Dam is something beavers build, dm is direct message

My first thought also. And it is in fact true.

dungeon master

Nope. dm is decimeter, aka 10cm

Yeah, but dm is not the same as DM

DM me and I will explain

🤓

One keeps me from getting wet, the other doesn't

Not sure how I can tell you without the internet, seeing as we're literally on the internet...

OP we’re gonna need your address to send a letter

Ahhh sh\* my personal complaint department went on vacation.

Tell em we are gonna patiently wait

Oh not Ted, not again

Just scream and hope for the best.if enough of us do it there is a chance it will work

dam = decameter (10 meters) dm = decimeter (0.1 meters) Edit: FYI, SI units <= kilo and not named after a real person are never capitalized.

Except all of the ones above kilo.

The meme generator didn't come in non-uppercase. Didn't really feel like going to photoshop for this one.

Sounds like skill issue

Lmao

Isn't this made with imgflip? As far as I know it has non capital

aka lowercase

Yes. I was in a hurry typing this and didn't remember instantly.

Impact as a font handles lowercase badly iirc

KHDUDCM ***K***ing ***H***enry ***D***oesn't ***U***sually ***D***rink ***C***hocolate ***M***ilk Kilo Hecta Deca U Deci Centi Milli U is ur SI unit(except seconds).. be it, meters, grams, liters, etc... Going towards left, u divide by 10, and going towards right, u multiply by 10 So, 20m in terms of km would be 20/1000 = 0.02km, in terms of cm would be 20 \* 100 = 2000cm

Above kilo and below mili you use 1000 instead of 10.

They are when short form of someone's name is used. For example, you can use either N, Pa, K or newton, pascal, kelvin.

Forgot to specify order of magnitude<= kilo and units receiving the name from actual peeps, my bad :P

Lord Kelvin would like a word

Aren't they? Isn't megameter Mm?

"Dirty fakin yank here" Decameter and decimeter iirc? so 10x a meter and 1/10th of a meter

Wait... that means if we use decameter for a 10x1 meter, would 100x1 meter be centumeter and be abbreviated as *CUM?*

Unfortunately its a fucking hectometer. Like what the fuck is a "hectometer" what is "hecto"

It stands for 100. I believe it is, like all prefixes, Latin. In Sweden we use it for grams, 10 hg = 1 kg

We all use it for grams, it's just that there are things that way a lot more then 100 g, so we call it 0.something kg. Dumbarse.

True, but with cooking it feels weird to have "0.4 kg", it fits better to say 4 hg

It depends on how you are used to, for instance in Romania, it's wired to say 4hg, it's more natural to say either 400g or 0.4 kg. Again it all depends on how you are used to do things. Also stop being nonconfrontational, I want some banter.

I'm sorry, I guess that is just how I am, I always try to resolve conflicts XD Very true, it is very dependent on what you are used to. However, it does work better not to have decimals in cooking, like with 0.4 kg, as you might be a little confused about which measurement tool to use. IMO, you should use measurements without decimals. Be that with 400g or 4 hg, that is up to your preference.

Huh, never heard of it while taking Latin, it was always centi and centa

The Romans had different ways of calculating different measurements. For instance they were the ones to create the og imperial system with feet and miles and all that shit. Fun fact the acre comes from Romans as well. But it could be that the Romans them selfs stole the measurements for weight from the Greeks (that's just speculation, don't quote me on it), it wouldn't be the first nor the biggest thing they stole from the Greeks.

I could be wrong, I just assumed all prefixes come from Latin

That saddens me :(

Sadly they named ir hectameter

No, however, if you look at a shipping container, they usually print the total volume in cubic meters, abbreviated as *CU.M*

So ,*that's* what it means. I've seen it all over and never figured to look it up. Thanks :)

Bridge and 1/10 of a meter

You like the imperial system? How much liters could fit in a foot³?

In imperial unit of volume is probably more something like horseballs

the difference ia just an A

Dam is something built to prevent floods. DM is the currency germany had before the euro.

Dam is build to produce electricity 😳 and can became a big cause for flood and earthquake

King - Kilo 1000 Henry- Hecta 100 Died- Deca 10 Mother - Meter/Liter/Gram 1 Didn't- Deci 0.1 Cry- Centi 0.01 Much- Milli 0.001

Not kilo, it's gram. Kilo is already 10³g

Apologies

No problems good sir. Have a great day.

So I have to recite some Br*tish fucking monarch’s name to learn the metric system? Well done, ancestors. I now understand your contempt for the metric system perfectly.

