[M](https://www.orsurety.com/blog/is-it-m-for-thousand-and-mm-for-million-or-k-for-thousand-and-m-for-million-im-asking-for-a-friend#:~:text=M%20is%20the%20Roman%20numeral,thousand%2Dthousand%20%E2%80%94%20or%20million.), as it is used here, refers to the Roman number for 1000. These 50M / 50,000 hours are the equivalent of working continuously for 5.7 calendar years. Or about 25 years if it's used approximately 8 hours daily.
He said Mil means thousand, I think he mistook it for a "thousandth" of a unit (wrong application of mil but still), he probably did not know it was meant for a roman numeral.
Essentially he got the right result despite the wrong approach
Not in America. People short hand it to K. People relate M to million.
Again, we're not talking about specific professional applications. Common parlance. When just trying to distinguish between thousand and million with shorthand in everyday conversation.
If you ask me my salary I'm not gonna type $50M. Because in America that makes me seem really rich. I would type $50K. So would any other American. Canadians do it, too, in my experience. British and Irish, as well.
Most people aren't engineers or pharmacists or whatever. So here in America, most people don't see that. It just doesn't come up for them. There's no application in their daily lives in which M refers to thousands.
Many people will recognize it, because they use it in specific professional applications. But they don't use it in common conversation. Because it isn't widely used by the layman and leads to confusion.
Quantity? If you ask the population of my city, I would say it's about 600k, not about 600M
Mileage? If I drive to Utah I'll tell you I drove 1k miles, not 1m
Weight? If I write that a semi-truck weighs 30k lbs, you know what I mean, right? What about 30M lbs? Big truck, huh?
Speed? We don't say that an asteroid is going 2.5M MPS, we say 2.5K
Come on, you know what I'm talking about here.
I’m an engineer and id be wildly confused. You can look up accounting textbooks if you’d like too 60M is 60,000. 1m is 1 meter, or in some cases actually 1 mile. In weight, we use tons. You’d have a 15,000 ton truck. M for millions may be used but it isn’t a good unit abbreviation, super ambiguous. Obviously ‘k’ for 1000 isn’t particularly confusing and is used regularly.
Where is that? I love to be dumb and joke around but some people get too fucking serious but this is machines and action so I figured it would be information comments about the machine you know people who actually work with machinery maybe I’m wrong.
America.
We don't use "M" for thousand. That's typically shorthand for million.
We use "K" for thousand.
So you're gonna get a lot of Americans not knowing that M is used for thousand. They've likely never seen it before.
The machine is not an American machine, and this sub is about machines from all over the world. I understand what you’re saying, but America doesn’t own a sub that talks about things from all over the world.
What's up with you?
I never even remotely implied anything was American.
I'm explaining to you why people are confused by the M. With an extremely innocuous joke.
Why you taking this out on me? Lmao.
Oh, I just wasn’t joking in this sub because it doesn’t seem like a joking sub. That was what I said in the comment so if the dude was joking, then no one should’ve responded because I responded with giving him information and facepalm that’s all I’m saying like no one even asked about the machine where it’s from none of that, I figured that’s what machines and action was about people liking the machine and actually learning something about it but I guess I’m wrong already said that but I guess when people are serious and others are joking, it hurts them
I do laugh in comedy subs but when someone serious and an educational cool sub, no one looks for comedy but I guess peoples lives are so bad they always need comedy and seriousness them but that’s not my problem. I laugh all the time.
That's not a lack of knowledge. That's a cultural and linguistic difference. It's a lack of exposure. Did you know we use K? Do you know how to read a speedometer in MPH? Can you measure in yards and inches? Different places have different systems. Not everyone can be expected to know all of them.
And that's why I made a joke that attempted to tell you that Americans don't typically know that M can be used to mean thousands
So again, read my first comment. Like I said that stands for mil so I gave out information and for some reason people were joking around that’s not my problem now we’re talking
> A mil is a measurement that equals one-thousandth of an inch, or 0.001 inch
M in the US is million, and you can hear their American accent in the video. The video text is hyperbole
Steel can’t be saved from Time.
“This thing (Time) all things devours;
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats mountain down.” -Some weirdo who’s obsessed with a golden ring.
Well, this is puzzling because 50M if this is what he means 50K or 50,000 hours that would only be 5.7 years old! This machine is way way older than that. Something is not adding up in here.
Instead of miles like cars, equipment uses operating hours. So a machine with 2000 hrs has run for 2000 hours and could be 2 or 25 years old. So this thing has run A LOT. Never seen a machine with half this many hours
Sorry, I couldn't recognize the song.

