        Whoever decided to abbreviate cubic meters into cum was one funny motherfucker. I appreciate their work everytime I'm stuck in traffic behind a truck hauling a shipping container.

          Oh they meant CUbic Meter. 1 cubic meter = 1,000 liters. So they should have put 1250 kL or 1,250,000 L

                  It's more common, and as for badly abbreviated cubic units, "cc" (as in motor volume) takes the top spot (and is listed as deprecated, which I think is the lesser problem compared to not being written as cm^3^).

                    The correct abbreviation for cubic meters is "m³". Kiloliters are discouraged (although Unicode has the "㎘" symbol for some reason, along with the redundant "㎖-㎤-㏄" triplet), and where I'm from "l" (or specifically stylized "𝑙" or "ℓ") is preferred to "L".

                      That's the familiar receptacle from when I tried to donate sperm.

                      They said I was a cancer risk though 😣 I hope they disposed of it properly.

                        Fun fact: You may think “Tank No-2” means it’s the “number 2” tank. Nope. It’s actually the tank for November 2nd.

                          I also donated at that location. It took me longer than usual because I'm a bit afraid of heights

                                  We need to aim higher. Much higher. No more cum socks, cum boxes, cum dumps. Planetary Cum is the future.

                                      Coming from an astronomy background, I can tell you that abso-fucking-lutely no one is going to use zettameters instead of kiloparsecs. If I tried to use that in a paper or talk people would think I was insane, and then demand I convert it to kPc.

                                      And they would be right to do so since kPc is an immediately understandable distance (to astronomers). One parsec is roughly the distance between stars. So one kiloparsec tells me something is about 1000 star-distances across. Easy. I have no idea what a zettameter is. I like consistent rules as much as the next guy, but sometimes you have to make accommodations for things that are actually useful instead of the "strictly correct" option that is useful to no one.

                                        I'm impressed by their operational efficiency. Here they are, making it happen 365 days per year. Someone deserves a raise.

                                          It's a suggested rule, which Nayuki knows are controversial. And I don't 100% agree with her either, for example I prefer "𝑙" to "L".
