I was mostly just joking. Of course we use lbs as pseudomass. Fuck, we’ve moved to lbm vs lbf in America because mechanical engineers must be stopped and metricated by force if necessary. We’re a spacefaring species that’s advanced enough to have planetary gravitational maps, of course mass is what we should be using. But also weight as force is just kinda funny to use outside the myriad times you actually need to in engineering

Specifically LBS is a force, though. Imperial Pounds is not a mass measurement, so converting it would be a better equivalent to Kilonewtons.

Or a middle school physics teacher that barely knows what they're talking about.
