When the Metric System goes too far [Long Short]

[@NerdyLlama21]

It's intersting that they abstained from changing the number of days in a month and the number of months in a year, but still applied decimal metric to the days of the week.

[@xDemon1cx]

I mean, the months relate to the moon. Just like they could not change the number of days in a year, they could not change the number of months in a year. Whereas a week of seven days is arbitrary, as in it does not relate to any natural phenomenon.

@xDemon1cx yesterday I sat down to read about it more, but the concept is very confusing to me. Are the decimal hours convertible to the hours we are using? If yes, then how long is one decimal hour?

[@killianobrien2007]

​@@NerdyLlama21there are 10 decimal hours in a day ( 24 regular hours) so that means each one is 2.4 regular hours or 2 hours and 24 minutes

[@xDemon1cx]

@@killianobrien2007 And then those 2h45min=165min (regular) long revolutionary hours are divided into 100 revolutionary minutes, which means that every rev minute is 1.65 regular minutes long. It sounds like a lot to wrap your head around, but if that were the only way you had been ever counting time, it would at the least make no less sense than the current system.

As a rule, we should ignore about...90% of what came out of revolutionary france. The metric system needs base 10 time counting as much as american democracy needs a napoleon

That’s a random fact I don’t mind remembering 😂

Because their calendar still doesn't make any sense
