You know, I have always used feet to measure height, but somehow seeing the difference in meters is significantly more eye opening as to just how insanely different those heights are.
Edit: Although I think you might have meant 1.57 for 5’2" 😅
Use your superior education that you got in your non-US country and do the math. Yeah the units are stupid and Americans are uneducated. But we can at least do the conversions.
I’ve gone on this tirade plenty of times, but inches aren’t stupid. 12 inches to a foot makes a lot of sense for problems we’ve had to solve for millennia, because it’s 3 times a power of two. For things like woodoworking it actually makes more sense than the metric system.
“But 10 deciliters in a liter” Using a tape measure, mark out 1/3rd of the thickness of a standard 19mm sheet of plywood. I’ll be over here doing the same with 3/4" plywood by marking at 1/4".
Maybe we shouldn’t be selling Europe any weapons that work.
Real units please.
He’s very tall and she’s pretty short, both with regards to average for their gender.
Tap for spoiler

Metres
A meter measures something, a metre is a unit of measurement.
Actually they represent the same distance, the different spellings are just regional. See center vs centre.
Isn’t the metremeter the thing that measures stuff?
These are real units.
One is 6 minutes, 5 seconds and the other is 5 minutes, 2 seconds.
The bf & gf are 1.222x10^35 and 9.842×10^34 planck lengths, respectively.
god i hate the metric system. how much is that in hours?
Depends how big the circle is, one hour is 15 degrees, but we can’t convert degrees to length without the radius.
Maybe they want light hours.
Or in better American heavy hours.
I can give it to you in c*h if you want…
Too real.
They’re both about 0 AU, so I don’t really see the problem.
She was as tall as a 7 year old Norwegian pine sapling exposed to ideal soil and water conditions and he was as tall as a female giraffe’s asshole.
He is 19.5 hands tall. She is 15.5 hands tall.
I’d say he’s about 0.0864 of a brontosaurus.
Okay, he was 6’5" and she was 5’2".
He was a skater boy, she said see you later boy
*sk8r boi
About 192cm vs 155cm
1/46 and 1/58 of an american football field?

She was 8 bananas, he was 10.

And he usually doesn’t need to, since the civilised word is using metric system.
I can’t count past ten either. Little help!
