the brain's actually trying to understand what things are made of, and it's guessing at that based on the light that enteres the eye.

this is why when you pick up a thing outside and take it inside, it doesnt change color (edge cases exist), even though the light that reflects off of it into your eye absolutely changes a lot.

realistically, nobody uses all the units.

eg, decimeters are practically unheard of.

anyway, start measuring things around you. like your fingers, your hand, your ceiling height, that sort of thing. and then remember what those measurements feel/look like. that'll give you something to compare other things to. you can do the same thing with volume measurements and so on.

for example, i found that one of the knuckles on one of my fingers is exactly 4cm long, so i always have that with me.

milk comes in 1L boxes, for example, so pretty much everyone knows what a liter is.

sugar and flour come in 1kg bags and that's roughly 1 liter too

cancel culture these people always loved:

  • silencing women
  • silencing queer people
  • lynching black people
  • eradicating natives

and so on

but you manage to slightly inconvenience a couple of wealthyremoveds ONE TIME and oh no, the world is against them, oh no, cancel culture gone mad

this is of course just lying with statistics. pooping and farting levels were always that high, but the repressive and secretive nature of tzarist russia suppressed the true numbers. it was only when liberation came to the people that reality could finally be acknowledged.
