I mean if he’s 6’ tall I’m dtf. Otherwise get lost scrub.
What's a ' ?
Minutes.
Ladies want you to last 6 minutes now fuck got go crank a few out so I last
' is feet or minute depending on context
" is inches or seconds depending on context
How do you measure things in feet? Everyone's feet are different sizes, that doesn't seem like a reproducible way to make anything.
Easy, since Henry the VIII the foot was defined as 12 in. What's an inch you ask? Well an inch is 3 barleycorns placed side by side. Which 3 barleycorns? That doesn't matter it's close enough.
Foot
No, that's 🦶
Ohhhhhhh Ankle
Now SI units are getting pegged? When's my turn?
Not sure what unit of measurement this is, but most reports list his height as ~186cm
That's a hair over 6'
Okay? Still not sure what unit that is.
This sub is for Canada, where every unit of measuring length is based on the meter!
Apparently six apostrophes is equal to 182.88 cm. Seems like a rather arbitrary value to me.
The inch is exactly 25.4mm btw, it's metric all the way down!
Touché!
Did I really need to put in a /s on comment on a meme post??
fwiw I got your sarcasm 😄
The comment asking what a foot is, was building off the joke in the post image which was asking what a mile is, which itself is a reference to an American line https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/what-the-fuck-is-a-kilometer
Only it started as being satire, but now it's also used by some people trying to be patriotic
Literally your second post in 2 years of Lemmy?
