I’ll have ronnaronto cheeseburger.
I do like to sleep in

In case you wondered where they came in the list like I immediately did:
- quetta Q 10^30
- ronna R 10^27
- yotta Y 10^24
- zetta Z 10^21
- exa E 10^18
- peta P 10^15
- tera T 10^12
- giga G 10^9
- mega M 10^6
- kilo k 10^3
- hecto h 10^2
- deca da 10^1
- ——
- deci d 10^−1
- centi c 10^−2
- milli m 10^−3
- micro μ 10^−6
- nano n 10^−9
- pico p 10^−12
- femto f 10^p−15
- atto a 10^−18
- zepto z 10^−21
- yocto y 10^−24
- ronto r 10^−27
- quecto q 10^−30
I noticed recently that a Linux command mentioned in its manpage that it supported Q as a bit prefix and I had to stop to ponder the utility in encoding a million-billion Terabytes.
But did they mean Quettabytes or Quebibytes? Because the difference is only around 250 000 times the size of the Internet.
Or, in other words, around 244 kibiInternets.
Bah, that’s just a rounding error!
Googol 10^100.
(Not sure if that’s official prefix.)
As far as I remember it isn’t, it’s just a named specific large number, like Avogadro’s number or Graham’s number.
Great, now I can talk about lightyears using Fermi length as unit
“What the hell are you kids doing down there in the basement, that you need these more specific units?”
“Um… nothing, sir. Everything is quite all right, quite all right.”
“Hrumph! Very well then, I shall be in my study. And do try to keep the bloody racket down, for chrissakes!”
“Yes sir, thank you sir, goodnight sir… Whew… that was a close one!”Damn, I was really holding out for Hella for 10^27
If 1027 would be Hella, would 10-27 then be Hello? 🙃
The campaign hasn’t made any progress since 2011 when Wolfram Alpha added support for it, a year after Google did. Google’s calculator still does support it, though, so you can write queries like like “1Zbit/s * 1 year in hellabytes” (3.9 hellabytes), or “mass of the earth in hellagrams” (5.9 hellagrams).
Alas, the prefix H was already in use according to the page you linked. Disappointing.
I don’t think it’s used as a prefix but as a unit symbol. Point still stands though, unfortunately.
Maybe there can be an exception when referring to Californium
Urgh. Batter not.
Klaatu, verata, nikto
…necktie? Nickel?
Actually, it’s not ronnabyte, it’s ribibyte …
RiB
Fun fact: they made these because Cookie Clicker needed them
Cookie Clicker doesn’t use SI prefixes. It just uses numbers (eg million, billion, octodecillion, etc…), which already extend into basically infinity I believe.
Glory to the metric system 🫡🇫🇷
Bah, Imperial Units all the way. How else would I know how many stone I weigh, or how many King’s Pubes I am tall? I don’t want to convert from kilometers (whatever those are!) to gentlemans-strides or shilling miles to get where I’m going.
Ronna and ronto: disgusting
Quetta and quecto: pleasing
10-30 quesito
Ohhh, síiii
10^32… Chilito
Yes! Yes baby yes!
1/R = r
lovely
… b*tch!
smol
Not to be confused with
SWOL
‘s’ and ‘S’ could be usable for these.
The only problem being smol -> s mol -> smol mole …Because mol is another unit, making the usage of the full form ambiguous
