It doesn't explicitly say it, but that redefines the second to be 1/100,000th of a day.

Doing that would break everything.

That said, I wish speed limits were in m/s. It makes more sense to me.

Miles or kilometers per hour makes sense in the context of travel, you can very easily estimate how long it's going to take to get somewhere.

Ironically, km/h is better for estimation because hours are 3600 seconds. If an hour were 1000 seconds or whatever, it would barely take more effort to calculate with m/s

I was thinking about estimating stopping distances and reaction times. The number of metres you cover every second becomes important then.
