        The amount of pizza that 12 elephants would eat, or do you live in a place where pizzas are bigger than elephants?

    while it’s still true, this one is so old, those cars you see have been scraped so long ago, their metal was probably reused for the washing machine you disposed off the year before last ;)

Americans will use anything but metric

The Rules:

  1. Posts must be a screenshot, crosspost, or link to someone using a bizarre unit of measurement (33 lanes wide, as heavy as 10 semi-trucks, etc.)

  2. Standard units are not allowed, unless it’s a sufficiently bizarre usage of the unit (this is up to mod discretion.)

  3. Intentionally terrible units are completely fine! Satire is welcome here

  4. Curses are fine, slurs are not. If there are slurs in something you want to post, please blur them, or reconsider posting.

  5. Flag NSFW content as such. NSFW words in these posts don’t need to be censored.

  6. Post titles should be just the unit of measurement used (not the thing being measured!), and should be the full name of the unit (Apples and Bags of Apples imply very different things!) NSFW units should be partially censored. If there are multiple units, list as many as you want. If the source is satire, the title should start with [Satire]

  7. In the comments be civil, both to each other AND the subject of posts.

Mod Policy:

  • All removes and bans will have a reason provided, and locked threads will have a stickied comment explaining the lock.
  • Currently, this is just policy. If more mods join, these will become rules for mods. (Can’t exactly punish myself, can I?)
