e.g a foot is now 33cm to make a yard almost exactly a meter, not entirely sure how to position the inch in this scenario tho, i dont think this cleanly divides by 12

2.75cm is like…. decent (quite close to what its actually at with 2.54cm) but still feels annoying to work with

mx @coolbeans, you might like to know that this happened during the introduction of the metric system in the netherlands!
for example:
- 1 metric mile = 1000 meters
- 1 metric rod = 10 meters
- 1 metric ell = 1 meter
- 1 metric inch = 0.01 meters
- 1 metric pint = 0.5 liters
- 1 metric pound = 0.5 kg
- 1 metric ounce = 0.1 kg
