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

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 2 months ago
Racism.
parody@lemmings.world 2 months ago
Hmmm
Take concept of e.g. “Edda van Heemstra Hepburn-Ruston” -> Audrey Hepburn…
Add “stereotyping”…
¡Hola Carlos!

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 looks like a cool guy. We should use Carlos in more measurements.
Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 2 months 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 2 months ago
He’s just lying on a box sticking his legs out.
flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
I came to ask if we were witnessing the plank master at work. Glad I wasn’t the only one.
echodot@feddit.uk 2 months ago
Pretty sure he’s just been hung vertically. For we know he’s a stuffed exhibit
mjhelto@lemm.ee 2 months 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 2 months ago
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 2 months ago
1 smoot, ± an Ɛar
alekwithak@lemmy.world 2 months 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.

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