A comm for Lord Of The Rings Memes!

Rules:

  1. Follow the ToS of Piefed.social

  2. Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

  3. AI content will be removed at moderator discretion. We ultimately want to keep AI content in this comm to a minimum, so while unknowingly sharing an AI meme might not always merit a removal, things like AI videos and the like will generally be removed.

I was thinking a metric buttload, but a ton is fine ;)

[โ€“] certified_expert@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But which buttload? England or american?

Oh, right, english would be "buttock", which is 0.897 american buttloads; because americans are fatter

More like 108 gallons, which are the same in both places. That's roughly 491 liters

Edit: a butt is a unit of measure. Seriously, that's where boatload comes from

What? A butt is a unit? Hahaha, what's next, feet? /s

It used to be. Kinda fell out of regular usage, though I've been told you can run into it with wines here and there
