Sitting in a waiting room and there's trivia questions rotating on the TV. They've all been pretty challenging... except for this one. 😬
"There are 1,000 grams in a..."
A. Pound
B. Ton
C. Kilogram
D. Ounce
In the US this is considered a trivia question.
@niavy @treyhunner @flore Ironically, the US measurement system is defined in terms of the metric system.
The legal definition of a US inch: 25.4 mm.
Metric is all over the place, but it's often hidden by translated user interfaces. And yes, those translations are often wrong.
As a former metrologist, we used to joke that a kilogram may or may not have a 1,000 grams in it… but a ton always will.
