Slugs: When Your Mass Units Are Literally Slimy
Behold the absurdity of imperial units! The English system uses "slug" as a unit of mass while the SI system sensibly uses kilograms. The joke is brilliantly illustrated with an actual slug (the gastropod) circled in red—because apparently measuring mass with garden creatures makes PERFECT scientific sense! 🤪 For the uninitiated lab rats among us: a slug is actually 32.2 pounds-mass or about 14.6 kg. It's the amount of mass that accelerates at 1 ft/s² when a force of 1 pound is applied. Why use something logical when you can measure with mollusks instead? *maniacal scientist laughter*
