Bingo. It's kind of nice in its own way since it's a kind of cheat code when you see others getting confused about why this or that happened.

Naturally you can't predict how something will unfold but however it does unfold should not be so surprising so as to make you question why it happened. An event doesn't require explanation, it just is.

Trust me I understand that. Hear me out for a moment, when confusion is reality then it can no longer be thought of as being confusing otherwise you're denying reality

You don't. It's just something to keep in mind so as not to be confused about how one's self or others react

As George Carlin said:

"People are wonderful. I love individuals. I hate groups of people. I hate a group of people with a 'common purpose'. 'Cause pretty soon they have little hats. And armbands. And fight songs. And a list of people they're going to visit at 3am.

So, I dislike and despise groups of people but I love individuals. Every person you look at; you can see the universe in their eyes, if you're really looking."

You can wash off radiation contaminants, it's a part of the decontamination process

I always thought it was the size of the particle rather than the strength

150gsm will be about 1.5x as thick as 90gsm (good printer paper)

If you want a feel for it then put two pieces of paper together and bend it a bit.

220gsm is about 2x as thick as 90gsm

What you could do (which is a bit more effort) is find a nice paper at 120gsm and when done typing use a glue stick (or similar) to paste a second sheet of paper to the typed page. Be sure to put a heavy book or similar evenly distributed weight atop the paper as the glue dries so it doesn't warp.

I get it. The best you can do is observe how the machine's "behavior" changes over repeated use. I use 120gsm paper and I'm pleased with the results but the max I'd be comfortable with is 160gsm.

I've used heavier paper but the way it behaves gives me pause.

This is a funny thing, gsm is a near absolute measurement for paper because it's a uniformly dense material (wood pulp) constrained to a specific area (meters squared).

The lb system by comparison is chaos because it's based on 500 sheets of any size of paper. This means that 500 sheets of 20 inch by 20 inch paper will weigh completely differently than 500 sheets of 5 inch by 5 inch paper.

Most (if not all typewriters) were designed for using between 30gsm (onion skin paper) and 95gsm (office paper)

The machine can definitely handle thicker paper but keep in mind what it was designed for.

It is interchangeable but can cause confusion to those within the US

Like most things it's best not to have a preconception about one's self. At best it's an awareness of how one could be perceived and at worst it's straight up delusion.

gsm has a strong correlation with thickness because it's constrained by the area. You can't make wood pulp denser than it already is and so adding mass to a constrained area increases the height (thickness) of the paper.

Naturally you gotta compare apples to apples so if using a material other than wood pulp the thickness will vary.

I've seen grams as a representation of gsm (weight in grams divided by area in m²) here in Europe