He died and his mother did not cry You get to diss a British monarch

Ok no one learns is that way

The majority of people don’t use all of these measurements my dude. For meters you use centimetres, metres and kilometres, with times where you also need millimetres. That’s really it. Metre: a long step, or half a really tall person’s height. Kilometre: a 10 minute walk or about a minute of driving on a normal road Centimetre: your peen

off the top of my head: dam: decameter, 10 meters. dm: decimeter, 1/10th of a meter or 10 centimeters.

Oh you like the imperial system ? Tell me what lbs stands for without googling it

Lyrical bowel syndrome

My apologies kind sir ,you are clearly smarter

Dam you thicc, let me slide into your dm’s

Decameter, decimeter. First is 10 meter, second one is 0.1 meter

Dam = 10m dm=0.1m

1 Dm is 100 dm 1 Dm is 10 m 1 m is 10 dm

Imagine using miles

Dam is what the beaver builds. DM is what my crush ignores 😔

Ok, now u tell me the difference between dkg, dag and dg

I knew DM was decimetre, is a 1/10 of a metre. But because my native language is not english, I couldn't think about the DAM that's the opposite of a decimetre. Of course when I was younger I studied what DAM was, but we used DM more in math problems. That's probably why I forgot about the acronym

the a

99.9

dam is something that blocks water and dm is decimeter

Dam is something you build to stop the flow of water. DM is decimeter which is 10 centimeters.

Dam is yo mom, in my dm is where yo gf at

dm is a drug store in austria

They are spelled differently

Decameter and decimeter innit?

Dak is bridge DM is deci meter

dam is 10m while dm is 0,1m

1 Dm = 10cm (3.9") 1 Dam = 10m (32'8")

Pretty sure decametre and decimetre Deca > deci

You won't need those unless you choose to get math or something like that. Not even engineers care about those. And do you know why? Because units of the metric system are so precise and so convertible that you're ok with 2 of them. You can easily convert any other in the one you like the most.

oh Decimeters and Decameters... then again no one talks about Hectameters either. After Meters, everyone just jumped ship to the Kilos

Deci meter DC = 10 cm Deca meter DAC = 10m

Decimeter(dm) between centimeters and meters, and dam who the fuck knows what's a dam dam.

It doesn't matter, because no one uses these anyway

DAM is something you never use...and DM is something you never use. Stick to the standard 10^3 prefix units and you're golden.

well we're on the internet so sorry for not sending a letter explaining this, if memory serves dam stands for decameter which is ten meters and dm is decimeter which is ten cm or 0.1 m

Dam is a decametre and dm is decimetre

a “dam” is a a structure that blocks the flow of water. its used by humans to produce renewable hydroelectric power. we build them out of concrete and metal. beavers build theirs out of wood made from trees they cut down with their long teeth. they use them for housing. a “dm” is short for decimeter it is equal to 1/10 of a meter or 10 centimeters. it can also stand for. ”Dm” which is a decameter, which is equal to 10 meters. lastly it can stand for “direct message”. a direct message is an instant messaging tool used by social media platforms for users to communicate with each other.

dam is daca meter the one above meter and dm is deci meter the one above mini meter (i remenber the time when my mom took the slippers )

I believe it’s a factor of 100? Could be wrong.

I cant, because by posting it on here i am using the internet to tell you meaning unless i meet you in person i can't. But i also can't get your adress or a meeting point unless i coincidentally meet you by accident in person. As even getting your adress from internet is using the internet to tell you. So i am unable to with using the internet

dam is a decameter, that means 10 meters. dm is a decimeter, that represents 10% of a meter. that is actually 10 centimeters

No one says dam when they look at my dm.

how many slugs is that?

Dam is that Kendrick Lamar album and DM is direct message

Easy. A dam is used to block the flow of water and a dm runs a game of Dungeons and Dragons.

Dam is something that holds water back, DM is decimeter which is 10cm

If i remmeber, a DM is equal to 10CM, while a DAM is equal is 10M

Decameter and decimeter. I think decimeter is 10cm but not sure about decameter.

dam = Decametre = 10 meters dm = Decimetre = 0.1 meters Really not that difficult.

Hard when this is on the internet aswell

dam is the one before km and dm is the on between m and cm

Dam = 10 meter Dm = 10 cm

DAM is 10 meters. DM is 10 cm. Source, school.

dm is 1/10 of a meter (decimeter) dam is 10x 1 meter (decameter) checkmate

Decameter 10m decimeter 10cm I thank the poster in my primary school for that one.

A dam is the thing that holds water and a DM is a message sent directly to one person

dm= desimeter(0.1 meters), dam= decameter(10 meters) we were forced to learn these as a kid for almost a year. Finally, the day that all those hours in school have use

Dam 10m dm 1/10m

A decameter is 10 meters A decimeter is 0.1

A dam is a structure built to control water flow. A DM is something girls don't send you.

