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.

Is that a standard Carlos, or an imperial Carlos?
3laws@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Given that South America has a greater native genetic pool but still mixed genealogy, International Standard would be adept.

Of course you don’t get giant turtles that small

I’m not good with car sizes, how many Dr Pepper is that ?
GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
It’s the size of a small boulder.
egrets@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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 1 year ago
Racism.
parody@lemmings.world 1 year ago
Hmmm
Take concept of e.g. “Edda van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston” -> Audrey Hepburn…
Add “stereotyping”…
¡Hola Carlos!
Zacryon@feddit.org 1 year 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 1 year ago
Carlos is 5 meters.

Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Carlos looks like a cool guy. We should use Carlos in more measurements.
Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 1 year 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 1 year ago
He’s just lying on a box sticking his legs out.
flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I came to ask if we were witnessing the plank master at work. Glad I wasn’t the only one.
echodot@feddit.uk 1 year ago
Pretty sure he’s just been hung vertically. For we know he’s a stuffed exhibit
mjhelto@lemm.ee 1 year 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.

How many football fields is Carlos?
Stovetop@lemmy.world 1 year ago
About 3/200 of a football field, or roughly 24 Big Macs.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 year 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?
peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Looks about two and hald freedom eagles tall

The US with it’s imperial system 🤦♂️
allidoislietomyself@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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 1 year ago
1 smoot, ± an Ɛar
alekwithak@lemmy.world 1 year 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.
Machinist@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Death by turtle stampede would be a unique way to die.
0x0@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Slow and unique.
dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
How big is Carlos though? My man could be 6cm.
123nope567@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Five Carlos
mriormro@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Thank you, Carlos.
fckreddit@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Need a longer Carlos. This Carlos is too short for accurate measurement.
ladicius@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Which one is which?
MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Carlos
EchoCranium@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
Looks like he’s laying next to a giant Tollhouse cookie.
