14 hours agoIt’s not actually that intuitive when you don’t use kilograms. An American might know what a gram is, but mentally multiplying the conception of one gram by 1000, it’s hard to imagine. You really need experience with kilograms to understand kilograms.
As an analogy, say you don’t know Fahrenheit. I can tell you that 32 °F is the freezing point of water, and 100 °F is a really hot day. Is 300 °F the right temperature to cook chicken at? In theory, you can mentally extrapolate, but in reality it’s hard to say without direct experience with Fahrenheit in cooking (it’s not right, it’s too cold).
I agree! My country is so fucked because we’re caught between metric and American units. Worse than just Imperial.
