Hi, I think in metric units, so almost everything is some form of a power of 10, like a kilogram is a 1000 grams, etc.

Sometimes I will think of an hour and half as 150 minutes before remembering that it is 90 minutes.

Does something similar happen to imperial units users? Because as far as I understand you don’t have obvious patterns that would cause you to make these mistakes, right?

    I tend to lean into fractions naturally, so time fits into that well. But like, I design quite a bit in FreeCAD for 3d printing and only work with metric for stuff like that. I hate that we have not switched to metric in the USA.
