KB, MB, GB, and TB are all part of the metric system. What empirical measurements should we Free™️ Americans use for computer memory? (lemm.ee)

We should be using KB, MB, GB, and TB. Also we should adopt the entire International System of Units and stop with the shit we use. The army uses metric. Why can't the rest of the population?

This is a joke post. That’s why it’s in the programmer humor community

Oh damn. Well then I rescind my statement. We should obviously use a Base-50 system. One bit for each state.