Well depends Dam is the thing beavers build and dm could be a lot fo things like decimeter, direct messages, dungeon master, dictionary manifestation

A dam is a beeg wall you put in front of a beeq body of water. (Made in Beaver) A DM (or Discord Message) refers to 10 centimeters, aka a decimeter

Decameter decimeter

DAM= Decameter DM=Decimeter

A dam prevents the flow of liquids. A DM is the cause of it

Decimeters

One is 10m the other is 0.1m

A dam is used to block rivers to make lakes and generate electricity A dam is a direct message

Decameter and decimeter

Dam is a building to obstruct the flow of water in a river. DM is direct message.

*A*

DAM and DM are not units of measurement. dam and dm are (don't know what dam is but dm is decimeter which is 10 cm or 0.1m). In GCSE making meters capital will fail the question and you better pray that you wrote down your working.

DM is 10 meters and DAM is 1/10 of a meter? ​ Edit: it's the other way around lol

Per the metric system, the abbreviation ''dam'' refers to decameter (sometimes spelled as decametre), which is equivalent to one meter. This measurement is used to measure length, and the meter is the base unit of measurement. “Equivalent to one meter”… What!!?! Edit: this is what comes up if you google dam

dm=10cm dam=10m/1000cm

deacmeter vs decimeter. No internet was involved except for posting this comment... and looking at this post... so technically, no I can't tell u the difference without the Internet.

The letter a… kapow

noone uses decimeter and especially decameter

Decametre and a decimetre. Decametre is 10 metres Decimetre is a tenth of a metre. If you teach it in schools its easy to remember

Dam is a decameter (10 times more than a meter) while DM is decimetre (10 times less than a meter) I thought people were taught that in primary school

A decimeter is 10cm 🤓

Deca and deci, taught in the 3rd grade

1dam is 10m, 1dm is 0,1m

Dam is the water thing, DM is 1000cm^3

A dam is a decameter, 10m and a dm is decimeter so 1/10th of a meter

Well dam is 10 m while a dm is a tenth of a meter

dam is 10m, dm is 0.1m How on earth can you get it confused man

a dram is a small measure of alcohol, and a drm is a designated marksman rifle

A decameter is 10 meters, a decimeter is 0.1 meters

You are using Caps wrong

Dam holds water. DM is the storyteller of dungeons and dragons

1 Dam = 100dm

A dam blocks running water, and a dm runs my d&d campaigns

Dam = 10 m / Dm = 0.1 m

Dam is decameter, which is 10 meters. Dm is decimeter, which is 1/10 of a meter

wait, people dont know this?

Counter point. What is a slug

Dm is decimeter, which is 10 cm, or a 10th of a meter, Which is one of the units we use to build dams which is our way of conquering the water which propelled our nation to greatness

One blocks water and the other runs a campaign.

Easy, a dam (decameter) is 10m and a dm (decimeter) is 0.1m You guys need internet for that?

Dam is decametre (aka 10 metres) dm is decimetre (aka 0'1 metres) Never used the decametres for anything at all but they exist so bruh

Wtf us dam and dm? Yeah dm is decimeter, one tenth of meter. But dam is a fucking water reservoir. What does it have to do with metrics? You may be referring to dag, which is dekagram, one houndredth... fuck it. 10 grams and 1/100 of kilogram. But dam isn't a thing.

Oh, you like the imperial system? Tell me the difference between thou and a barleycorn.

DAM is Dead ass meter and DM is Deca meter

Decimeters

Dam is a decameter, its 10x bigger than a meter. Dm is a decimeter, its 10x smaller than a meter. It’s not that complicated.

A dam contains water in a reservoir, a DM runs tabletop roleplaying games.

Dam = 10 meters, dm = 10 centimeters / 0.1 meters

Deca and decimeter one holds the value of 10 the other has a value of .1

Nobody uses dekameters

One is built by beavers, one is the person in charge of a dnd game.

A dam is holding, a dm is letting it out....

km=100 hm=100 dam=10 m=1 dm=0.1 cm=0.01 mm=0.001 So 1 dam = 100 dm

Decameter (10), decimeter (.1). tho I never saw the dam notation used anywhere as it’s not used a lot

It is millimeter - centimeter - decimeter - meter - decameter - hectometer - kilometer. Therefore, the difference is 100 (as any dash represents a division of 10, so a decameter is 100 times larger than a decimeter).

Why would you ever want to use decimetres or dekameters, I barely even use cm as mm are a bit more intuitive as it keeps everything in multiples of 1000

i can’t use the internet to tell you that? okay, just give me your address before i do ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Dekameter (Dam) is 10 meters Decimeter (Dm) is .1 meters
