  The campaign hasn’t made any progress since 2011 when Wolfram Alpha added support for it, a year after Google did. Google’s calculator still does support it, though, so you can write queries like like “1Zbit/s * 1 year in hellabytes” (3.9 hellabytes), or “mass of the earth in hellagrams” (5.9 hellagrams).

  screenshot of the film The Big Lebowski, with Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski sitting on the toilet while one of Jackie Treehorn’s thugs (Mark Pellegrino) holds a bowling ball. The subtitle reads “Obviously you’re not a golfer” but “a golfer” is covered by impact outline meme text saying “using base-six numbers”.
