minus-squareusualsuspect191@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months agoWhy would metric time still use the same seconds? Surely it’d be a different unit that was a nice multiple of 10
minus-squarebleistift2@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoHuh? What are you talking about? What would a second be a multiple of?
minus-squareMagister@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 months ago60 is good because you can divide it by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 which is convenient
