Wait a minute, I know her, that’s the woman who’s responsible for causing all the problem in my life!
I’ll bet she’s posting something really dumb on the Internet right now.
You

It bothers me that the height chart suggests there are 10 inches in a foot
lancecobra@lemmy.world 7 months ago
What about the fact that 4 feet is ankle height yet his entire torso is only 1 foot tall?
Maven@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Oh god I didn’t even notice that
TalesFromTheKitchen@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
I just had to look it up, you guys really don’t have it easy with your measurements. Miles, Yard, foot, inch and nothing matches up.
Liz@midwest.social 7 months ago
And yet every time we suggest switching to metric the very vocal minority claims it’s all actually very easy and switching wouldn’t be worth the hassle anyway. We’d actually save money if we switched to metric, by reducing the number of errors caused by bad measurements, but whatever, kermudgeons gonna kermudgeon.

So it’s all super weird, but not as hard as it sounds. How often do you need to convert between feet and miles anyways? We don’t really use yards for anything, converting between inches and feet is the length conversion that’s obnoxious
It’s very human though, they apparently picked a giant when they standardized it… It still roughly works
An inch is the last joint on your thumb, a foot is your foot length, a yard is a stride (one step with each foot), a mile is 1k strides.
It takes 20 minutes to walk a mile at a normal pace, a healthy person can consistently travel about 20 miles in a day. 10k steps is 5 miles, the somewhat arbitrary goal we picked for pedometers.
It’s weird, but it feels very natural when talking about the physical world around you. It’s a great measure of distance, but it’s not a good measure of length

I was at a track meet once and the lady running high jump was doing a horrible job. She was finally figuring out what she was doing and said : OK, we got this. Next height will be 5’12"
Liz@midwest.social 7 months ago
This lady is one of the many reasons we need metric.
MyNamesNotRobert@lemmynsfw.com 7 months ago
Shrinkflation came for the imperial system, I’m afraid. 10 inches is the new metric foot.

Holy shit, I’m white?! I can go jogging!
trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 7 months ago
By being white you are actually contractually bound to go jogging by blood
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 7 months ago
As a white person, I feel the need to arbitrate these contractual obligations and negotiate more favorable terms.

Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 7 months ago
This makes me think of a friend’s child years ago, who was going around asking all the adults, “how tall are you for your height?”
Which was met with confusion, and the child asking more and more emphatically. I think what the kid was trying to get at was, “are you tall for your age?”.

This couldn’t be me, I have been born -1 times
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 7 months ago
As a magnitude, that is equivalent.
empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 months ago
This begs the question. Is the number of times you have been born a signed or unsigned integer?
Hell, why are we even assuming it’s an integer. What’s to say you weren’t born 0.331517718 times?
dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Im sorry but -1 is null so technically you don’t exist right now
