0 lbs/lg = Absense of weight.

0 inches/centimeters = Absence of size.

0 Kelvin = Absence of heat.

If something is 0lbs, 0 inches and 0 Kelvin: does it even exist? ๐Ÿค”

0lbs is absence of weight, 0kg is absence of mass. Terrestrials, smdh...

When avoirdupois pounds and pounds-force are used together I'm pretty sure it's more common to use 'lb' for avoirdupois pounds and 'lbf' for pounds-force.
