Alternatively, as a smaller scale, 158 cm and 188 cm are only 0.01727909011373578 and 0.020559930008748905 football fields, respectively. Hope this helps.
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.
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.
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
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
I guess one upside of living in a country that uses both metric and imperial frequently is that these things tend to click pretty quickly. The lack of consistency is annoying, though.
Height in centimeters? I don’t entirely get this.
Yeah, it’s in centimeters. 158 cm is 0.000853132 and 188 is 0.00101512 in nautical miles, if that helps any.

Sometimes, that 0.00328084th of a football field makes all the difference in the world…
millimeters, they are Irish
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.
It’s actually 355 ml.

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

I can tolerate distances in metric, but I draw the line at personal measurements!
not me. my banana seems way bigger in metric than imperial
5 cm is perfectly adequate according to my wife

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

No, in feet, they’re actually giants.
Yes
