Ha! As if a mere angle could out-influence my rejection sensitivity.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 17 points 12 hours ago

This post is lit because of the cm measurements.

[-] Silentiea 101 points 17 hours ago

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

Those elves are too young to be dating.

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

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

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.

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

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

[-] Silentiea 8 points 15 hours ago

Whichever one is funniest.

So... Keebler.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Rankin-Bass.

[-] PauloPelle@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

I thought the same for a moment too lol and lacking any contextual lore I tend to default to 10=1 years conversion to get a rough idea of how old they're probably considered by society so... basically an 18 years old dating a 15 years old... yeah... come back to that one in a few decades time bruv when yer lives are more in sync and you're both matured.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 13 hours ago

150 in elf years is basically 15 for a human.

[-] rhacer@lemmy.world 34 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

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 14 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours 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.

[-] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 2 points 8 hours ago

How did you end up with that lack of emotional capacity?

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago

Autism and being abused as a child will fuck you up. Mind you I have more while by myself and with friends its just all of these instances were at work and well I am nothing but business, and part of business is telling HR that I put in time off as a courteous and I wasnt fucken asking.

[-] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 1 points 40 minutes ago

Trait alexithymia for the win

[-] grozzle@lemm.ee 3 points 8 hours ago

so many researchers toasting their bagels and yet never using your dedicated bagel button will wear you down.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 15 points 15 hours ago

For anyone else using reasonable units that's 198,12 cm and 154,94 cm respectively.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 14 hours ago

for everyone who actually uses metric, that's 198 cm, and 155 cm respectively :)

[-] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 9 hours ago
[-] grozzle@lemm.ee 8 points 8 hours ago

nobody is measuring people to a tenth of a millimeter.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 13 minutes ago

4channers who blame their lack of muff action on their diminutive height are.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 8 hours ago

No, but it doesn't matter. I just provided the exact measurements because I was copy pasting anyways.

[-] grozzle@lemm.ee 6 points 8 hours ago

When the original value is only precise to plus or minus half an inch, it makes no sense whatsoever to do a conversion that's a hundred times more precise.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 7 hours ago

It's more precise and took no extra effort. ๐Ÿคท

Why is it bothering you so much?

[-] grozzle@lemm.ee 6 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

It's not more precise. A man says he's 6'2".

Sure. If he's anywhere between 6'1ยฝ" and 6'2ยฝ", that's true.

You say he's 198.12cm tall. The range of this being true is now thinner than a needle. It has gone far beyond what anyone actually measures. In over 99% of cases, it's not true, and if it is, it won't be for long, because the human body isn't nearly that consistent from breath to breath.

The conversion with spurious false precision has made the number go from true to not true.

The man is six foot two, yes, true. The man is 198.12cm - no he isn't.

[-] di_Bonaventura@futurology.today 3 points 6 hours ago

This is exactly right. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 6 hours ago

It really doesn't though.

[-] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 7 points 14 hours ago

that's too many significant figures

[-] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 8 hours ago
[-] rhacer@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

I'm impressed you were able to convert the Oreos! ๐Ÿ˜‰

[-] KomfortablesKissen@discuss.tchncs.de 90 points 22 hours ago

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

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 42 points 21 hours ago

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

[-] KomfortablesKissen@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 19 hours ago

I think not, I like the anime version

[-] BigPotato@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours 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.

[-] Cossty@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago

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

[-] Fleur_@lemm.ee 53 points 22 hours ago

Finally a height meme where I can understand the heights given

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 20 points 22 hours ago

What heights?

I don't see any heights mentioned.

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 24 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

No height, just a very old couple

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 11 points 18 hours ago

A difference of ~11" 4/5ths, or about 6' 2" vs 5' 2". ๐Ÿ“

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 53 points 1 day ago

I immediately thought they were talking about weight.

[-] Bougie_Birdie 67 points 1 day 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 31 points 23 hours ago

I assumed a vampire anime.

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 16 points 21 hours ago
[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 15 points 21 hours ago

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."
