I honestly have no idea how big a football field (never been to one) is so this nit helping much.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

A football field is generally bigger than a standard banana and a carpenter ant is smaller than a standard ('b' + 'a' + + 'a' + 'a').toLowerCase();

[–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 months ago

You have an extra 'a'

A football field is less than one Texas. Hope this helps.
