This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I feel like he would be dead around 480lbs

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 23 points 1 day ago

If anon wasn't a customary-unit-tard and went with nice SI hectograms he'd had survived to the 1080 with only mild obesity.

Still would be dead though.

Just use Dekagram for the 5090.

Never heard of lb, what does it mean?

And how does it compare with normal metrics?

[–] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 11 points 1 day ago

I means pound.

It really is obvious that the abbreviation for pounds comes from the Latin word for the instrument used to measure pounds when the unit was originally established, a Libra which means scales or balance.

I really don't get how people can't keep up. /s

Using kilograms would have save him from this attempt... Protect your kids, adopt international units.

[–] blackberry28@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What? With kg he would need to be over twice as fat. Cos u know, 480kg is over two times 480 pounds.

[–] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Hectograms would’ve worked fine though. Admittedly 480 hg is pretty much starvation for a regular sized man, but more attainable than 480 kg.

[–] peacepath@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

if you are a bit above 400 pounds you may want to push a bit to reach 480. If you are 200kg, adding 280kg for the joke would seem to hard... and so the cycle would not start.
