    I like how Europeans pretend they’re all scientific, but then still use seconds, minutes, and hours without thinking twice.

      Lmao Europe is not the only place where they use metric (I’m not European).

      Seconds are part of the metric system and are the base unit of time. Just because they didn’t define it initially doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or makes sense. They use milliseconds and kiloseconds; minutes and hours are used for convenience but are not part of the SI
