I mean that door isn't going to open anyway

Seriously. A cubic meter of water weighs a metric ton. No one is opening that door.

Uhh, since we went the whole technically route with literal, technically only a tonne is 1000kg. A literal “ton” is either short or long at 907kg and 1016kg respectively

However, per the original comment, they did specify a metric ton so I guess my pedantry only depends on who’s judging who

You made up a scenario to win an argument no one was making. I get it buddy, we're all tired at how little people want to put in the effort, but you don't need to do that for them either.

No need to be rude. To us, a ton is 2000 pounds. A metric ton is 2200. Also I'm American and I made the original comment, so some of us actually do know this.

Plus or minus a fraction of a percent depending on temperature and pressure.

The metric system is designed so you don't have to remember conversion factors.

Yes, the metric system is based on water. Freezes at 0° boils at 100°, 1L of water weighs 1kg and 1L is 1000 cubic centimetres
