That's about 6.3 olympic swimming pools a year. Olympic swimming pools are the only true way to measure volume.

I work on inkjet nozzles. One of our drops is maybe 9 nanograms. According to Wikipedia that's about 9e-9/2.5e9 = 3.6e-18.

No problem, we'll start specifying our drop weight in atto swimming-pools.

Thats about 30870 humans pee in a year.

[Arrath]

30870 individual urination events, or the annual urine output of 30870 humans?

Be sure to use the metric system! I'd like a half-micropool of beer, please.

Especially when you’re already doing it at the bottom of the ocean.

I'm going to need that in:

* Libraries of Congress

* Football Fields

Try https://www.theregister.com/Design/page/reg-standards-conver...

It is an imperial converter, and lacks most modern American units such as Libraries of Congress. A benefit is that it has some local units: Area (nanoWales - nW), Force (Norris - No), Length (linguine - lg), Temperature (Hilton - Hn) etcetera.

[lazyasciiart]

When you say "Libraries of Congress" do you mean the volume of their collection or the volume of the building?

[lsllc]

By volume of the building I guess (I'm not sure if the standard LoC unit of volume has ever been clarified).

ChatGPT says (and thus it must be true!), approximately 27 Olympic swimming pools could fit inside the Library of Congress by volume. GP comment had converted to 6.3 olympic swimming pools, so that means just over 1/4 of a Library of Congress (by volume!).

American Football (throwball) or International Football (soccer)?
