Good thing there was a circle and an arrow. I never would have spotted it without both.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 31 points 10 months ago

Even the arrow has a circle.

Me too pup, me too.

That dog is shitting all over the sofa soon.

Too relatable

[–] CandleTiger@programming.dev 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It’s funny but for non-dog people: this is actually measuring something. If your dog is so upset that cheese is not interesting then that is a very upset dog.

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 9 points 10 months ago

This is also true for humans.

Source: I'm nervous but like cheese

[–] Buckshot@programming.dev 8 points 10 months ago

yeah this is my dog. at the vet last week he knew something was about to happen and was absolutely not interested in cheese.

After he had his vaccines and it was all over, so much more relaxed, would eat cheese again.

I agree, someone should have highlighted it, this is just confusing.

Either that or they include sex in the age column

[–] DNOS@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

Lmao didnt though of that 🤦🏻

That would be 1.691207e-15 light years. Unfortunately I don't know how to convert to dog years

[–] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 months ago

I'll give it a shot, but I think it will make more sense for me to make the conversion from meters to years without using light years. I'm a chemist, not a physicist and don't want to look up the conversions I don't remember.

The sun travels ~940,000,000 km/human year...

= 940,000,000 km/yr × 1000 m/km = 940,000,000,000 m/yr

= 940,000,000,000 m/yr × 1 year/365.256 days

= 2573537464.1 m/day × 1 day/24 hr × 1 hr/60 min × 1 min/60 s

= 29786.3132423 m/s

16 m × 1 s/29786.3132423 m = 0.000537 s (human)

The dog is about half a millisecond old (in human years).

I found some human-to-dog years calculator online that cites a scientific paper. The formula it uses is:

Human years = 16 × ln(Dog years) + 31

Therefore... Dog years = e^(((Human Years-31)^)/16)

To use the dog calculator, it's easier to start back at m/yr.

16 m × 1 year/940,000,000,000 m = 1.70212765E−11 human years

Human to dog years = e^(((1.70212765E−11)^-31)/16)

= 0.14406 dog years x 365.524 dog days / 1 dog year

= 52.6 dog days.

The human to dog year equation isn't meant for times less than 0.001 human year, so take the dog days number with a grain of salt.

Hopefully I didn't mess anything up along the way, I did this all on the phone and it's harder to double-check than on paper!

It's just a really tall dog.
