The sign of a good game is when it takes 10 hours to get into… (/s)
Well no, it makes it meters, because they’re saying “meters” and the number is in meters. Yes it’s easily convertible to centimeters, you just move the decimal point. But to say “meters but with two decimals so it’s not meters” is obviously, comically, inaccurate.
“Wow, that’s messed up.”

That last one is my favorite because they say they only do it in centimeters and then immediately in the next sentence say they also give it in meters, lol.
“Small” is extremely relative, I’d say centimeters are small too.
I mean, you’re free to read the comments yourself, but if memory serves, they use decimals. Of course, with the natural logic of the metric system, it’s exceedingly easy to convert to centimeters. I just thought it was weird to be so adamant that no one would ever give their height in meters.
Nice, I can update my résumé!
Stone isn’t a measurement in America, it’s inorganic material. The next-heighest commonly known weight is a ton, or 2000 lbs. Not very helpful.
Except numerous people in this thread say they and people they know give their height in meters. So I guess it’s not really never then, huh? Just saying, try not to be so absolute about something so inabsolute.
No, we give our weight in pounds instead of ounces because weight is one of those things that doesn’t really need to be exact and will change by a couple dozen ounces or so based on the time of day and what you’ve eaten.
That doesn’t answer my question at all, but thanks for your input!
Lol, I guess I touched a nerve somehow, idk
Never? Why never?
To be at least equally precise but only slightly more pedantic, √5248.
No that’s Mark Harmon. He does have a similarly bad haircut, but this guy looks a bit more like Dustin Hoffman. Another alleged weirdo, I believe, but luckily for Mike, he’s neither of them. Just a dude with some kittens, I think.
They didn’t get years in prison, look up “suspended sentence”.
Yah, it was a joke based on the ambiguous title. Lemmy is just reeeeeally bad at recognizing sarcasm, even when it’s literally labeled as such, lol.
