Cybertronian Units of Time: a Guide

…concocted by me, via:

Canon Definitions

Most Common Terms Used in Fandom (that I have seen)

Most Common Interpretations of Aforementioned Terms

Math That Makes Those Terms Make Sense Together

Filling in the Blanks With What Sounded Good (to me)

So essentially I began with Cybertronian units with explicit definitions in canon that are also widely used in fandom (ie. Vorn = 83 years, Joor = 6 hours, Groon = 1 hour). I then worked my way out from those and tried to keep to rough factors of 6/8/10.

Some terms that did have explicit canon definitions had to be slightly skewed from their value (ie. Breem: 8 → 6 minutes, Klik: 8 → 6 seconds) if their definition contradicted another definition that made more sense/fit better. 

At any rate, obviously no one is obligated to use this standard, but canon Transformers content has been unfortunately… awful at establishing any universal units of time, their relationship to each other, or their equivalents to human units of time.

So this occasionally makes fanfiction an absolute nightmare for people like me with a crap memory who don’t want to constantly have to scroll through a thousand pages of the wiki to remind themselves what the hell a groon is.

So, naturally, I simply spent far too long whipping up this at-a-glance guide to keep track of it & on the off chance that the fandom might adopt it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

(PLEASE REBLOG THIS IF YOU LIKE IT SO THAT MORE FANS CAN SEE IT!)

For anybody not caught up: Tennessee just passed a new map that pretty much makes it so black neighborhoods have no power in local votes. Two things about this. While protestors were chanting "No Jim Crow", white Tennessee lawmakers were caught laughing on video. On top of this, Representative Justin Pearson and his brother KeShaun Pearson were arrested for trying to give their takes on the matter (which is not only their legal right but literally his job). If you give a shit about black people, help fight this. We can't allow a return to Jim Crow.

i think it's important to acknowledge that the reason why mastercard/visa has such a stranglehold on american society is because cash is not the main form of payment in the usa. the predominance of card has effectively privatized currency

in japan, one of the reasons why dlsite and other similar websites are able to just remove visa as a payment option instead of changing any of their merchandise (aside from the fact that visa doesn't have a monopoly here) is because cash payments for online transactions remain an option. even if you don't have a jcb credit card or paypay or whatever, you can still pay for your online purchases using cash by taking your barcode to a convenience store, and you can do this for essentially every online vendor, meaning credit card companies can't just impose their moral judgments on your purchases with much repercussion

[goth-princess-gwennie]

How does that barcode system work? I've never heard of something like that.

[yandere-angela]

1. you add whatever porn games or movies or books you want to your cart and go to checkout

2. you select cash payment at conbini as your payment method

3. youre emailed a barcode that you take to the conbini

4. you show it to the cashier, they scan it, and you pay what you owe. note that the cashier does not see what youre buying

and the transaction is complete

in Brazil we have Pix, a form of payment that is incredibly easy and free to make from any bank to any bank, usually done by mobile app, and so online payments are being done more and more by pix. it was created only a few years ago and it caught on like fire because its cheaper than cards (since you don't have to pay visa or Mastercard to use it)

This year trump is pressuring Brazil to destroy Pix. It won't happen, of course, but the very idea that a foreign country can try to pressure us into making all our financial transactions through companies from their country pisses me off. Pix is superior to credit cards in every single way, but right now I'm just glad we still have payment options even when credit card companies are being obtuse. pity the US doesn't have anything like that, and so we are all subject to bullying by credit card companies

re that last reblog i truly don’t think we r gonna get any progression as a society until we can talk about how bad the transatlantic slave trade was like so much of so many issues across the globe r directly bc of what was allowed to happen

1000% correct. and it isn't the userbase being 70% white, it's that they act aggressively disgusted and angry if anyone even mentions blackness and black culture or that racism and white privilege exist. If you so much as insinuate that one white woman posted something racist they will relentlessly dogpile and gangstalk you. Remember that blackout day started by black tumblr desperately BEGGING white people to post/rb black people once a year. But in response, people said "no, black people aren't aesthetic enough for my theme" or "no, you're being too political and black people are too serious a subject to post" but then they would make 1000 posts about how being trans is worse than racism. and if you even mention rap or r&b or hip-hop on here people will lose their damn minds. Every black woman I used to follow was either chased off the site, caved from the constant misogynoirism and hostility, or were so ignored by their "friends" that they left.

[folly-of-alexandria]

Do not forget the ban waves that occurred in 2016 and again in 2020 that purged large numbers of black users off of the site.

STOP SCROLLING. MY SISTER MAY DIE.

I am sitting beside her, watching her breaths grow weaker with every passing moment, feeling helpless as I try to comfort her while she silently suffers from anemia and severe malnutrition.

[zinaanqar07]

Today we ran out of enough food and medicine, and I have no money left to provide them. I never imagined I would have to beg strangers to help me care for my sister.

[zinaanqar07]

Every day without treatment makes her condition worse, and I am terrified that I am watching her slowly slip away from me, until I might lose her. Please donate now—your kindness could help my sister receive the treatment she desperately needs.

like straight men know they r harming and neglecting and preying on women bc they dont treat other men that way 😭 they dont “just try to be friends” with random guys at the grocery store… they dont follow other men to their cars at night in hopes of getting their phone numbers….they dont offer to buy random guys drinks hopes of intoxicating them enough to fuck…they don’t invite their guy friends out to eat with the only intention of getting sex after bc of seeing the interaction as transactional, i promise they know they r being shitty 2 women…and they like 2 do it specifically bc they r doing it to women

[coffeepeople]

I know it goes against everything we've ever been taught, but we do need to put in the work to realize that being ugly is...completely fine. like entirely neutral. so is being conventionally attractive. neutral. not just for other people, but for ourselves. you need to be able to look at yourself and see what you perceive to be physical flaws and go "this is okay, this is the least important part of who I am." It's so beyond okay and normal and fine to be ugly. And I know! Easier said than done. But I do genuinely believe that freedom from looking into the mirror and hating yourself is a worthy goal. Freedom from judging a person immediately based off of their appearance is a worthy goal. Freedom from buying the thousands of products they try and tell you will make you perfect, as if that should be the aim and goal, is a worthy goal.

My least favorite new politically correct term is "unhoused." Like you can just tell it was created to make liberals feel less icky when talking about homeless people.

I was homeless. I was homeless as a child and as an adult. That shit sucks believe it or not.

The uncertainty. The ever-present grimy feeling from lack of access to running water. Having nothing to your name. The shame you feel is asking your fellow man for the bare minimum. Just so much shame, man.

"Unhoused" is so clinical. A technical term. Sure, its not incorrect, but it doesn't properly convey the emotional and psychological impact homelessness has on you.

You say "house", I think of a structure.

You say "home", I think of stability.
