That saves me a shitload on a vasectomy.
Not if the news media has anything to say about it! More at 11.
Maybe don't invest in pyramid schemes?
The more precisely you can count time, the more precisely and finely you can measure other things. This not only applies to fast phenomenon. It can also be used for syncing up multiple measurements made in different places; like that image of a black hole we got a couple of years ago.
It's another step in getting a finer resolution on the universe.
I've thought a lot about this, and I'd like to say: "Reddit can kiss my entire ass."
Guess what? You get to reinvent modern metrology!
I'd start with making a surface plate using Whitworth's 3 plate method.
Next, make a perfectly square block, pick two opposing faces of that block, that's your unit of length. Use your surface plate to make more and measure things against it.
If you're really smart you would have made that block out of some sort of homogeneous material like steel and made it a perfect cube, not just perfectly square. That's going to be your prototype weight.
Temperature is the easy one, make a thermometer. Mark where the liquid is at based on two different repeatability phenomenons. Subdivide as desired. Someone will come up with a "better" way later.
Time is another easy one, just build a pendulum and start counting.
That sould get you through most of the neo-industrial revolution.
The rest of the base units will come later for now focus on building a lathe.
Do it, you cuck.
Playing a barbarian with bear aspect: "What encumbrance?"
It was because you could fuck the bear.
Could have just said you were a furry :P

At what point does the court break out a physical gag? I hope it's soon.
