In case you wondered where they came in the list like I immediately did:
- quetta Q 10^30
- ronna R 10^27
- yotta Y 10^24
- zetta Z 10^21
- exa E 10^18
- peta P 10^15
- tera T 10^12
- giga G 10^9
- mega M 10^6
- kilo k 10^3
- hecto h 10^2
- deca da 10^1
- ——
- deci d 10^−1
- centi c 10^−2
- milli m 10^−3
- micro μ 10^−6
- nano n 10^−9
- pico p 10^−12
- femto f 10^p−15
- atto a 10^−18
- zepto z 10^−21
- yocto y 10^−24
- ronto r 10^−27
- quecto q 10^−30
I noticed recently that a Linux command mentioned in its manpage that it supported Q as a bit prefix and I had to stop to ponder the utility in encoding a million-billion Terabytes.
But did they mean Quettabytes or Quebibytes? Because the difference is only around 250 000 times the size of the Internet.
Or, in other words, around 244 kibiInternets.
Bah, that’s just a rounding error!
I’m going to start giving my height in quectometres
Fun fact: they made these because Cookie Clicker needed them
Cookie Clicker doesn’t use SI prefixes. It just uses numbers (eg million, billion, octodecillion, etc…), which already extend into basically infinity I believe.
Glory to the metric system 🫡🇫🇷
Bah, Imperial Units all the way. How else would I know how many stone I weigh, or how many King’s Pubes I am tall? I don’t want to convert from kilometers (whatever those are!) to gentlemans-strides or shilling miles to get where I’m going.
Great, now I can talk about lightyears using Fermi length as unit
I’m switching my digital calipers to quetta-planck lengths.
Ronna and ronto: disgusting
Quetta and quecto: pleasing
1/R = r
lovely
Klaatu, verata, nikto
…necktie? Nickel?
You can combine these to have perfectly valid ways of saying 1.
I’ll have ronnaronto cheeseburger.
Whoa, that’s such big news, i just shifted a rontometer in my seat.
Imagine confusing ronto and ronna and accidentally shifting a ronnameter instead :P
Yes 2025 will be great year.
I’m hella disappointed
Lets define here and now Hella (H) as 10^666. It’s not SI official, but not “false”.
… b*tch!
