New standard for measuring pocket size just dropped.

Just as soon as I start shitting billiard balls, I will install this toilet.

@eestileib @cube_drone @golgaloth Will probably be due to you not eating enough greens...
@cube_drone @golgaloth The non-standardized "tea spoon" is the unit of choice in nutrition declarations required by the FDA
@herzmut You have a non-standard tea spoon? Here a tea spoon is 5 ml.
@rikard I do not know where "here" is, but I do know that United States regulators do not define a teaspoon in a metric unit.
@golgaloth Where is this? I may need to start wearing skirts

@Lawdog @golgaloth The brand itself is Ludo Cherry who may have been working a booth locally in Australia at an event… or a reseller

@sylvie @Lawdog @golgaloth looks like CanCon in Canberra to my eye.

Can recommend LudoCherry, I've worn some of their shirts at least once a week for 6 or so years

@sylvie @Lawdog @golgaloth haven't tested the dice claim but may get my wife to check
@sylvie @Lawdog @golgaloth OMG, the polkadice fabric has me sorely tempted.

@Lawdog @golgaloth

I don't know who was at that convention, but MayaKern mid-length skirts all have two pockets, each big enough to hold a NIntendo DS. And they are available in many sizes.

@golgaloth What's 200 dice in cubits?
@felix @golgaloth which game are you playing (types of dice used) and how food is your sight (size of dice used)? 
@golgaloth is that for a mix of d6 and d20? Those are on the sign, but assumptions are dangerous.
@golgaloth that's like 3 or 4 bananas.
@golgaloth One clothing maker in the furry fandom once boasted that you could pocket a Nintendo Switch comfortably while wearing their skirts!

@baralheia @golgaloth

That sounds like Maya Kern - her skirts are very popular for that reason! 🙂

@golgaloth does this mean that I now have -an excuse- a reason to own more than 200 dice, in order to test the capacity of my pockets?

probably a lot more than 200 dice, since I have 1700 style pockets.

interesting :D

@golgaloth Notice how everyone has just presumed that the poster, at a nerdy conference by the looks of it, was written in base 10 and not base 3 or base 4...

@UkeleleEric @golgaloth Oof. Imagine the type of Karens sellers have to deal with at maths conventions.

"Excuse me, is that special offer of 59 factorial in base 10, or some higher base? It already seems a bit steep to me."

@golgaloth This would 100% make it more likely for me to buy it (buying ability varies depending on time of year, lol).
@golgaloth As a unit for measure volume..i find it oddly easy to understand
@golgaloth
Americans will use anything but the metic system, eh? 😉
@golgaloth wonder how many dice fit into the volume a 750ml glass bottle takes up. as i have a skirt with pockets that each hold two of those and still have a little more space (for a bit more than a phone)
@glowl I feel an experiment coming on.
@golgaloth i mean, i have two times 100 or 144 tiny dice, one box of those would easily fit about 30 times into each pocket.
@golgaloth no pockets? No dice.
@RenardDneiges agad’ !
@fabi1cazenave Ho whaou!😍 Des poches et des graaaaandes en plus . (j'adore les rolistes qui utilisent le dés comme unité de mesure 😄 )
@RenardDneiges @fabi1cazenave
il faut combien de dés pour remplir une piscine olympique ?
@Gallorum @fabi1cazenave ça dépend des dés. Parce que les d6 tu pourras les empiler facilement, mais avec du d10 ou du d20 tu vas tout de suite avoir de la place perdue.
Je suis pas à la maison, du coup je peux pas mettre les miens dans un plat pour ensuite faire un petit calcul mathématique, mais j'avoue ça me démange 😅

@RenardDneiges :-)
Tiens, pour alimenter ta réflexion 🙂
l'octaèdre régulier ne pave pas l'espace, mais il le fait en associant avec des tétraèdres réguliers 🙂

@fabi1cazenave

@Gallorum @RenardDneiges C’est bizarre que les profs de maths n’emballent pas plus pendant les soirées. Je me demande à quoi ça tient ?
@fabi1cazenave @RenardDneiges
iels vont pas dans les soirées, spoursa
@Gallorum @RenardDneiges C’est bien urbain. Le reste des humains n’auraient plus la moindre chance.
@fabi1cazenave @RenardDneiges Ouais. Haha.
Les surfeurs et les guitaristes en PLS.
@Gallorum @fabi1cazenave @RenardDneiges les problèmes de pavage de l’espace par des polyèdres réguliers (ou pas, d’ailleurs) ne vont pas se résoudre tous seuls!

@golgaloth

I don't think the pockets on my combats even hold that many dice.

I think I need one of these skirts...

@golgaloth oh, a skirt for someone who plays Exalted? Neat!

@golgaloth

<3

The measurement of volume contained in _dice_ is _lovely_.

@golgaloth I love a good pocket, but the real question is has skirt been designed to not sag when a pocket that big is weighted down?
@golgaloth literally *ANYthing* other than the metric system
@golgaloth I'm just hoping they're using standard 16mm d6s, and not those teeny 5mm ones. (Quick edit to get the right "standard size")
@golgaloth: My unit for pocket sizes always was how many half-liter glass bottles fit into them. 🤪
