Potrzebieism

Potrzebieism is the ideology that the metric system and the imperial system are both bad and that we need to make a switch to Potrzebie units. It believes that Potrzebie units should be used in commerce as well as daily life. It also believes that we must discard the Gregorian calendar and switch to the Potrzebie calendar. It has no opinion on temperature whatsoever.

Length
The Potrzebie unit of length is the potrzebie. It was originally defined as the thickness of MAD issue #26. It was defined to be 2.2633 mm. (0.0891 in.)

Volume
The Potrzebie unit of volume is the ngogn. It was defined to exactly one thousand cubic potrzebies. It is equivalent to 11.594 cubic centimeters (0.708 in3).

Mass
The Potrzebie unit of mass is the blintz. It is defined as one ngogn of halavah, which is a certain type of pie with a specific gravity of pi and a specific heat of pi/10. Assuming the standard for this specific gravity is 1 g/cm3, the blintz would be 36.424 grams. (1.285 oz)

Time
Time is measured in 7 different units, which are just decimal powers of the average earth rotation (one clarke). A month (mingo) in this system would be 10 clarkes, and a year (cowznofski) would be 100 clarkes.

Density: Blintz/Potrzebie
One blintz per potrzebie is equivalent to ~3.1416 g/cm3 (~62.43 lb/ft3).

Velocity: Potrzebie/Clarke
One potrzebie per clarke is equivalent to 2.2633 mm/day (0.0891 in/day or 32.52 in/yr).

Liquid Flow: Ngogn/Clarke
One ngogn per clarke is equivalent to 11.594 mL/day (483.08 µL/hr or 0.392 fl. oz/day).
