If we somehow discovered a supernova (or anything, really) beyond the observable universe, I believe the astronomers would be very very happy.

You know how the sun radiates an incredible amount of power through millions and millions of tonnes of material undergoing nuclear fusion every minute, and the sun is expected to last for millions of years?
Well, not that much. But it's still a lot!
My graph has a new peak as soon as I walk outside on slippery ground and am terrified of falling.
Or the 120 grit sandpaper some offices use.
Its a nice idea which probably has a lot of complex implications. It would probably be a huge pain to figure out dimensions and compatible electric motors for every brand of non-electric vehicle, so the production of replacements would become very wide. Typically, the battery of an EV isn't just a brick in the engine room, but it's a whole range of cells along the length of the vehicle. Using the same space as the combustion engine might leave you with a vehicle with terrible range. Also, the safety of a car takes the engine into account. Replacing a combustion engine with an electrical engine would likely require a whole new safety overview for each individual model.
I honestly really hope that your suggestion would work, but I'm not expecting to see this becoming a wide solution before EVs dominate the market anyway.
We need the incrementally more eco-friendly options as well. Most pickup truck driving office workers won't suddenly get a bike and change their ways, so a more eco friendly personal vehicle is probably a lot more likely to reduce emissions for that demography.
One of the typical arguments is selling ancestry history to insurance companies, effectively handing them health data which could lead to up-pricing or rejections for customers with bad health history.
I think that the best argument is that it makes sense when combined with hours minutes and seconds.

Goes from large to small units.
Yep, I'm just shouting out my country because it checks the boxes.
It's a country which isn't usually far behind to receive technology, but for some EU/EEA-reason, Steam doesn't really have Norway on the list of countries to include for physical products.
Also, we have a few third-party sellers with 50-100% markup, which is lovely.
But I'm sure it's similar elsewhere.
Norway?
0 is very cold, 100 is very hot. So 50 is perfect room temperature, right?
Nope, you still have to adjust to an arbitary selection of numbers within that range, so it's not really any more helpful than celcius if you don't have experience with the scale.
