Since this is the only other comment about their volume I’m putting this here. Every time I see this image posted, I have to point out there is 0 chance those are 4000 cm³. Those are like, 4x or 5x the size of a 4 L (1 gallon for you americans) milk jug, which actually are ~4000 ml.
No there are 4000 cc’s which is equivalent to about 4 l or just over a gallon. They’re not saying that they were 4 cm squared but they were saying they liquid amount in them which is common for how much liquid is involved in a breast implant.
Units are meant to be cross-language. If you want stupid units and ad-hoc abbreviations, use the imperial system. They have PSI (lbf/in²) and mph (mi/h), where one has “p” for reciprocity (“/”) and another nothing. And imagine the chaos if other languages used imperial units and abbreviated them: see Wikidata for inch, including 100+ language versions
Yes, things change. No country used metric in medieval times, now It’s mostly just the US that refuses to. It’s their lack of experience that leads to abominations like “kph”, “sqm”, “kgf”, “cc” or “MFD” (micro? milli? megafarad?). Only minor updates have needed to be made to the metric system: most recently the kilogram is no longer based on a piece if metal in Paris but constants of the universe. Unless you’re weighing to 8+ significant figures, there is no difference. Meanwhile the US ton/metric ton (10%) and mile/nautical mile (15%) difference causes confusion somewhere every day.
㎤: Correct
㎖: Correct
㏄: Get the fuck out of here. Standards in physics over industry conventions.
(Yes, I’m using the single-character, CJK-fullwidth forms for cm³, ml, cc to achieve vertical alignment)
My god dude i don’t know where it came from but i had a very strong urge to yell nerd and take your lunch money.

I’m saying there is 0 chance the ones shown in the picture are 4000 cc. I’d believe they exist, but these ain’t them
That’s kind of hot

Counter point: ACAB includes language police.
Languages change… deal with it 😎.
