Why can't Americans just be normal and use the metric system rather than some shit like 5'11 120 lbs? What the heck is that
Sorry thats 1.8E9nm tall and 8.5 stone. Hope thats easier for you to understand
The stone isn't since it's not metric but the height legitimately is since I can just drop the e9 and get a reasonable height.
Since, yknow, metric makes sense.
1.8 nm is kinda short
Well, as the „n“ just stands for „E-9“ it really just says 1.8 m
And the comment I replied to said to drop the e9 ...
1.8e9nm means 1.8*10^9nm, which is 1.8m.
And the comment I replied to said to drop the e9 ...
Not if the girlfriend is an ant
I don't think you have ever measured an ant
lemmy not letting delete comments forever sucks. I just double posted by accident man!
It's funny, you try and be intentionally obtuse with the nano units, except doing it in metric doesn't work since "1.8" is still there.
Thanks, the nm were useful
That would be five minutes to eleven one hundred irritable bowl syndromes. You're welcome
Tysm!
I'll help explain:
5'11 is like 9'11 and describes the sidereal period when he was born.
The lbs in 120 lbs is for Likable Behavior Scale units. He's just saying his brother scored very high and is very likable.
The truth is that all Americans are comfortable with the metric system but we still use Imperial when we know it will bother you.
You guys crashed a probe into Mars the last time you tried to use metric.
And yet you insist we keep trying. For shame. What other celestial bodies do you want us to crash into?
Alpha Centauri
That was one of the times we bothered you.
And that’s why Imperial is better, Metric just crashes spacecraft into planets.
Yeah but the time before that we put a man on the moon with it
Pretty sure you should blame the British.
Blame the British, both for inventing the system and for being so insufferable that we refused to change to metric along with them
They didn't fully switch. The chart of measurements used by the British is very.. random.
For you guys, he’s about 5.11 liters tall.
It's too late for us, once the end comes and we've split into multiple countries we'll finally have the opportunity for genuine reform
5'11" = 180cm
120lbs = 54.4Kg
For all those who prefer normal measurements lol
It’s 180cm
