  Sorry thats 1.8E9nm tall and 8.5 stone. Hope thats easier for you to understand

    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.

      1.8 nm is kinda short

        Well, as the „n“ just stands for „E-9“ it really just says 1.8 m

        1.8e9nm means 1.8*10^9nm, which is 1.8m.

    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.

  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.

    You guys crashed a probe into Mars the last time you tried to use metric.

    source

    • captainlezbian@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      And yet you insist we keep trying. For shame. What other celestial bodies do you want us to crash into?

        Alpha Centauri

      That was one of the times we bothered you.

      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

  For you guys, he’s about 5.11 liters tall.

  Pretty sure you should blame the British.

  source

  • starman2112@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨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

    source

    • fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨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

  Because it makes other countries mad using our freedom units

  5’11" = 180cm

  120lbs = 54.4Kg

  For all those who prefer normal measurements lol

  source
• captainlezbian@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  It’s 180cm
