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

    source

    • PapaStevesy@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

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

        Maybe they want light hours.

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

  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.

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

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

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

  Tap for spoiler

  6’5" is about 1.95m 5’2" is about 1.52m

    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.

      Metres

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

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

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

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

        Isn’t the metremeter the thing that measures stuff?

  He is 19.5 hands tall. She is 15.5 hands tall.

    I’d say he’s about 0.0864 of a brontosaurus.

  Okay, he was 6’5" and she was 5’2".

  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.

  • FelixCress@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    But we can at least do the conversions.

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

  • captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    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.

      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.

      source

      • captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        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.
