Basic unit: meter
Basic unit: second
Basic speed meter/s
ok
1000× basic speed = km/s
1000x basic length: km
makes sense.
basic force: 1 newton
1 newton per m^2 = masic unit pascal.
But because the french got offended once, we ruin the entire system and make a basic unit of weight to be a kilogram.
The entire multiplication system is off by a factor of 1000 for no reason. 
Not to mention, that the basic weight shoult be meter ^3 of water instead of dm^3 of water, so the basic unit should have weighted a ton.
@LukeAlmighty @fp kilogram is the logarithmic average between cm³ (g) and m³ (Mg/ton).
@chuculate @fp@fuwa.pink
Yes. A dm^3 of water is 1kg (a result of size skip), While a ton of water fits m^3 of volume.
Were you trying to prove a point?
