  1. Oh, I get it now. 23°C is just 230K? I get it!!

  2.  @Rig0r_M0rtis  It was a joke 😛 But no one ever uses nanodegrees.

  3.  @relaxoirl5920  The whole point of this video is explaining that systems of measure are a learned mindset, and if you're used to one system (no matter its flaws), it IS easiest to use that system.

  4.  @mrgcav  You don't think "23°C is just 230K" is funny? A simple power-of-ten move that the Metric system is known for? Your humor fluid must be dry or expired!

  5.  @aad6632  Well, he did end up writing "minus negative 273," so that would end up being addition. 😀

  6.  @KajtekBeary  “but Celsius is not exactly metric” What? Sure it is.

  7.  @KajtekBeary  They're both Metric units. Only one is the SI unit.

  8.  @kg0710  The nano-degrees mention has nothing to do directly with the joke. It seems that many "metric maniacs" are obsessed with eliminating decimal points... instead of 22.5 cm, they would insist on 225mm. If they saw a temperature of 25.000000003°C, they would then insist on it being 25000000003n°C (LOL!) Isn't that silly? If stupid people wish to believe I am stupid, then I am all for that. My point was rather the Metric system has its own nuances that must be learned.

  9.  @kg0710  Well, I think it's silly. As for "precise definitions"... those definitions can be revised whenever. You seem to be under the impression that "imperial" units don't have precise definitions. They certainly do. You might find it interesting to look up how often the US's official units have been changed to how often the Metric system's units have been redefined.

  10.  @kg0710  Sure I know why. Pangea. The backup? Do you mean the foundation, or the "in case of failure" ?

  11.  @kg0710  Currently... SI units.

  13.  @lyaneris  I tend to assume "ton" is imperial ton (either British or American), and tonne is metric.

  14.  @lyaneris  It's unofficial as far as the official SI is concerned, but that's what the word means.

  15.  @kingkiller5325  Imperial is still prevalent in Canada, too. One industry for example is railroads.
