What next you are going to ask how many inches in a mile? Those are two units that aren’t used in the same context. I’d be like if I asked you how many seconds are in a year. Or if asked you how big a notebook is in kilometers, rather than in centimeters.
A hybrid system really isn’t as wild of a concept as it sounds. We already just use conventional time keeping, metric is largely forgotten because of how unhelpful it was. metrictime.info
Doesn’t mean you have to take all of the weird units and conversions from imperial but it means to cherry pick the best of both worlds so we have a system that just works with what real people use it for.

1l of (4°C) water weighs 1kg. 1kg (of anything) is 1000g. 1g of water is 1cm³. Stack 1000 1cm³ blocks to get a 10m high column. This column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second. And to heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal.
See, kcal is not a metric unit. But noone cares, because its relationship to other units still contains meaningfull information about physical reality. In metric you get knowledge for free. Meanwhile if you convert feet to miles, you get 5,280, for some reason.
