Our UX guy today presented a prototype of a new UI where users can declare an order.

Under the categorie "measuring unit" used to give the specification of mass or volume. He gave the following options

- kg
- litres
- m^3
- m^2
- others (which would allow the user to input anything)

Wtf why do you give the user the option to input anything. So we had to explain to him what SI units are...

Don't forget gallons and tons. Then people have the option to order "a lot" of something.

How about NOT GIVING THE CLIENT THE CHOICE? This is like a bad idea, always.

Wait! Are you telling me I'm the only one who orders things in Smoot^³. I even use Smoot for mass, but it's so hard to keep up to date with the accurate weigh ins.

@cmarshall10450 there should be a Smoot Operator who takes care of this. I think there's even a song about the job.

@Midnight-shcode but it wouldn’t be wet because it has no depth!

@Root
...now i'll be trying to come up with a misogynistic sex joke based on the idea that "a woman with no depth can't be wet"

... "thanks"
