Cybertronian Units of Time

I damn near had an aneurysm trying to figure this out, so first lemme preface it--I headcanon that Cybertron's planet orbits and rotates at a much, much slower rate than earth, which gives Cybertronians a different value of time as a whole. They find comfort in that they have so much of it, and so they don't value it nearly as much as we humans do. In short, they're incredibly bad procrastinators lol.

They value their age in terms of 'vorns'. A stellar cycle is the time it takes for their planet to make a round around the sun.

Anyways, here's the time units I'm using for Mad Bird whenever I reference them. (otherwise I'll mainly be using human references)

Nano-Klik = 1/100th of a klik (4.98 seconds ~ *reasoning* 4.98 * 100 = 498 s and 498 s / 60 s = 8.3 mins) – cybertronian second

Klik = 8.3 mins – cybertronian minute

Mega-klik = 50 kliks (415 mins ~ 6.9 hrs) – cybertronian half hour

Joor = 100 kliks (830 mins ~ 13.8 hrs) – cybertronian hour

Cycle = 1,000 kliks ~ 10 Joors (8300 mins ~ 5.76 days) – cybertronian day

Mega-Cycle = 5,000 kliks ~ 5 Cycles (41500 mins ~ 28 days ~ 4.12 weeks) – cybertronian week

Quartax = 15,000 kliks ~ 3 Mega-Cycles (124500 mins ~ 12.35 weeks ~ 2.84 months) – cybertronian quarter-month

Orn = 60,000 kliks ~ 4 Quartaxes (498,000 mins ~ 49.4 weeks ~ 11.4 months) – cybertronian month

Stellar Cycle = 600,000 kliks ~ 10 Orns (4,980,000 mins ~ 113.7 months ~ 9.5 years) – cybertronian year

Vorn = 100 Stellar Cycles (498,000,000 mins ~ 947.5 years) – cybertronian century

They will destroy nature and call it saving the planet.

The Killer

So I was hanging out with some friends last night, and for whatever reason, we got onto the subject of whether or not we sleep with the bedroom door closed. Apparently it's safer in case of fires? But it turns out that most of my friends keep their bedroom door closed because of concerns about The Killer, aka, a person breaking into their house at night with the express intention of murdering them.

For the purposes of this poll, "I share a house/apartment" is for situations where you have your own bedroom, but there are other people living with you; "I share a bedroom" is for situations where there is another person sleeping in the same room.

the image is from an article on skin color measurement in regards to oximetry readings, it was the best I could find as far as having a decent range but a small enough number to fit in a poll
