    Topics for those subjects would probably be most appropriate in ~science, tagged as "math" or "physics".

        Math is done in freedom units. It is used to calculate how many furlongs to the nautical mile, or how many perches per acre.

        Maths is done by the rest of the world, who figured out the metric system.

          Simplistic multiples of 10 are for those poor countries which are not lucky enough to be led by stable geniuses.

            I don't know... None of the last five Australian leaders could finish a term. Seems we have a lot of stable geniuses in parliament.

              That's because our geniuses are unstable - but still geniuses. They'd need to be geniuses to keep track of who's the Prime Minister from hour to hour!

          Ha... the metric system? The foot-pounds per miles of re-education needed is daunting.

            I'm pretty sure that @zendainc was joking, and was using those examples merely for the sake of humour.

      Maybe we should have a ~STEM topic it's more universal then just science.

        I think that's a bit too general, especially because ∼tech is already pretty large.
