  I think he’s proposing a skele-ton which is 0.01 tons, (i.e. 10kg), not a skelegram which is 10,000g. A skele-gram in this case would be 0.01g.

    Well ton is based on a prefix, so a prefix to that is a double prefix. Skelemegagram in that case.

      Sure, but the joke is skele-ton

      where’s the prefix in “ton”/“tonne”?

  An obsolete 10,000 prefix already exits (“myria-”) but Jesse’s prefix is a bit snappier.

  No no no no!

  Skelegram is my startup that sends skeletons to people to their email address or physical address.

    I thought it was a new social media platform focused on pictures of skeletons.

  This is my biggest complaint about SI, kg being the base mass unit with a heckin’ prefix.

  Bring back the grave 🥲
