        The only metric time unit is seconds so km/h isn’t metric (or even powers of 10)

      That’s good and all. But we should go deeper.

      For instance, what’s the conversion factor to planck lengths per unperturbed ground-state hyperfine transition of the caesium 133 atom (second) or maybe even per Planck time unit?

      m/s is the best, everyone know aprox. what is an meter and an second to know the velocity, but not so easy with km and a hour… 50km/h seems slow, but not so 13 m/s.

        Idk why my brain is the way it is, but I can’t say “KILL-o-meters”, it always comes out as “key-LO-meters”

      Why not just go with the universal and unitless proportion of “c”?

      Or, for your slowpokes, parts per million or billion of “c”.

            It’s just easiest, it’s capped at c and 0 so all meters just need to go to 100… If you don’t want exact measurements you can always normalize the value
