No units -> my brain reads those numbers as ages...

Those elves are too young to be dating.

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Going by which lore though. In D&D 5e, Elves reach adulthood by 100 years of age.

[-] Silentiea 13 points 1 year ago

Whichever one is funniest.

So... Keebler.

this is why the US customary unit system is superior to the metric system, we don't even have to write out a unit, we just hit an annotation.

classic feet and inches W

obviously /s but seriously go get your own shorthand units, it's nice.

I thought they were pounds and had no idea why that was relevant to the photo-taking issue.

If anyone is interested, here is the original (I think):

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago

lmao that's much more perfect than the version I posted

I think not, I like the anime version

[-] BigPotato@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Anime woman looks more mad though. Like I wouldn't want to turn my back on her after the picture. Real person looks on the verge of tears. Less like she's going to kill me, therefore less attractive.

Isnt 188 cm just barely 6'2? Not 6'4.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 56 points 1 year ago

I immediately thought they were talking about weight.

[-] Bougie_Birdie 71 points 1 year ago

Weirdly, I thought years. Like these were elves or something.

I've been playing too much D&D, I need to spend some time in the real world.

[-] OCATMBBL@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

I assumed a vampire anime.

Reminds me of a Billy Crystal joke.

105 year old man and his 99 year old wife go to the judge to ask for a divorce.

"Are you sure that you want a divorce at your ages?"

"Yes, your honor, we haven't been happy for a while and it's time to end things."

"Why did you stay together for so long?"

"We were waiting for the children to die."

6'6" (247.5 Oreo Cookies for those of you who use that measurement). My wife is 5'1" tall.

When I was growing up my mom would always say "the tall girls are going to love you!" Every tall girl I ever asked out shot me down in flames.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I am 5'5" I have been flirted with by a surprisingly high number of near or above six foot women. The weird part is that most of them have known damned well I have the emotional capacity of a irate toaster in a research facility. Also I only get that they were flirting years later.

This post is lit because of the cm measurements.

[-] solrize@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

Height in centimeters? I don't entirely get this.

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

Height in centimeters?

Yeah, it's in centimeters. 158 cm is 0.000853132 and 188 is 0.00101512 in nautical miles, if that helps any.

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Alternatively, as a smaller scale, 158 cm and 188 cm are only 0.01727909011373578 and 0.020559930008748905 football fields, respectively. Hope this helps.

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 25 points 1 year ago

Yeah I had to read it twice to figure it wasn't years. And I use metric, so I know exactly how tall these two are but for some reason it didn't click on the first read

[-] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 15 points 1 year ago

It would be easier if it was 1.88 and 1.56 :)

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 year ago

I think the anime picture adds to it. I thought it was about the "my witch girlfriend is actually 500 just in a childs body so its not pedophilia"

It's nothing. Without a unit those are just numbers. A can of coke isn't 12, it's 12floz.

Or so my metric companions don't shit themselves in their panic-induced rage at the sight of imperial units, a coke can isn't 355, it's 355mL.

I'll accept the lowercase L (in my East Coast based US education we were taught liters should also be capital L, but that seems to either be flat-out incorrect or have fallen out of fashion), but googling images of the cans shows me no space between the number and the unit.

[-] gentooer@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I hadn't even noticed that you didn't put a space between the number and the unit. Looking it up online, the Bureau international des poids et mesures states that a space is to be used in front of all units, except for °, ' and ". Dropping the space is very common though.

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

It's cool to learn the official guidelines; thanks for doing the legwork here!

[-] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

No, in feet, they're actually giants.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Practice using metric. Not kidding, as an American it’s sometimes frustrating but most things are available in metric and there is a quite large convenience factor

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I can tolerate distances in metric, but I draw the line at personal measurements!

A difference of ~11" 4/5ths, or about 6' 2" vs 5' 2". 📐

Gosh I love Edelgards design
