WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER

FlyingSquid OP ,

It’s a device for measuring kilos, obviously.

I don’t know, but I do know what a kilometre is!

SlopppyEngineer , (edited )

About 1000 yard.

Or very roughly 100,000 barleycorn.

Americans might know it as the more accurate “tunsend of corn kernels”. Or similar to a “heft of wayfarer”, or a “diggerty of pebbly straw silk”.

But how many hamburgers is a kilometer

MewtwoLikesMemes ,
@MewtwoLikesMemes@lemmy.world avatar

Well, let’s say the typical minimum diameter of a burger patty is 2 inches, and the typical maximum diameter is 6 inches, with a mean of about 4 inches:

That would mean that, depending on the diameter of the patty, and assuming all patties are the same diameter, 1 kilometer equals approximately 6 562–19 685 burger patties, with a mean of 9 843.

(All values were rounded up to the nearest integer.)

Isn’t the measurement usually in bananas?

radicalautonomy ,

I’m commenting here to follow in case someone replies with images similar to OP’s featuring Kilometer changes to Rod Serling, 2 Chainz, and Eddie Furlong.

saltesc ,

It’s a device that measures things in thousands. A kilometer would say a kilometre is 1000 metres. I’ve bulk ordered 1000 meters if you’d like one.

But America usually down with making black men into 3/5s of a person!

Nelots ,

Woah there buddy, get out of here with your woke agenda. Best America can do is 1/5th, take it or leave it.

pachrist ,

Wow. We’d be lucky if that were true today. With slavery, it’s 3/5, but with things gerrymandered correctly, it’s essentially 0/5.

SatansMaggotyCumFart ,

Wait until you hear of 1.609 Kilometre Davis.

This is the first convincing argument I’ve ever seen for imperial.
