British people are annoying more likely to reply in imperial units to this question.

Yes, but we use Stones to measure body weight.

Oh then I was being dense. I actually use kg because I'm of a generation that was only taught that and have no internal conception of stones :(

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ask a british person if they know about stones and they'll answer in kg/m³

Ok, but what's heavier, a kilogram of steel or a kilogram of feathers?

[–] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The feathers. They carry the weight of what you did to those birds.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My scale doesn't account for that. Where did you get yours?

[–] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My scale doesn't either but I can feel it when I pick them up.
