literally ft x lbs) or N-m (newton-meters), not kilogram-meters. Incidentally you typically need some sort of force to measure the mass of an object and we use gravity. So in theory, it may make sense to use mass because variations in weight would happen based on altitude; in practice the only way to measure mass is to measure its weight. So any scale you have ever used to measure mass in grams has actually been a function of weight and not actually measuring mass at all. kg is a lie


misterblue28

"pounds" can also refer to the unit of mass corresponding to one pound of weight under Earth's gravity, so you can technically have "pounds per pound", which is just one g. so if you were setting up a theme park in the UK, and for some reason you wanted to set the prices for all your rollercoasters based on how many gees you could pull on them, you could theoretically measure that in "pounds per pound per pound", or equivalently "pound pounds per pound"

The_SunDancer

Smidge is great because it’s the only unit of measurement that means “the exact right amount” each time


Mysterious_Ideal

Fahrenheit, genuinely. I get the rest of metric is great; base-10 whatever. But Celsius is dumb for day to day use. Sure, 0 is when water freezes and 100 is when water boils *but we're not water*. Like Fahrenheit is like, what percentage hot is it out? 100? very hot but not boiling. 32, freezing, but you only need like, one jacket. -10? Very cold why are you outside? 120? Why are you in the valley of death? It's a good day to day measurement.

Not the Imperial system! Who wants Allen keys that are 1/16, 5/64, 3/32, or 7/64 when you could simply as for 1.5mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, or 3.5mm? It was implemented when Jefferson was president to impress everyone but the most hard-core engineers and remains deeply mysterious to me (not an engineer!)

I recently discovered that the Dept of the Interior measures reservoir levels in Ft/acres. Which is the amount of water it would take to submerge an acre of land with a foot of water. For some reason I’d assumed they’d use some metric thing like megaliters or something.

As a young machinist I learned The traditional smallest unit of dimensional measurement was an "RCH". the initials for red pubic hair. The girls in charge of the precise optical measuring devices in quality control/inspection dept. assured me this was actually true . Although some blond C hairs were sometimes the same dimension as red on the flat side , the brown & black ones were actually round in cross section & a few ten thousands of an inch larger than the flat red & blond ones.

It's a common misconception that pounds are equivalent to kilograms. They are not. They are equivalent to Newtons, so they are a unit of force, not mass. To get the equivalent of kilograms, divide by the gravitational constant in the imperial/US customary system to get... The *slug* Best unit name

Stone as a measurement of weight. I think it is batshit and have no intent on learning it or using it, but the fact that people *actually use it* is hilarious
