Okay but what about the off chance you’re measuring something other than water?

But it turns out that water is a pretty good bet most of the time:
- Settled snow is around 0.25
- Dried wood is around 0.5
- Soil is around 1.2
- Rock is around 2.5
Which is pretty good if you want to answer "how much does that truck / ship / mountain / lake weigh?".
Of course there are some anomalies: Tungsten is around 20, but it's not like imperial units help here, and the name literally translates to "heavy rock".
