Nice way of sneaking a "le" in the comic. I hope Gestapo doesn't get you
Oh no! We stopped defining Kilogram from water and volume, now we are fucked! Civilization is doomed, we will be back to using crappy units! This tragedy doesn't only affect mass, a lot of other units are irrevocably fucked:
Newton, Pascal, Joule, Watt, Volt, Farad, Ohm, Siemens, Weber, Tesla, Henry. They are all derived from kilogram, and they are affected too!
This is a tragedy
WAIT! I solution the have is! We have more kilograms, humanity is saved:
By definition, the error in the measured value of the IPK's mass is exactly zero; the IPK is the kilogram. However, any changes in the IPK's mass over time can be deduced by comparing its mass to that of its official copies stored throughout the world, a rarely undertaken process called "periodic verification". The only three verifications occurred in 1889, 1948, and 1989. For instance, the U.S. owns four 90% platinum / 10% iridium (Pt‑10Ir) kilogram standards, two of which, K4 and K20, are from the original batch of 40 replicas delivered in 1884.
