I measure battery capacity and electricity consumption in J/kJ/MJ, as intended. None of that kWh bullshit.
It also makes for fun comparison with energy value of foods.
Energy is energy, after all.

one thing i enjoy way more than i should is use units that are technically correct, but no one uses them like ever.
like megagrams instead of metric tonnes.
or 1 dekameter instead of 10 meters.

im a fan of giving energy in: kg • m² ÷ s²
FooBarrington@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
What, you still multiply by an arbitrary constant? I remember back before I switched to: kg • c²

I only use metric when it’s in forms nobody else uses or recognizes at a glance because I need to be difficult. Decimeter is perfect for like, height of a person, for example. Why do they use CM?

Precision. “17dm” can be anything between 16.5dm or 17.5dm.
You could of course say “I’m 17.5dm tall”, but at this point “I’m 175cm tall” is shorter (no dot).

decimeters is perfectly fine. basically all volume calculations boil down to dm³ as 1 dm³ = 1L
