No units -> my brain reads those numbers as ages...

Those elves are too young to be dating.

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Going by which lore though. In D&D 5e, Elves reach adulthood by 100 years of age.

[-] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 month ago

Whichever one is funniest.

So... Keebler.

If anyone is interested, here is the original (I think):

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 62 points 1 month ago

lmao that's much more perfect than the version I posted

I think not, I like the anime version

[-] BigPotato@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Anime woman looks more mad though. Like I wouldn't want to turn my back on her after the picture. Real person looks on the verge of tears. Less like she's going to kill me, therefore less attractive.

Women: I only date TALL men!

Tall men:

[-] Cossty@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Isnt 188 cm just barely 6'2? Not 6'4.

[-] Fleur_@lemm.ee 66 points 1 month ago

Finally a height meme where I can understand the heights given

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 17 points 1 month ago

What heights?

I don't see any heights mentioned.

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No height, just a very old couple

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 56 points 1 month ago

I immediately thought they were talking about weight.

[-] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 73 points 1 month ago

Weirdly, I thought years. Like these were elves or something.

I've been playing too much D&D, I need to spend some time in the real world.

[-] OCATMBBL@lemmy.world 33 points 1 month ago

I assumed a vampire anime.

Reminds me of a Billy Crystal joke.

105 year old man and his 99 year old wife go to the judge to ask for a divorce.

"Are you sure that you want a divorce at your ages?"

"Yes, your honor, we haven't been happy for a while and it's time to end things."

"Why did you stay together for so long?"

"We were waiting for the children to die."

6'6" (247.5 Oreo Cookies for those of you who use that measurement). My wife is 5'1" tall.

When I was growing up my mom would always say "the tall girls are going to love you!" Every tall girl I ever asked out shot me down in flames.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I am 5'5" I have been flirted with by a surprisingly high number of near or above six foot women. The weird part is that most of them have known damned well I have the emotional capacity of a irate toaster in a research facility. Also I only get that they were flirting years later.

For anyone else using reasonable units that's 198,12 cm and 154,94 cm respectively.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 month ago

for everyone who actually uses metric, that's 198 cm, and 155 cm respectively :)

This post is lit because of the cm measurements.

[-] solrize@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Height in centimeters? I don't entirely get this.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 83 points 1 month ago

It's what most of the world uses. Tea-ville and Yeehawland are the only two that typically use imperial still.

[-] Skua@kbin.earth 49 points 1 month ago

We don't even use the same type of imperial either

If France could just lie for a few years and say that they're adopting the British system, it might persuade us to finally metricise properly out of spite and I'd be extremely grateful to them

[-] manucode@infosec.pub 11 points 1 month ago

In Germany, we usually express height in meters and centimeters, like 1 meter 58 or 1 meter 88.

Not just tea-ville, but former tea-ville colonies also measure human height in feet and inched. And former tea-ville colonies make up a large portion of the human populace.

Height in centimeters?

Yeah, it's in centimeters. 158 cm is 0.000853132 and 188 is 0.00101512 in nautical miles, if that helps any.

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Alternatively, as a smaller scale, 158 cm and 188 cm are only 0.01727909011373578 and 0.020559930008748905 football fields, respectively. Hope this helps.

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 22 points 1 month ago

Yeah I had to read it twice to figure it wasn't years. And I use metric, so I know exactly how tall these two are but for some reason it didn't click on the first read

[-] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 16 points 1 month ago

It would be easier if it was 1.88 and 1.56 :)

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago

I think the anime picture adds to it. I thought it was about the "my witch girlfriend is actually 500 just in a childs body so its not pedophilia"

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

It doesn't help that they didn't state their units.

It's nothing. Without a unit those are just numbers. A can of coke isn't 12, it's 12floz.

Or so my metric companions don't shit themselves in their panic-induced rage at the sight of imperial units, a coke can isn't 355, it's 355mL.

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'll accept the lowercase L (in my East Coast based US education we were taught liters should also be capital L, but that seems to either be flat-out incorrect or have fallen out of fashion), but googling images of the cans shows me no space between the number and the unit.

[-] gentooer@programming.dev 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I hadn't even noticed that you didn't put a space between the number and the unit. Looking it up online, the Bureau international des poids et mesures states that a space is to be used in front of all units, except for °, ' and ". Dropping the space is very common though.

[-] Vespair@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

It's cool to learn the official guidelines; thanks for doing the legwork here!

[-] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

No, in feet, they're actually giants.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Practice using metric. Not kidding, as an American it’s sometimes frustrating but most things are available in metric and there is a quite large convenience factor

A difference of ~11" 4/5ths, or about 6' 2" vs 5' 2". 📐

Gosh I love Edelgards design
