Standard Sister-in-Law Unit (SSILU) [300lbs]

Standard Sister-in-Law Unit
noun
*| \ ˈsta-ndərd ˈsi-stər-in-ˌlȯ yü-nət *
Abbreviation: SSILU
Symbol: 𝓢 or SIL

Definition:
An unofficial unit of mass equal to 300 pounds (136.08 kilograms), used to simulate high-risk, real-world human load scenarios in mechanical, structural, and transportation systems. The SSILU is commonly applied to test the failure thresholds of furniture, vehicle seats, elevators, bicycles, airline cabins, and public patience.

Etymology:
Originated in post-war American slang, the term is derived from the stereotype of a loud, heavyset female relative—often portrayed as emotionally volatile and structurally compromising—whose presence tests both family dynamics and infrastructure load-bearing capacity. While non-literal, the “sister-in-law” archetype evokes maximum physical and psychological mass concentration in civilian environments.

Technical Classification:
Measurement Type: Anthropomorphic Load Unit

Mass: 300 lbs (≈ 136.08 kg)

Field Use: Structural stress testing, emergency engineering simulation

Design Benchmark: Most consumer goods are not rated past 0.8 SSILU

Pokemon Unite

The game that you bought only because it has pokemon in it (or it lasts for 10m) and where new pokemon are broken as hell (zacian and mewtwo lmao) while your teammates never come to objectives and steal your jungle

Surprisingly less toxic than league until you face a 45% win rate random who made it to masters and is now on your team.

Please check the stats the item affects (no attack weight isnt good on gardevoir, choice specs on cinderace what?, and ofc cant forget potion charizard)

me: I love playing Pokemon Unite, my jungle just got stolen! This 10m is gonna be so much fun
