Why do we just give up on metric prefixes when it comes to mass? It's a gigagram, not a milion kilos

- robertlagrant 4y agoThat's a great alternative to kiloton.
- frob 4y agoAt least it wasn't 1 megakilogram
- kolinko 4y agoit could've been 1 kilomegagrams
- horsawlarway 4y agoWell... at least to me, one of those is a large amount of a mass that I have some understanding of. The other is lalaland non-sense. I'd have even preferred "Billion grams" over gigagram. Although a gram is really hard to intuit about, since it's basically just too small. I can probably reliably tell you if an object I pick up weighs 1kg or 2kg, I probably can't reliably tell you if it weighs 1g or 2g.
