Nope. Household use in Europe is Gramm “g” and Kilogramm “kg” (often shortened to just “Kilo”). Maybe Ton “t” (metric ones, of course) if you are handling large loads like building materials, but nobody uses Megagramm “Mg”. Likewise with Gigagramm “Gg”, where one uses Kiloton “kt”. Not really SI, but still with the same conversion factors.
Going down from the Gramm, people use the Milligramm “mg”, often used in pharmacy related context.
Some Austrians (especially the older ones) still use Dekagramm “dg” or Deka, primarily in cooking and baking, but these are the only outliers. Anything else is just factor 1000 for each step.
Much easier than cups, ounces, pounds, and buttloads.
Heavily depends on the use case.
Yeah, sometime you use grams, or dekagrams, or hectograms
Or Megagrams and Gigagrams if you want to go bigger.
