Thorry@feddit.org 3 weeks agoI hate to break it to you, but when someone states anything in metric, I immediately have a feel for how large that is. That’s because we usually state everything in metric, so we don’t need to refer to random stuff and just learn the sizes of everything.

And yet I still have no idea how big the squid is. Buses range in size dramatically.

So do large pizzas.

How much is that in football fields?
cenzorrll@piefed.ca 3 weeks ago
About a 200th of a football field.

No they don’t? And we can see the proportions.

A “school bus” can be a local mini that’s like 8-10?m long, or a medium like 15-metre one. A “school bus” (as it would be near me) can also be an articulated main route bus that has three high schools and a major university on both ends of the corridor, at like 30 metres long.
Ditto pizzas. A “large” is such an arbitrary measurement.

It says bus-sized, and it’s long. That makes it a standard bus, not a short bus. And we can assume it’s not a city bus, because it says school bus. It’s pretty clear what the approximate size is.
