minus-squareFundMECFSlinkfedilink10•17 days agoThe only thing I learnt living in england is I weigh approximately 8 stone(s). Still don’t fucking understand miles, because I lived somewhere with transport and never got a car.
minus-squareSkualinkfedilink9•17 days agoHonestly just consider it to be 1.5 km. It’s close enough for most circumstances
minus-square@MisterFroglinkEnglish2•edit-215 days agoThe Fibonacci sequence is also handy (since the golden ratio is not too far off the miles km conversion. 2 mi ≈ 3 km 3 mi ≈ 5 km 5 mi ≈ 8 km Etc 1 mi = 1.609344 km Golden ratio ≈ 1.618
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•16 days agoI understand miles because of car journalists always using 0-60mph times 😅
minus-square@thebigslimelink2•16 days agoNot terribly different from 0-100kph, FYI. That’s about 62mph.
minus-square@Taalnazilink2•14 days agoA kilometre is about 1/10,000th the distance from the North Pole to the Equator. A mile is 1,760 yards. Why? Because I said so!
