1 floppy = 1.44 MO

Imperial, obviously: F(reedom)T(ons) and fractions thereof. 1FT is the amount of data that it takes to store the entire King James edition of the New Testament and the Bill of Rights as a PDF.

On the contrary.

KB = 1,000 bytes and MB = 1,000,000 is empirical.

KiB = 1024 bytes or 2^10^ and MiB = 1,048,576 or 2^20^ is Metric.

Remember, empirical is the miserable system the rest of the world abandoned because it made math and science difficult. KB makes storage miserable, never being clear whether your have the exact space your box claims it does. Please continue to Free^TM^ yourself from British "nonsense", while the rest of the world evolves.

In America, you need a monthly subscription to use that system

A bit in Freedom units is 2 metric bits because it wouldn't be freedom units without unnecessary confusion. A metric bit is equivalent to a freedom unit lil'bit, because it's smaller than a bit. A bite (no relation to a byte) is 25 lil'bits because saying 25 ones and zeros outload is a mouthful. A hot dog is 4.2 bites or 105 lil'bits because that's how many bites it takes me to eat a hot dog. A hamburger is 6.4 bites because it takes more bites to eat. A double with cheese is 7.8 bites. A whole hog is 233 hot dogs. A stampede is 23146 hamburgers.

Those are units of discrete quantity, so couple, dozen, score, gross, grand, etc.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-numerical_words_for_quantities

As all your other measurements are based on the subjective measures of random people, I'd suggest using the amount of digits of pi a senior can remember in the time a new school shooting happens as a base, like a Bit. Then just multiply by a random amount for bigger sizes and prefix the name with random presidents names.

Station wagon full of tapes

The Indians use Crore and Lakh

• A nugget: 1 bit
• A tendy: 1 byte
• A hot dog : 1 kb
• A hamburger: 1 mb
• A KFC bucket: 1 gb

An Uvalde is the memory equivalent of PCM 48 kHz sample rate of children screaming.

Yes another person who doesn't understand why the metric system sucks. American's (fuck yea) use only useful and descriptive units, so obviously MiB, KiB, GiB, etc. because who cares what the closest rounded Ten's digit is? The computer world deals in Bits.

I use Kb, Mb, Gb, in my world (networking). And MiB GiB and TiB when I want to know the actual size something is.

1TB can be Recommended Chrome Ram?

I propose the base measurement is a Reagit - equal to 36 bit states, or half-bits (36 was the age of Ronald Reagan when the transistor was first invented in 1947)

The next smallest is the Nuclearyte equal to the quantity of times the United States has proven technological superiority in war by using an atomic bomb offensively. So 2 Reagits is 1 Nuclearyte.

After that is the number of US presidents to have survived an assassination attempt (8) known simply as the ‘Merit (and don’t forget the apostrophe). 8 nuclearytes is 1 ‘merit.

Next is the number of years after the birth of Our Lord when Americans landed on the moon. 1969 ‘merits is 1 L-unit (pronounced like Loon)

Even bigger still is the number of amendments it took for the damn commie government to realize that alcohol is essential for human survival. The 18th amendment was a mistake, but the 21st amendment was blessed by Our Father who Art in Heaven without a doubt. 3 L-units is 1 chug

Next is the number of young men who died fighting for the rights of our United States to remain unquestioned by the damn commie federal government during the great war for individually united liberties between 1860 and 1865. 490,309 chugs is 1 Right

And so far we haven’t needed any larger measurements.

Power of Two

1GB is 29.8975 pots

1MB is 19.9315 pots

I'm surprised there aren't more suggestions which use intentionally-similar abbreviations. The American customary system is rich with abbreviations which are deceptively similar, and I think the American computer memory units should match; confusion is the name of the game. Some examples from existing units:

• millimeter (mm) vs thou (mil)
• meter (m) vs mile (mi)
• kilo (k) vs grand (G)
• kilonewtons (kN) vs knots (kn)
• statute mile (m/sm) vs survey mile (mi) vs nautical mile (NM/nmi) vs nanometer (nm)
• foot (ft) vs fathom (ftm)
• chain (ch) vs Switzerland (ch)
• teaspoon (tsp) vs tablespoon (tbsp)
• ounce (oz) vs fluid ounce (fl oz) vs troy ounce (ozt) vs Australia (Ozzie)
• pint (pt) vs point (pt)
• grain (gr) vs gram (g)
• Kelvin (K) vs Rankine (R; aka "Kelvin for Americans")
• short ton (t) vs long ton (???) vs metric tonne (t) vs refrigeration ton (TR)
