    Check the modlog. 3 of OP’s other posts were removed by the mod, this one fits. I commented because OP posted nice images previously, but some days ago she started to post these unrelated stuff. This was her latest post at the time of writing, and I was sure this won’t be removed. First I wrote this comment under another post but it was removed before I could send it.

    But it seems it helped, the latest post again on topic.











  • What would we get if we would switch to another arbitrary looking value? Also other units are based on other constants not just the speed of light, so at some conversion you would have to use similar strange numbers, you wouldn’t solve your problem you would just move it to elsewhere.

    And you rarely convert to lightyears, so the strange numbers are outside, and everyday units fit nicely together with base 10.

    And 1 liter or dm3 of water is roughly 1 kg, so the original meter is actually based on the density of water. It’s very convenient that you can convert between weight and length in your head.
