Man it's been 2 days since I saw this and it fucking gets me every time. 🀣

Now every time I remember how tall I am, I also* remember this.

Don't disturbe the enemy when it is making a mistake.

All these comments, and I'm wondering who would ask someone about their height like this...it's pretty easy to estimate someone's height just by observation.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

Eh, I've seen it as a smalltalk topic, to just want to know what the height is precisely, especially when someone is particularly tall.

Question, why do Europeans measure height in meters then centimeters(or just centimeters). It seems to make more sense to use decimeters then centimeters. Just one of those traditional things?

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (4 children)

I'm trying to think of anything measured in decimeters.

Yeah, basically habit of using two digits precision whenever the meter is too big. Conveniently, the first two digits are centimeters. This comic is weird because our dude is using centimeters above 100 and adds millimeters and 10th milimeters to his length, must have been bald shaved at a precision doctor to get these numbers.
