The bf & gf are 1.222x10^35 and 9.842×10^34 planck lengths, respectively.

[–] probablymissing@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

god i hate the metric system. how much is that in hours?

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Depends how big the circle is, one hour is 15 degrees, but we can't convert degrees to length without the radius.

Or in better American heavy hours.

I can give it to you in c*h if you want...

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 15 points 2 days ago
[–] geissi@feddit.org 62 points 2 days ago

They're both about 0 AU, so I don't really see the problem.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago

She was as tall as a 7 year old Norwegian pine sapling exposed to ideal soil and water conditions and he was as tall as a female giraffe's asshole.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's very tall and she's pretty short, both with regards to average for their gender.

Tap for spoiler6'5" is about 1.95m 5'2" is about 1.52m

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

You know, I have always used feet to measure height, but somehow seeing the difference in meters is significantly more eye opening as to just how insanely different those heights are.

Edit: Although I think you might have meant 1.57 for 5'2" 😅

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Metres

A meter measures something, a metre is a unit of measurement.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

If you're gonna be a pedant, at least be right about it 😝

While true in some cases, that's entirely region dependent.

[–] CtrlAltDelight@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Actually they represent the same distance, the different spellings are just regional. See center vs centre.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Americans use meter but they don't use the unit so we can say it's wrong.

[–] CtrlAltDelight@lemmy.zip 1 points 23 hours ago

Mmm I like this actually, yes I'm on board

[–] MrChewy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Isn't the metremeter the thing that measures stuff?

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

These are real units.
One is 6 minutes, 5 seconds and the other is 5 minutes, 2 seconds.

[–] Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 32 points 2 days ago

About 192cm vs 155cm

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

1/46 and 1/58 of an american football field?

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

She was 8 bananas, he was 10.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Okay, he was 6'5" and she was 5'2".

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

he was 1/5th taller

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Use your superior education that you got in your non-US country and do the math. Yeah the units are stupid and Americans are uneducated. But we can at least do the conversions.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've gone on this tirade plenty of times, but inches aren't stupid. 12 inches to a foot makes a lot of sense for problems we've had to solve for millennia, because it's 3 times a power of two. For things like woodoworking it actually makes more sense than the metric system.

"But 10 deciliters in a liter" Using a tape measure, mark out 1/3rd of the thickness of a standard 19mm sheet of plywood. I'll be over here doing the same with 3/4" plywood by marking at 1/4".

Maybe we shouldn't be selling Europe any weapons that work.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I honestly wish we used metric in the US.

What always cracks me up, are people not from the US who whine about our units, and demand that they be translated into their comfort units, which doesn't make them look smart, it makes them look like they can't do math as well as a teenager in the US.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 2 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I use metric all the time in the US. My 3D printer runs in millimeters and Celsius, I buy Pepsi by the liter, I dose every medicine by the gram, I meter electricity by the kilowatt and my lights are rated in lumens.

What I don't do is this weird sense of superiority found in cultivated ignorance the Europeans seem so fond of on the subject.

[–] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

Yup that's my issue. We used metric all the time in the US. But you don't ever see us bitching about units in an internet comment.

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago

But we can at least do the conversions.

And he usually doesn't need to, since the civilised word is using metric system.

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago

I can't count past ten either. Little help!
