Millisecond

A millisecond is the unit of time that you experience while waiting for your slowpoke friend to finish their meal.

It is also the length of time it takes for your cat to decide whether or not they actually want to be petted.

In scientific terms, a millisecond is one thousandth of a second. But who cares about that, right? We prefer the more relatable definition.

If you’re ever feeling bored, try counting millisecond by millisecond until you reach a full second. We bet you’ll lose track after the first few hundred.

Overall, the millisecond is a fantastically useful unit of time. It allows us to accurately measure tiny moments, like the time it takes for a fly to land on your nose, and provides endless opportunities for comedic timing. Don’t believe us? Just wait a millisecond and we’ll prove it.
