How do you guys reach a point where you’re arguing for less effective science communication? They’re summing up values as universally recognized objects. Wow! That sounds like the perfect way to communicate with people.
It’s such a no brainer. The “anything but metric” meme turned people into dorks.
Only downside is, that most people usually dont know how mich a hectare is. It usually only gets used in the context of farming (at least I havent heard it outside that context)
that’s an acre.
how much land one is able to plow with 1 donkey (or horse, forget which. probably the horse as a donkey can be stubborn from what I hear)
The only thing you have to remember is, that 4 acres are one hectare.
If I remember acre comes from how much land one can now using a scythe in the morning (in German acre is “Morge” which is almost the same as the German word for morning which is “Morgen”)
That’s where hectares are useful and a sensible, well known metric.
