Calories are the worst fucking unit ever. I'm a kilojoule man! I've always been a kilojoule man! And I'll die a kilojoule man! Death to calorie! Death to kilocalorie!!

    I think it's pretty neat. It's SI-derived but scaled to an actual use-case, just like Å, eV and other specialty units.

    Oh it has a use case? Really? You're measuring the amount of energy your kettle uses in calories so that you can more quickly estimate in your head how much it costs to run which won't even be remotely correct due to loses and fluctuating energy prices? You probably don't even use metric to measure volume and temperature! You're a fraud! You're a kilocalorie using fraud and I hate youuuuu!!!!!