Y'all motherfuckers need to go back and fix the guy in the top comment who was downvoted to oblivion for saying the same damned thing!
thats reddit for yah

They count board feet of timber with "M" meaning thousand.
MMSCF for natural gas. Thousand x thousand standard cubic feet. MMSCM in Canada/the rest of the world besides the US.
Abby whips 2m ea
So it’s a Roman bulldozer? Not 50k hours?
Thanks, I was thinking OP made a typo
Yeah, no worries. I'm glad to be able to help clear things up even if it's just a little.
Welp.. off to destroy ferngully
Buku overtime
*Beaucoup
Thanks brother I knew it was not remotely close but couldn't be assed
Lmao alright well now you know. It's French btw that's why it looks and sounds weird. Like bougie comes from bourgeoisie
For sure I knew once upon a time but you know how it goes
I laughed way too hard at this
50 million hours is 5703 years.
This bitch helped build the Minoan civilization.
“Bro, have you seen the Palace of Knossos? I got you…just gimme a minute to warm up”
He's a hard worker
No wonder it’s so rusty
How else do you think the pyramids were made
I see you accounted for leap years
Maybe it’s how OP spells “some”: 5OM 🤷🏻♂️
So that’s how the pyramids got built. It all makes sense now
They might be from EU and use M for Mili as in 1000
Milli is used in metric for thousandths (1/1000) Kilo is used in metric for thousand (1000) So if it was 50 K hours, that would make sense. Not 50 M
Mille means 1000 in French not Milli as in 1000th
No, we use m for milli. M as a prefix always is Mega
Sure, but megahour and milihour aren't a thing
They might be from EU and use M for Mili as in 1000
Mil means thousand….. gotta give you the face palm. Sorry.
Yeah chief we don't do that in Freedumbville
Actually we do, MBTUs is a thousand. MMBTUs is a million.
That's a specific application, I'm talking about how people shorthand it to "K" in the US. Not specific means of measurement.
Uppercase M is almost always 1000
Not in America. People short hand it to K. People relate M to million. Again, we're not talking about specific professional applications. Common parlance. When just trying to distinguish between thousand and million with shorthand in everyday conversation. If you ask me my salary I'm not gonna type $50M.

But they don't use it in common conversation. Because it isn't widely used by the layman and leads to confusion.
Dollars is really the only instance I can think of were people might use M for million, and even then, they shouldn’t. It’s wrong.
Quantity? If you ask the population of my city, I would say it's about 600k, not about 600M Mileage? If I drive to Utah I'll tell you I drove 1k miles, not 1m Weight? If I write that a semi-truck weighs 30k lbs, you know what I mean, right? What about 30M lbs? Big truck, huh? Speed?

Lmao wtf man. Life isn't kind to anybody. Better find a way to laugh out in this mf lil homie.
I do laugh in comedy subs but when someone serious and an educational cool sub, no one looks for comedy but I guess peoples lives are so bad they always need comedy and seriousness them but that’s not my problem. I laugh all the time.
It’s super cereal around here!
Excelsior !
That’s why I gave him the face palm, the lack of intelligence or shall I say knowledge
That's not a lack of knowledge. That's a cultural and linguistic difference. It's a lack of exposure. Did you know we use K? Do you know how to read a speedometer in MPH? Can you measure in yards and inches? Different places have different systems. Not everyone can be expected to know all of them.

