Comment on 50 T of "game consoles" imported by Valve in the past week

T means Ton, a unit that nobody uses to measure “game consoles” in any other context.

The headline can add 3 characters instead of making everyone guess what the letter T means

I am kind of mind blown that people are having problems figuring out T means tons…

Maybe it’s because it’s so unusual to measure game consoles in tonnes that we look for another explanation.
And I knew a tonne (1000kg) to be “t”, this capital T is new to me. I just checked wikipedia apparently there’s a fuckton of different tons.

Or you can use your brain, and use context clues to deduce the correct interpretation.

For game consoles?

Ton, or tonne? There’s a difference
LodeMike@lemmy.today 6 days ago
Ton because it’s the U.S.

The article says “50 Tonnes” tho, so now what…

This article says tonnes, but if you go to the original Verge arrival it’s tons.

Heck, maybe it’s really “TEU” but whoever is reporting has no idea what the EU part means so they tossed it.

You mean it’s not 50 trillion consoles? Enough for everyone on the planet to have 6,000? Damn.
