A tonne is 1000kg, any other measurement sounding like it is mental illness
Isn't that just a megagram?
I think that’s a Decepticon.
Yes
The British spelling also looks a bit mental to be honest. But I'm sure it's France's fault.
I'm just mad kg is the base unit, inconsistent with the rest. The prefixes for mass are all wrong (in my opinion).
Bring back the Grave.
For example then a joule could be G m^2^ s^-2^, no prefixes 🥹 (I dunno what the symbol for Grave would be)
kilogram isn't a base unit, the gram is
like, look at the word kilogram
You'd think so, but unfortunately no: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit
Edit: For example a 1 Joule is kg m^2^ s^-2^
