Wow, it's on the top of a lonely hill, it looks quite different from a bit further:
A second church, also dedicated to St Michael, was built of local sandstone in the 14th century by the Abbot Adam of Sodbury, incorporating the foundations of the previous building [...] St Michael's Church survived until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539 when, except for the tower, it was demolished
Robert Downey Jr. was nominated to Oscar in 1992, at the age of 27, he didn't win though. There was a joke about him in Simpsons in 1999, so he was already a well known name far before Iron Man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhjHVQsJOlo
His life is more like an example of how people can get back to the top after years of heavy drug abuse.
Martha Stewart wrote her first book at the age of 42, I would count that as the start of her career.
This chart is a bit confusing, sometimes it lists when people started a later flourishing business, sometime when they were at the top.
How do you syncronize it between multiple devices and operating systems?
Water is based on meter? They drank only wine in the dark middle ages, Lavoisier invented water, I knew it!
...
The point is your proposition doesn't make any sense, read the definitions of other units, not just meter, from the 2019 si standard. Lightsecond would become a nice round number, but e.g. 1 lightyear is 31557600 lightsecond so there you already have a strange number, but it's based on the rotation of Earth, a constant you cant redefine.
What would we get if we would switch to another arbitrary looking value? Also other units are based on other constants not just the speed of light, so at some conversion you would have to use similar strange numbers, you wouldn't solve your problem you would just move it to elsewhere.
And you rarely convert to lightyears, so the strange numbers are outside, and everyday units fit nicely together with base 10.
And 1 liter or dm3 of water is roughly 1 kg, so the original meter is actually based on the density of water. It's very convenient that you can convert between weight and length in your head.
It's a meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/americans-will-use-anything-except-the-metric-system
Example:
About redefining part, we have this arbitrary number: 1/299792458 and you basically want to change that? What would it help? I constantly use metric and imperial units concurrently, if you don't need accuracy for 19 decimal places it's not a big deal. 3 feet is 1 meter, 1 inch is 2.5 cm. 1 pound is 0.5 kg, The only one I can't calculate in my head that 1 mile is 1.6 km but if I need quickly then it's just 1.5. For everyday life this accuracy is good enough. I'm an engineer, not scientist.
This one does not work for me :)
Like, the light-nanosecond for distance
Americans would use anything but meter...
This record does not redefine anything, same thing just got more precise.

Civ 2 was such an improvement over the first one. I remember both playing and baking mods for it after I exhausted the base game. My second favorite in the series.
After the Apicalipse there was a website where you could see which instance de/federates with others, as a map. It's url was https://lemmymap.feddit.de/ but I guess it went down with feddit.de I found even a screenshot in a thread:
Currently with the instances button you can see defederation from one direction, but not from the other, e.g. if an instance is defederated by a lot others you can't see that easily.
Does something like this exist?

The background patterns are not totally random on this poster, they are based on actual roof tiles of buildings!
The top one is the MM-MG building of BME, Budapest University of Technology and Economics
The middle one is the Institute of Geology
