Ladies, if your man weighs 4,900 pounds, that's not your man. That's a 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali.

So that’s where my money went..,

[-] Sturgist@piefed.ca 9 points 6 days ago

Was it about tree fiddy?

Well you see in the US, the vehicle just becomes the same legal entity as the owner, after a certain number of years.

EDIT

And when you hit the age you qualify for retriement, well they just roll back 'the odometer', as a kind of traditional joke, reflected in some records.

Bear in mind, these are averages, not medians. They can be thrown off by the relatively few Americans who weigh 100,000,000+ lbs each.

Burgers Georg

[-] asmoranomar@lemmy.world 27 points 6 days ago

At birth I weighed 10 years and aged like 20,000 lbs.

[-] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.cafe 6 points 6 days ago

By golly, this just shows us that we need AI in everything now!

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 80 points 6 days ago

Don't worry, we'll start slowly and responsibly with inconsequential things like medicine and war.

"Adenosine/atropine, it's one of those 'A' drugs. Just give them a few milligrams and see what happens. We'll go from there."

[-] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

War is not inconsequential are you kidding me?? Have you not seen the profit margins?? Have you not seen the Dow?? /s

[-] fartographer@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago

I'm so glad that I invested in a 60 lb bag of cement last year! In 50-59 years, I'm gonna be able to sell this bag for a fortune!

As funny as this is, Gemini was essentially broken on release. For context this is a current response

Its fun to laugh at how stupid it was, but the fact its gotten better honestly just increases the risk that someone will believe a hallucination and bad information proliferates because its embedded in largely good information making it appear trustworthy, and if you don't know the answer then you dont know when it's confidently wrong. And it increases the risk that AI usage will grow as people decide they think its helpful, with harmful implications for the environment and labor.

It would frankly be nice if had stayed that stupid, it would be much less harmful that way

Google models always suck ass, I don't get why people ever glaze it. Or google in general.

69 pound 1 year old, such a big baby.

Nono, if you're 60-69 pounds old, the average weight is 1 year.

[-] teft@piefed.social 21 points 6 days ago

Anything but metric.

Crap, I'm underweight; time to order at least 296 pizzas.

Anyone got a voucher?

[-] zout@fedia.io 22 points 6 days ago

I can vouch that you won't survive eating 296 pizzas.

If David Attenborough was American he would have just turned into a black hole.

[-] nuko147@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago

Shit, I'm underweight. From today, 3 pizzas for dinner every day.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 12 points 6 days ago

Hopefully you'll weigh 1 year when the time comes...

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago

You can become a one year old again, by just losing some weight!

[-] darklamer@feddit.org 16 points 6 days ago

American units of measurement are so weird.

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

You take that back. It's patently untrue and it's evoked at least 10 hamburgers worth of anger from me.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

dude go eat two hamburgers. my doctor said if i got to nine burgers i could have an event and i worry about you

[-] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

An event like a party? Sounds fun!

How long is that in parsecs?

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 6 days ago

About 17 bananas

[-] RBWells@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

A 70lb 1 year old, lol.

The rest of this looks like how my kids thought growing up worked when they were really little. They expected to just keep growing, thought I was too, so by now I should be about 30 feet tall and yeah, 5,000 lb.

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago

Billions of dollars.

[-] fubarx@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

At 60, they switch over to units of time. After 70, to metric.

Edit: My bad. After 60 pounds, they reverse polarity.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

The waist is a terrible thing to mind.

[-] you_are_dust@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

I feel a lot better about myself now. I had gained some weight that I've been trying to lose, but now I find out that I'm significantly under the average for my age range. I have over 500lbs before I'd even hit the average so I'm doing fantastic.

[-] Avicenna@programming.dev 4 points 5 days ago

Light years is not a measurement of time it is a measurement of weight.

Haters will say it's ai.

[-] GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

I think those are common scores in Calvin Ball.

[-] modus@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I didn't realize my 64-year-old uncle was average-sized.

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 7 points 6 days ago

Pounds? Get out of here with that. How many elephants?

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago

Is that pounds sterling or American?

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I'm not paying that much for an American. They can't spell and they don't know the correct names for vegetables, I'll have so much educating to do, it's not worth it.

[-] Professorozone@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Well Americans do run heavier than most other countries.

[-] FluidBeef@quokk.au 2 points 5 days ago

Is this based on Elvis if he’d lived?

[-] pieland@piefed.social 3 points 6 days ago

!hmmm@lemmy.world

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 4 points 6 days ago

Well, that makes me feel better about being only 264.2 lbs. @ age 46 (and 5'8").
