Hello. I just had a minor suggestion for our Lifting Strength page. Adding "tons" to the chart as well. I believe this will make the page much easier to grasp and understand. Especially for newer readers. The fact is that no one evaluates higher end lifting feats in kilograms or newtons. No one says "Goku can lifted 3.62874e4 kilograms during the Buu Saga." Or "Superman lifted 1.81436948e23 kilograms." Or "Ultron's strength in the Marvel Guidebook is in the 9.07185e4 kilogram range." The entire reason why the measurement tons gets used in real life is to account for extreme weights. Trucks and most heavy machinery aren't classified in kilograms they're classified in tons.
It won't at all be some sort of hard edit to implement. It's just a simple conversion using what we already have. It would only take a few minutes max. Class G onward perhaps needs scientific notation, but the rest of the categories can just be simply written out as "1.1 tons," "55.5 tons" and so on.
This also would not make an excessive number of sections for the table. So far we only have 3 sections (Kilogram, Newton and Explanation). The Speed chart has 5 separate sections and it's just fine.
As for whether we'd use US tons or metric tons, either is fine. I'm more used to the US ton personally and of course that's what media such as Marvel/DC comics more frequently use, but metric ton also works if we want to use just the metric system. Regardless the US ton and the metric ton only differ by 1.6%. So whichever we use wouldn't make that huge of a difference.
Overall I just think this would be a nice edition to make the article more comprehensive. Of course it's not absolutely a necessary make or break for the page. It's simply a suggestion I had. Thank you.
