10.5ft = 10' 6"

10' 6" = 1.8806 Smoots

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

1.8806 " 1880.6 microsmoots. Approximately one kit without the kaboodle.

[-] scutiger@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

That would be millismoots, not microsmoots.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah in metric but Edwin Schenedererer who came up with the system confused the two in his initial proposal and the convention stuck. It wasn't until years later when he published The theory of lesser Smoot that he corrected his mistake.

I'm American, I had to look this up 0.0292 football fields = 128 goldfish crackers

I am sorry can I get that in cheese burgers.

Why has no one demanded a banana for scale?

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Goliath predates bananas. They have no validity as a measurement in this circumstance.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Bananas were apparently first cultivated 7000 years ago, so I'm afraid, based on Biblical chronology, that Goliath post-dates the banana (which predates the creation of the universe) and thus a banana for scale is a valid measurement for his height, as it is the standard reference for scale according to science I just made up.

[-] Everythingispenguins@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Fucking bananas I bet they were responsible for the creation too. Never trusted those fuckers.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

TIL that both football and Oliver Smoot's fraternity pledge predate bananas.
