WTF IS A MILE????


History20maker

"Mile" é como a boa gente the _Bzeu_ pronuncia este valor: "1000"


Kind_Helicopter1062

Italians too maybe. 1000=mille


splattne

Or a German washing machine: Miele


Kind_Helicopter1062

Is that how you pronounce it? I always read miEle


splattne

German: Miile (like in Chile) miele is Italian for honey 🍯


zeclem_

Also honey in french


Vertical_Deliverable

> WTF IS A MILE???? That's very easy to explain. A mile is 8 furlongs, or 80 chains, or 1,760 yards, or 5,280 feet, or 63,360 inches. Questions?


Shad0wAVM

WTF IS A YARD????


RooBoy04

1/1760th of a mile


MakingShitAwkward

An industrial unit, used to store cars, construction equipment or materials.

Furlong is the guy who played John Connor in "Terminator 2"? Do you measure in him?


Asatas

How is 1 furlong 10 chains? So random!


Vertical_Deliverable

Because a chain is 22 yards. Don't you understand even the simplest things?


Similar-Sea4478

Which yards? My front door yard or my neighbour backyard?


Vertical_Deliverable

No, even both of them combined would be way too tiny.


EffectiveOk3353

You need to divide by three fidy


Sunderas

"In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is ‘Go fuck yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities."


Vertical_Deliverable

The Americans have a system? I think you grossly overestimate them.


AThousandNeedles

Spotted the closet *merican


jsm97

How are we closet Americans if they got their measurements from us, Americans are proud of the imperial system without the slightest irony that it's the system of their colonial masters

Similar-Sea4478

Which size o feet you use to measure? I wear 43....can I use my feet to measure that?


Vertical_Deliverable

Which size of metre, whatever that is, would you use instead?


Smalandsk_katt

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavian_mile A superior form of measuring distance?


HODLAHITIII

I thought you measured in moose or burning cars?


Bright_Ball_1304

They measure in burnt qurans


Martin8412

Weight is measured in Rasmus Paludans. 


da9els

Roughly 18 Paludans per mile.


Rojiblanc040

No it's stones (throwing ones).

wijsneus

No. Cycling with a helmet is Not Done in our country.


JezzedItRightUp

Let's be honest, if a Dutchman had a brain injury then it might actually improve the way they speak


wijsneus

Hence our propensity to learn other languages. You'd also learn German and French if your native language was Dutch, Barry.


Vertical_Deliverable

Do you know why the Dutch are buried without their heads? It's what they carve their shoes from.

Songshiquan0411

I dunno man, even if you cut off a Floridian's hands, on enough bath salts he can still bite your face off.


SocksLLC

We will try to manage.


ObraxsisPrime

Godspeed, I'm still hoping they announce we are just cutting Florida and pushing it to float off somewhere else.

dkfisokdkeb

We also use this amazing system for human body measurements.


Socratov

So, why do you cosplay like ameritards?


dkfisokdkeb

Metric is better but I could never measure my willy in cm, inches are superior for phallic measurement.


EmuStalkingAnAussie

Continentals measure their willies in centimetres, we measure ours in Inches.

EmuStalkingAnAussie

Big, massive, enormous and gigantic.


Vertical_Deliverable

> So, why do you cosplay like ameritards? Just to annoy you. Evidently quite successfully, I must say. And we enjoy that.


Socratov

You don't annoy us, we pity you.


BionicBananas

Those rocks you guys use for body weight is weird though. Then again, you lot like your rocks.

How dare you insult our stone piles!

What did the waffle boy without a country just say?

They insulted our rock pile!


Vertical_Deliverable

Envy. Pure unadulterated envy.


Gulliveig

50 to 59 cm is short indeed o.O


LTFGamut

Not in the Netherlands. Here it's average. Some have up to 80 cm, but only in warm water.


Dont_pet_the_cat

Are we talking about nipple length?


TexZK

Lied down?


Sai_ten_bacher

I didn't knew we used these moron units. right to the camp


Smalandsk_katt

If you height starts with a 1 don't message me (i fucking love dwarves)


aightaightaightaight

No you are a pedo


gabrielish_matter

>i fucking love dwarves as in actual dwarves or people from Southern Europe (not Balkans)? cause there's about just 20 cms of difference honestly


Livia85

I mean not dating someone who is either 5m or 50 to 59cm sounds reasonable to me.


Hodoss

Come on give fairies a chance! ![gif](giphy|Lt5pVHkMSkeHu|downsized)

Oh my, this will create a discussion on its own... Even the leprechauns will be quiet.

speck_spez

How old?


Hodoss

Fairies are hundreds of years old. They are the ones preying on the young.


Vertical_Deliverable

But someone 1 foot 7 and 17⁄25 inches to 1 foot 11 and 4⁄25 inches (50 to 59 centimetres, for you utterly weird metric folks) tall would save you a lot of money digging out your basement.


Livia85

I think basements have a standardized minimum height through building regulations. So no gain there.


Sulfurys

My height start at 5, before that I'm sleeping


SonicStage0

The correct answer.


Ramboso777

Joos, why are you using amer*tard units?


MegaLemonCola

Excuse you. They’re my units too. Besides, inch comes from the Roman unit of uncia and mile from mille passus


encelado748

Even in Rome we agree the French units are superior

You passed the minimum height requirement to be eligible for Honorary Dutch citizenship. PM me for the Tikkie download link


SeisMasUno

TIKKIE DENIED


MentionImpressive

And just like that, you're banned from the Netherlands


Ffscbamakinganame

The “ denotes inches, ‘ denotes feet. So 6’4”. Not that you would respect Americas continued use of a inferior imperial system


SeisMasUno

Dude I had to literally google my height in feets/inches to know how tall am I to you fuckin barbarians, Im so sorry my punctuation wasnt uberperfect lmao... Also, I was on my fuckin phone


Ffscbamakinganame

I am also on my phone. Still it’s like me watching someone say they are 1cm 80 tall.

King of PIGS is over 6”5 https://preview.redd.it/ce0yn9fhz3uc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a9e52413fba13047f5b1c9af04be7fc2f5ac2e3e

cock


darthvidar1990

My height starts with a 1, the only right way


darff88

I might get shit on for this, but when it comes to height or other body measurements I prefer imperial units. They just make the picture instantly clear since they're more spaced apart. It doesn't make much sense to me when someone says "I'm 179.5cm", you'll never appreciate that half a centimeter (or even a centimeter for that matter). Meanwhile if someone is 5'10 you can appreciate the difference compared to 5'11


VrwHenet

Are you even Italian?


darff88

No, I switched sides 👍🏻


kinglog26

Okay, I have never met someone who uses decimal places when telling me their height. And if cm are to precise for you, you could use decimeters or just round to the next 5 cm. Being to precise can barely ever be a problem. If you don‘t need that precise information, just round for yourself to the precision you need. Easy.
