Hi, I think in metric units, so almost everything is some form of a power of 10, like a kilogram is a 1000 grams, etc.

Sometimes I will think of an hour and half as 150 minutes before remembering that it is 90 minutes.

Does something similar happen to imperial units users? Because as far as I understand you don’t have obvious patterns that would cause you to make these mistakes, right?

    Time sucks ass. How many seconds in a day? 86400 or something. The whole thing feels like imperial units. I’d prefer if we’d just have percentages instead and work on fractions with special names for them.

    Full disclosure, I’m a programmer.
