Well don’t blame the scientists. They measure in meters. It’s the journalists trying to make things relatable to readers at a fifth grade level.
We are talking about Daily Mail readers.
My bad, third grade level.
my Liege
If daily mail readers could read, they’d be very angry.
True, but we need to stop dumbing down shit for lazy morons.
If only we had units to measure the volume and weight of items.
I wonder how many cubic Smoots half a giraffe is 🤔
Just say it’s the size of a moose
Pretty damn sure there is some animal half as big as one of these long dudes
A moose
Just take a giraffe and roll it into a ball. About that big.
Americans keep insisting on using anything but the metric system
I think The Daily Mail is British.
Well its pretty obvious. its all messurements of a Giraff that are halfed H x W x L
Yeah, obviously. It’s just the most common everyday example of size!
