no mass multiplied with gravity still results in no force, 0 Lb = 0 Kg; 0 Lbf = 0 N
Comment on The heat... I mean the cold... well, it’s palpable!

Yes, but 1kg also results in no force, so it’s a trivial statement.

Gravity? What does that have to do with mass
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Nothing, but it can have a lot to do with force, for which pounds is the US customary unit.

when compared to a value in Kg, the only logical interpretation is the mass pound. If it were lbf, the si unit conversion would be Newtons.
Having the same name for two different, but easily mixed up units is really annoying haha

It’s clear from context clues that they don’t mean Force. As kilograms are an indicator of mass, not force. It’s not our fault that US’ imperial system is silly.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Imperial is a British thing, and the quantities differ significantly from US customary.

huh?
Mass doesnt change with gravity
ramenshaman@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Lbs is not mass, it’s weight/force.
FiskFisk33@startrek.website 1 day ago
isn’t that lbf?
ramenshaman@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Lbs can be lbf or lbm, but usually is referring to lbf, which is 0.4536 kg at 1g.

And temperature doesn’t change with pressure

I’m not sure if you’re joking, but it does. PV=nRT
