Because of reasons I recently had to carry a lot of garbage around for
the municipality to pick up. They would only pickup 2 cubic meters in
one sitting so I had to check how much I had. Turned out to be 0.9 m^3.
Of course inquisitive minds wanted to know how much that is in
buttloads, to my great dismay units(1) did not know!
So I had to do it by hand like some savage and of course I got the
conversion wrong hence the following diff:
You have: 0.9 m3
You want: buttloads
* 0.53207987
/ 1.8794171
About half a buttload, good to know.
Extensive research on the subject[1] found definitions for the
imperial buttload as well as the related metric assload. Curiously the
assload is a measurement of mass while the buttload is a measurement
of volume.
Comments, OKs?

I'm not entirely sure you are real.
