    Alright, I’m calling a 4.1666666666666666666666666666 metric hour meeting to discuss this!

    The meeting might run to a full 5 metric hours.

      there’s 86400 seconds in a day. If we use a new unit that is slightly shorter than a second as a metric second, we can do 100000 metric seconds a day, with 100 metric seconds per metric minutes, and 100 metric minutes per metric hour, and each day having 10 metric hours.

      Your 1 hour activity now takes 0.5 metric hours (it might be 20% longer, but that’s arbitrary anyways, we rounded them to the closest hour anyways)

      We are only used to the current system because we have been using it.
