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^
