i didn't even learn that

like literally it was completely metric and maybe "1 inch = 2.5 cm", we didn't do anything with mass or energy or anything like that

reminds me, i found out that some extra special engineers tried to develop an imperial unit for electricity that was basically btu-e(lectrical) :lol:

lol if you use anything but cgs for electrical work

you can also encode numbers with your fingers up to 2^10 and I think some ancient central American civilization counted that way
