In a parallel universe, someone is memeing about how teachers waste our time on useless stuff and never taught us to convert between units.
This is actually pretty important to being able to solve engineering problems in the real world. Invariably, every little sub industry has its own cursed unit system. And dimensional analysis is great for solving real problems on its own.
And if you get to a high enough physics level, they start setting hbar = c = 1 or G = c = 1, and you never have to worry about it again.
I’m the mean time, it’s worthwhile to learn the trick to do this stuff fast-ish.
I dislike that my highschool never once gave me the concept that units can simply be treated like constants to be cancelled out.
I used to do the conversions for each variable before putting them in the equation like a fool.
Now I’m slapping all of the conversions alongside the original values/units in a single expression like god intended.

I’ll be pissed if the comments are about metric units
Thanks, I hate it

Saw a video using mHz recently and it took way too long to realise the readout was correct and not a typo of MHz …
Metre hertz? Lol
Just multiply by (1000m/1km)(1h/3600s) and cancel out the units, kids
Wait what, jow many kilominutes per hour is one mile per stone?
African or European swallow?

Don’t ky/s over unit conversions OP. It’s not that hard.
It isn’t even that much of a time waste you just multiply 1000/3600
But it would take me a couple of hours to figure that out.
Have you tried converting those hours to seconds?
Same order of magnitude, don’t bother with the trivial details.
I hate it when they do it !
The true evil are the fuckers who post recipes in grams instead of cups and ml.
But I love that 😫
