    They so stupid, they unconsciously use it everyday for example to calculate medicines’ dosages or measuring time (miliseconds), it only shows how backwards and limited their measurement system really is.

      Time is mostly base 60. It goes against the metric system based 10.

      It’s like saying milifoot. For 1/1000th of a foot. Doesn’t make it a metric unit.

        What I meant by my comment is that 1ms = 1/1000s, and the prefix “milli” is metric, ik time isnt metri, I should’ve explained that differently in my previous comment cus it indeed imply that time is metric. Thank you for correction!
