A kilogram isn't a measurement of weight, it's a measurement of mass

What unit would the SI like us to use for weight?

The kilogram was redefined in 2019 so that ...the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h is 6.62607015×10−34 when expressed in the unit J⋅s, which is equal to kg⋅m2⋅s−1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and ... thus the kilogram is the mass of a body at rest whose equivalent energy equals the energy of a collection of photons whose frequencies sum to 1.356392489652×10^50 hertz...

I'm sure we all know how c and ΔνCs are worked out.

He's gonna tell me that centrifugal force doesn't exist and black isn't really a colour next.
