    This got me thinking if we defined the metre to be a more round number, like 1⁄300000000.

    It would shrink the metre by 0.6918mm.

    Now I’m curious about what implications that would have.

      π would be equal 3. /s

      Seriously, any metric unit of a quantity involving the dimension “length” would also change its value slightly.
