Ah, yes, good old metric time.

They tried it in France after the revolution IIRC. Didn't work all that well :)

I think it was 10 day week with only one day weekend. So 9 days of work instead of 6. Not sure why people didn't like it.

[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

But they were only 10 hour days, so it evened out.

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 5 points 8 months ago

10 hours of work or 10 hours total?

They weren't that long, just 100 minutes.

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

100 longer decimal minutes. One Earth's rotation was divided into 10 decimal hours, so each decimal hour was 2.4 standard hours.

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

You're telling me they worked 24 hours at a time?!

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago
[-] Kase@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I might have gotten mixed up. My thought process was, they worked 10 hour days, and you said each decimal hour was 2.4 regular hours. So 10×2.4 = 24

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I don't think anyone said they had 10-hour work days, just 10-hour days.

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Oh yeah, that makes sense. Thanks lol
