Shoshana π³οΈββ§οΈAmericans will do anything to avoid learning the metric system
Chris Gioran π@LilahTovMoon I just love how the .4 is a scaled down corgi. Clears it right up.

@chrisg @LilahTovMoon 84 centicorgis
Err, I mean decicorgis. 84 decicorgis. 840 centicorgis.
That's a good point.
It needed 84, 1/10 scale corgies. None of that fancy fraction nonsense.
Pup Sniff@chrisg @LilahTovMoon I legit thought the 0.4 was a chihuahua and honestly... missed opportunity there.
Pablo@nanobri @chrisg @LilahTovMoon yeah, we don't need the 0.4 corgi if we use corgis and chihuahuas just as they use feet and inches
Michael / γγ€γ±γ« μ¬μ π¦@LilahTovMoon Iβm an American but have lived overseas for over 22 years now and just got used to the metric system and now have trouble going back to not using it when I go home for a visitβ¦I wish America would just switch to metric already.
Ariaflame@saja0486 @LilahTovMoon Give them time, after all it was only legal in 1866 and the act to change was only in 1975
Chu ζ±Toronto's basket ball team had an American player (actually there are lots of them), but this one in particular about 20 years ago now was a total winner. He wanted to get traded back to the United States and the mockery he received was just gold when one of his reasons was "my kids learn metric here. Where in the world are they gonna use that?"
Clare@LilahTovMoon I can never get my corgis to stack this neatly, I'm jealous
Can someone make an image of how many milliSimonBiles a full size Corgi is?
For science.
Why Not Zoidberg? π¦@LilahTovMoon the number of bald eagles per football field this car can go is too damn few.

(((Cindy Weinstein)))@LilahTovMoon. The #DogsOfMastodon are very proud to be on the same graphic as Simone Biles. They heartily approve this message.
paatukaaran@LilahTovMoon funny to see you compare Americans with dogs ππ€£
modusMatt@LilahTovMoon yes but we're learning about the corgis system

Joshua Tint@LilahTovMoon I do love that the .4 corgi scales proportionally though, that was a good choice
Maxβ’@LilahTovMoon ok fine, 840 centicorgis
Bodling@LilahTovMoon Wouldn't 12 feet be 3 corgis?
I mean, if each corgi has the usual 4 feet they're normally born with, of course.
James Baker π
Woozle Hypertwin@LilahTovMoon ...heyyyy wait -- those are metric Corgis!
adamrice@LilahTovMoon Itβs true.
Whatβs worse, they donβt indicate whether theyβre using Cardigan or Pembroke Corgis as their metric.
Heathen π@LilahTovMoon
Whoa, you can stack corgis up to 4 meters?! Amazing!

Jay A. EtchingsThe average height of a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, the more common type of Corgi, is 25-30 cm. (224cm)

n3wjack@LilahTovMoon Most useless chart for Europeans ever.
None of those measurements make sense.

Bart Allen@LilahTovMoon all of this talk about how to accurately measure using Corgis and no one has taken on that this is implying she can jump 12 F-ing feet into the air.
Karen E. Lund ππ@barryallen2023 @LilahTovMoon Yeah! If she has a day off from gymnastics she could stroll over to the track and field competition and try high jump. With a half twist, just for fun.

Nick's world@LilahTovMoon Pretty much. i've never understood the metric system. I grew up with the imperial system.
ArchaeoIain@gocu54 @LilahTovMoon it is not so hard. I grew up in the UK and I remember the farthing coin (which was, if I remember, 1/4d). But I was then taught science and discovered there was this really simple system of measurements called Metric.
@LilahTovMoon We do sell soft drinks in two liter bottles, which strikes me as an odd thing to make an exception for.

Arthur CopelandNo, no. Donβt drag Americans into this. βCorgiβ is clearly a British unit of measurement!

Bakunin Boys@LilahTovMoon there's a pic of Biles standing next to Shaq. She comes up to his hips. She could comfortably flip over him.
Greywolf@LilahTovMoon The Corgi numbering system is Base 4

@LilahTovMoon the amazing thing is that they managed to make it to the moon and back without metric measurements.
