Man gave his height in meters and his weight in kg unprompted, we just don't do that in America.

I'm the American (and yeah, the portion looks small, but I'm 2.43m and 120kg)

No, you're not 2.4m. That would be 8ft.

[–] OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You would be correct. I'm not 8ft, just tired and lacking attention span to do basic math. Thank you for the correction

you don't need math to give your height properly, just a metre stick or measuring tape

[–] OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe 1 points 4 months ago

I know my height, didn't know it in metric, remembered the conversion incorrectly, posted that. Hope that helps clear up the confusion

If you aren't trolling, you are ludicrously tall.

You would be significantly taller than most doors.

[–] OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

No no, I wasn't trolling, just stupid and on lunch and somehow remembered a teacher laying two foot-long rules down and saying it was a meter

Ignore me, about 2 meters total. 6 feet and 5 inches

...

A meter is almost exactly the same as a yardstick. Why would anyone use two rulers?

[–] OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe 3 points 4 months ago

I got my education in a rural town of a backwoods region. They had a drive your tractor to school day. A lot of kids took the first day of bow or gun deer hunting off. I also don't think he had a yardstick, this wasn't a math class and so he had no business talking about units of measurement.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He had to use 2.43 rulers.

To get one of those cut off measurements, google yardstick rule 43

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Fair enough, lol.

2 meters is tall but not crazy tall like 2,4 m
