Fun penis fact: if you tell people you're 6.5 inches, it sounds like you're trying too hard to get that last bit of length. If you instead say 17cm, that's just how long you are.
You're welcome, fellow penis owners.
Wait I've checked this, a Big Mac is 3,5 inches in height. That's 94,5 inches not 74.
Seriously, I'm an European and don't know what I am talking about. Inches, Feet, Legs, Elbows... Lol only in america.
Historians will get the Elbow joke.
Google said a Big Mac was 2.75” in height, 3.75” in diameter. I then had to convert that to civilised units.
No joke, I used our European websearch qwant and found a link which says 3.5.
Making me divide by 12: that’s a paddlin’.
> console.log(`${Math.trunc(74/12)}' ${74 % 12}"`) 6' 2"Now if only we used a duodecimal number system. Then I could divide by 2, 3, 4, and 6 while staying within the integers for as long as possible. And someone who is 6' 2" would just be 6212"
He used an inch tape measure and converted the height to cm I guess.
Fuck your freedom units. I'll stick to sane units of measurement thank you.
Mathless morons should be exiled to the middle of the saharan desert with a 5l bottle of water and a metric measure map to the nearest settlement
I've gotten so sick of working with people in multiple timezones that I've just started using UTC for everything.
Fuck you for living in a different sliver of the planet. You aren't gonna make me do all the math. I'm bringing you down with me.
Let's see them tremble when daylight savings time ends.
idk if all my calendars around me have been implementing it wrong, but if not, UTC is also affected by daylight savings, making it the same time zone as GMT
Do Europeans really give their height in cm? You'd think they short hand it like to like 1.7m or whatever since height is one of those things that doesn't really need to be exact and will change by a cm or so based on the kind of shoes you are wearing, or wearing shoes at all.
In my native language we say the equivalent of 'one and eighty-five' to refer to 185 cm of height, so basically we give it in meters.
Not europe but yes, we do it in cm. Never heard people rounding up or down to the tenth though, so 164cm is 164cm, not 160cm.
continental europeans who know their height in feet must number in the hundreds! (my dad and i happen to be two because of Karl May reasons, but i doubt anyone else bothers...)
In France it's generally in meters with two decimals, so basically the same as giving it in cm
You always do it in cm wherever I've been. It's either directly in cm, as in 172 cm or phrased in meters, as in 1.72 m. You cab say you're around 170 cm tall or around 1.7 m tall, but the 'default precision level' is 1 cm
Particularly for folks with long spines, height can change significantly throughout the day.
Japan does too, at least from all the manga etc I've read. Not in meters either, just cm.
Man it's been 2 days since I saw this and it fucking gets me every time. 🤣
Now every time I remember how tall I am, I also* remember this.
I just wish people would step up to a bigger scale when it's needed or to a smaller scale for the same reason. I hate seeing big massive boats measured in thousands upon thousands of centimeters instead of just using meters or feet, and it's annoying when people say their height in hundreds of millimeters.
Or when knife-blade thickness gets measured in hundredths of decimal inches or weird fractional measurements instead of just using millimeters since it's a smaller unit.
I hear americans measure tire thread depth in 32ths of an inch?? I mean it's nice that you're using powers of two but huh?
