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
SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
Is that a standard Carlos, or an imperial Carlos?
3laws@lemmy.world 4 days 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 ?
GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days ago
It’s the size of a small boulder.

This is Stupendemys geographicus from Urumaco, Venezuela, and Rodolfo Sánchez from Coro, Venezuela.

Thank you!
So why did it say Carlos? Just to make a joke on ‘car’?
JokeDeity@lemm.ee 4 days ago
Racism.

Hmmm
Take concept of e.g. “Edda van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston” -> Audrey Hepburn…
Add “stereotyping”…
¡Hola Carlos!

Carlos looks like a cool guy. We should use Carlos in more measurements.
Zacryon@feddit.org 4 days 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
slappypantsgo@lemm.ee 4 days ago
Carlos is 5 meters.
mjhelto@lemm.ee 4 days 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.
Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 4 days 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?
milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 4 days ago
He’s just lying on a box sticking his legs out.
flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 days ago
I came to ask if we were witnessing the plank master at work. Glad I wasn’t the only one.
echodot@feddit.uk 4 days ago
Pretty sure he’s just been hung vertically. For we know he’s a stuffed exhibit

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

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?
ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 5 days ago
1 smoot, ± an Ɛar
alekwithak@lemmy.world 4 days 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.

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