This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Sorry thats 1.8E9nm tall and 8.5 stone. Hope thats easier for you to understand

[–] [email protected] 47 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The stone isn't since it's not metric but the height legitimately is since I can just drop the e9 and get a reasonable height.

Since, yknow, metric makes sense.

Well, as the „n“ just stands for „E-9“ it really just says 1.8 m

And the comment I replied to said to drop the e9 ...

Not if the girlfriend is an ant

I don't think you have ever measured an ant

1.8e9nm means 1.8*10^9nm, which is 1.8m.

It's funny, you try and be intentionally obtuse with the nano units, except doing it in metric doesn't work since "1.8" is still there.

Thanks, the nm were useful
