40 minutes late, so I guess 1 2/3 hour rule

Why?!

Simply invoke the 100-minute hour! :D
Time to get rid of this nonsensical 60-minute hour anyway. I’m all for metric units.

Fuck no ._.
The wheels are horrid.

100 seconds/minute
100 minutes/hour
10 hours/day
10 days/week
10 weeks/year

On second thought, let’s not do this.
“Darling, it’s the middle of the week already ... only five days to go!” sounds really bad.
100 seconds per minute. Sounds fine.
100-minute hour sounds fine, too.
10-hour day ... well, minutes and hours are longer, so why not.
10 day week ... s.a.; subjectively terrible!
It certainly makes for some odd thoughts. Your year would be made up of 10^8 newly-fashioned seconds, while our year dares show up with about 31.5M old-fashioned seconds.
But since a year would have to be a year .... ugh, I think I need my breakfast coffee now. :D

The idea stuck with me for a bit longer ...
1 metric second would equal 3.15576 current seconds.
At a rate of 0.316881 metsec:1s, the 100- metric second long metric minute would last roughly 315.58 current seconds or 5 minutes and 15.6 seconds.
With the metric hour boasting 100 metric minutes, that would gives us 31,557.6 seconds or about 8 hours 46 minutes in normal money. Times ten that for the metric day : 315.576 seconds or 87 hours and some 40 minutes. Your metric week would be 315.5k seconds long, or 876 hours and 36 minutes. Ten of these would form a year.
Who needs months anyway!
“Just a second” would be worth 3.156 times as much as it is now.

Are you saying that a “metric” second is 3.156 times longer or shorter than a “current” second?
But in the end, after all that work, time itself does not slow down or speed up. Us humans just divide it into little pieces and sections.

With just 10^8 metric seconds per sun year, each metric second would take up 3.156 current seconds. Hence the long metric minutes (5 “normal” minutes).
I was surprised it turned out that way ... but that’s what happens when you leave out months.
Seeing that 1 metric minute equals pretty much five of our minutes, I’d be happy with a metric hour consisting of a mere 10 metric minutes and clocking in at little less that our standard hour.
At 100 metric minutes per metric hour, the “hour” would be ~8.5 hours long, which seems a bit much. I mean ... surely, everything would be measured in minutes only! :D
