As a scientist I have an innate desire to want to use metric measurements. But as an someone born in America I also have a desire to use obscure measurements no other sane person in the civilized world would ever consider using.

As such I have decided that from now on I will use femtoparsecs and attoparsecs for all measurements of length.

I am 57.6 attoparsecs tall

My jeep gets 344 femtoparsecs to the liter

@mur2501 @freemo I prefer to stick with the one true measurement system: Planck units.

I am 1.1013×1035 Planck lengths tall.

@freemo @mur2501 Kelvin still has an arbitrary unit (coming from Celsius). Planck temperature is the best. It's 2.1679×10-30 Planck temperature outside.

@loke @freemo
I am a philosopher in science so no measurements exists for me as everything is just relative and changes on our perspective.
There is no absolute truth to the world.
I kill 10 people, or kill 10^6 people, doesn't makes any difference :blobcatgoogly:

@mur2501 @freemo To be fair, Planck units does away with that in some respects. I guess a Planck population would be either 0 (no people) or 1 (all the people).

@loke @freemo
It's all a game of perspective where you see people, I see atoms, freemo sees waves, and no one sees reality

@mur2501 @freemo If you ask Sean Carroll he'd say he sees wavefunctions and that is reality. His arguments in favour of Everett's interpretation of QM is quite convincing. Or rather, it's the only explanation that I find even remotely convincing.
