Comment on Anon compares himself to his brother

Why can’t Americans just be normal and use the metric system rather than some shit like 5’11 120 lbs? What the heck is that
bhamlin@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I’ll help explain:
5’11 is like 9’11 and describes the sidereal period when he was born.
The lbs in 120 lbs is for Likable Behavior Scale units. He’s just saying his brother scored very high and is very likable.

The truth is that all Americans are comfortable with the metric system but we still use Imperial when we know it will bother you.
maynarkh@feddit.nl 10 months ago
You guys crashed a probe into Mars the last time you tried to use metric.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 months ago
And yet you insist we keep trying. For shame. What other celestial bodies do you want us to crash into?
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Alpha Centauri
matthewmercury@reddthat.com 10 months ago
That was one of the times we bothered you.
MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 10 months ago
And that’s why Imperial is better, Metric just crashes spacecraft into planets.

Yeah but the time before that we put a man on the moon with it
We need to stick to imperial for the sake of balance
MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 10 months ago
For you guys, he’s about 5.11 liters tall.

Pretty sure you should blame the British.
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Blame the British, both for inventing the system and for being so insufferable that we refused to change to metric along with them
fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 10 months ago
They didn’t fully switch. The chart of measurements used by the British is very… random.

It’s too late for us, once the end comes and we’ve split into multiple countries we’ll finally have the opportunity for genuine reform
moon@lemmy.cafe 10 months ago
Because it makes other countries mad using our freedom units
FrankTheHealer@lemmy.world 10 months ago
5’11" = 180cm
120lbs = 54.4Kg
For all those who prefer normal measurements lol
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s 180cm

Sorry thats 1.8E9nm tall and 8.5 stone. Hope thats easier for you to understand
Sekoia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
The stone isn’t since it’s not metric but the height legitimately is since I can just drop the e9 and get a reasonable height.
Since, yknow, metric makes sense.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 10 months ago
1.8 nm is kinda short
frosch@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Well, as the „n“ just stands for „E-9“ it really just says 1.8 m
sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
1.8e9nm means 1.8*10^9nm, which is 1.8m.

Not if the girlfriend is an ant
Aqarius@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s funny, you try and be intentionally obtuse with the nano units, except doing it in metric doesn’t work since “1.8” is still there.

Thanks, the nm were useful