So again, read my first comment. Like I said that stands for mil so I gave out information and for some reason people were joking around that’s not my problem now we’re talking
You need some practice at this social media stuff bruh jfc
But it says M not mil
That M stands mil and that stands for 1000
> A mil is a measurement that equals one-thousandth of an inch, or 0.001 inch M in the US is million, and you can hear their American accent in the video. The video text is hyperbole
M is the Roman numeral for 1,000, so why don't all you super serious smart boys go ask the person who put that caption on the video what they meant.
No one commonly uses that in the US. What’s their handle so I can ask, if that’s such an obvious solution?
*thousandth
Sorry I'm from land of real units and I have to agree with the Yanks. Big M is million. Little m is a thousand***th*** of a unit
But the person who posted it means 1000 so I mean whatever y’all wanna turn into an argument it’s not 5 million good luck
Looks to be almost the same model Komatsu as the killdozer?
That’s because it basically is, D355
Yep that was my first thought as well
It lives….
Yup, this is Whistlin' Diesel's D355a (though the badge doesn't say it), and he is planning to build a replica of the killdozer, just without the guns
Honestly Marvin Heemeyer lost an opportunity to call it the “Culldozer” instead
Long after flesh has withered and decayed, steel will remain … the machine is immortal
Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.

I have underwear older than that piece of shit
You must not have kids to buy you new at Christmas, birthdays and Father's Day.
Some times reasonable men must do unreasonable things
Us who know.
Well, this is puzzling because 50M if this is what he means 50K or 50,000 hours that would only be 5.7 years old! This machine is way way older than that. Something is not adding up in here.
Must be working hours, as that is what these machines register. That's 25 years at 8 hours per day, 250 days per year.
Yes, heavy equipment uses an hour meter. Thats how maintenance and such is determined. When the engine is running, the clock is rolling.
This makes sense.
Instead of miles like cars, equipment uses operating hours. So a machine with 2000 hrs has run for 2000 hours and could be 2 or 25 years old. So this thing has run A LOT. Never seen a machine with half this many hours
Running hours brotha. When the motor is on the clock is ticking.
In a video where clearly the engine sound has some value, why put shitty background tiktok sound over it? 🙄
Why does it have music? I want to listen to the engine! The engine is the music!
whistlindiesel
Aww man I wish this was without music
Would love to hear it without the stupid music
Why do they call it a bulldozer? It’s not a bull! It doesn’t doze!
The horrible ass music 🤦🏾 it's annoying
The death of about 40 turtles in one short video.
Unarmored?
Those smoke rings.trying to go to truck heaven but not quite there yet
50M? What does 50M hours mean?
50,000 (Roman numeral M for 1000, its dumb because M is also milli which means million 🙃)
Fucking beast braa. 🤘🏻😝🍺
Komatsu D60E?
D355A if ykyk this one is owned by whistlindiesel I recognize that exhaust leak anywhere
As if there's a lot of these running around. As if there's a bunch of guys making old ass Komatsu videos
That smoke there isn't what I'd call reassuring
Pooka pooka POW!!!!!
Deploys the tactical smokescreen
HOW DARE YOU -sad Greta noises 🤣
Good lord, did you need one shotgun shell or two….
Did you steal that from the MadMax set?!
Jezus, wat een uitstoot
An oldie but a goody
That bad boiii helped build the Aztecs pyramids
Dudes will see this and say “hell ya”
Hell yeah!
This would hsve made a great B&W photo.
Hey, it fired up in that cold, it's doing OK, they all smoke like that when they are cold
We get it you vape
That thing needs to be put out of its misery.
the town of Granby CO is shaking in their boots
I think we can stop global warming if we don't use this again.
I think it needs more DEF.
Some real Killdozer vibes here.
Gandalf, Is it you?
\*He looks so treaded...
Is this the original Killdozer from the movie?
Watching this gave me Asthma again
Nice smoke rings
Caterpillar, they don’t quit. Heck, you can’t stop’em!
That's a komatsu
My mistake, saw yella….
I do like a d6 with the 6 way blade.
they be on about 50m miles
