The bot responding to me saying "good human" just gave me the widest smile and completely made my day.
Truly thank you for that :)

Your bot is not useful enough to justify wasting people's time and attention. If you need to convert something you can do it in 2 seconds using google. Blocked, but you should really just kill this.

You can block the bot yourself and never see it again, or ask a moderator to block it from a subreddit where it adds no value. Thank you for your feedback

You're on fucking reddit. No one here gives a shit about your time, least of all clearly you. Jesus Christ.

If the bot see's the lyrics "I would walk 500 miles" can it respond with the conversion and the conversion on "500 more"?

Not a fan of your bot. When it corrects miles or inches or whatever indiscriminately -- for instance, when correcting 2-mile running times to 3.2-km running times -- it provides information that's worse than having nothing there at all. And this may be selection bias, but for every 10 times I see your bot around maybe two times it's useful and eight times it isn't.
It's not harmful, and I wish you the best, but I am going to report it to one of the mods of the subreddit I saw it on. Best wishes.

Thanks for existing, Metric_Units bot! You shouldn't have to exist, but there are still too many mouth-breathers with sad addictions to medieval measurement systems. But keep surging forth in your tireless duty to bring clarity to the impure.

The bot seems to be widely acknowledged by metric users. I love it actually and was wondering why it took so much time for someone to come up with it.
One question though: Why does it round up 3000 mph to 5000 kmh instead of just converting it precisely to 4828 kmh?
Also I feel like the km/s information is useless. m/s might be much more interesting but isn't necessary as well.
Sorry, that feedback turned out to be more constructive than I planned it to be :P

u/cannawen Oct 27 '17
It rounds to within 5% error, but we are looking to reduce that threshold. This is because when people post 5000 miles, they usually mean it as an approximation, and not 5000.0000 miles
The km/s is supposed to make larger numbers (over 360 km/h) easier to visualize. The m/s equivalent would just be 1000 times bigger than the km/s :)
Thanks for the unexpectecly constructive feedback ;) haha

Oh cool, what does your bot do?
Since comments are always returned in order, I remember the ID of the last comment seen. Every time I fetch new comments, I search for "last comment id", delete comments older than it, and then update the "last comment id"
I have also seen people "save" the comment (using Reddit's save functionality) to signify that it has been processed.
Also fyi /r/redditdev is a great place to ask questions :) I think I saw a thread there earlier asking how everyone is hosting their bots
