And is that 96 in base-twelve or base-ten?

Ew

Good thing the EU has an SI-unit alternative…

Plenty of cooking recepies use deciliters.

And I’m not convinced about dozenal or hexadecimal for a unit system as long as base-ten is what we count in. The units should always be in the same base for the sake of simplicity.

I think it’s worth adding that while no system can avoid difficult divisions, we use the same base-ten numerals everywhere so metric only has to deal with the limitations of base-ten. Using a unit system with a different base, but then having base-ten numbers to count those sounds like it defeats the purpose. If we counted in base-twelve, then that would be a different matter.

The man in the picture (assuming he isn’t ai generated) is a bit too dead to care about wasted lives, his own or anyone elses.

And the parliament has to vote against it, and I’m betting they’ll then have to do that again and again ad nauseam, same as with chat control…

Just show them that one xkcd about how abrupt the current warming is and how nicely it lines up with industrialization. The comparison between the natural slow shifts in global climate vs. what’s been happening the last century or so is the clearest counter to “but the climate has always been changing”.

The other times that things have changed in comparable timescales, it’s been caused by supervolcanoes or other such calamities.

Edit: Oh yeah one caveat: The xkcd is ten years old and we’re now actually already around +1.5°C.
