this genuinely puts me in a dumb spot, i can deal with inaccuracy to get roughly right measurements at a small scale (a foot is about 30cm and such), but because the mile isnt derived from any other unit i just have to deal with 1.6km
imperial measurements are a fucking monster, unironically deserve to be replaced by a more metric aligned replacement that also happens to change a mile to 1000 yards and a yard to exactly 1 meter and such
@kopopp ngl that was the tie breaker for my made up metric aligned imperial system, an inch is now a 30th of a meter, a foot a 3rd a yard just is a meter and to make it name accurate, a mile is 1000 yards (which is now the exact same as a kilometer)
@kopopp like it literally comes from the latin word for a thousand, and the original roman mile was just a thousand paces (remarkably close to 1000m, whaddya know)
@kopopp as a nice bonus, 3 inches are now 1 decimeter
@kopopp im sorry misskey doesnt have a favorite button so im doing my best
