    I need Carlos to hold a banana for scale … who knows … Carlos could be a dwarf … or a ten foot giant.

      Or a giant dwarf!

        Never seen this applied to South America before. Pretty sure they’d be just as pissed off if you called them Americans as Canadians are if you call them Americans, even if America is in their continents name.

      Of course you don’t get giant turtles that small

      source
  • SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Is that a standard Carlos, or an imperial Carlos?

    source
    • 3laws@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Given that South America has a greater native genetic pool but still mixed genealogy, International Standard would be adept.

    I’m not good with car sizes, how many Dr Pepper is that ?

      It’s the size of a small boulder.

      Thank you!

      So why did it say Carlos? Just to make a joke on ‘car’?

      source
      • JokeDeity@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Racism.

        source
      • parody@lemmings.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Hmmm

        Take concept of e.g. “Edda van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston” -> Audrey Hepburn…

        Add “stereotyping”…

        ¡Hola Carlos!

        source
  • Zacryon@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Idk… is Carlos an SI-compatible unit? Because if not, this could be any size. Maybe he is a dwarf, maybe a giant. It could me anything! /s

      Carlos is 5 meters.

    Carlos looks like a cool guy. We should use Carlos in more measurements.

    source
  • Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Okay but is Carlos standing on a platform with a wall behind him, or is Carlos planking on a platform with the floor behind him?

    source
    • milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      He’s just lying on a box sticking his legs out.

      source
    • flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I came to ask if we were witnessing the plank master at work. Glad I wasn’t the only one.

      source
    • echodot@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Pretty sure he’s just been hung vertically. For we know he’s a stuffed exhibit

      source
  • mjhelto@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I really hope Carlos is getting paid to work there. Bet he has abs of steel, though! Dudes rockin’ washboard abs but is far too modest to show them off.

    source
    • nyctre@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      You can literally see his beer belly, what are you on about.

      • mjhelto@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Carlos is a master of deception!

    How many football fields is Carlos?

    source
    • Stovetop@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      About 3/200 of a football field, or roughly 24 Big Macs.

      source
      • LovableSidekick@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Real Big Macs or ad photo Big Macs?

    I’m gonna need a Carlos to Cubit to Banana diagram.

    With a slinky for scale.

    Carlos is smaller than a turtle! LOL

    He smol.

    But how many bananas tall is Carlos?

    source
    • peteypete420@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Looks about two and hald freedom eagles tall

      The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets 52,008 Carloses to the gallon and that’s the way I like it!

    I’m disappointed that nobody here has asked the right question yet:

    How many Smoots is a Carlos?

    source
    • ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      1 smoot, ± an Ɛar

  • alekwithak@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Having accidentally stood between a galloping leatherback and the ocean, I can confirm that some turtles are still as big as cars, or at least they look a lot like it when they’re about to hit you at 40mph.

      Death by turtle stampede would be a unique way to die.

      source
      • 0x0@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Slow and unique.

    How big is Carlos though? My man could be 6cm.

    Thank you, Carlos.

    Need a longer Carlos. This Carlos is too short for accurate measurement.

    source
  • ladicius@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Which one is which?

    Carlos
