      According to experts from NASA’s Johnson Space Center, the meteor in question was just over 60 centimeters in diameter and weighed half a ton (or around 454 kilograms).

      The headline is entirely from the Jerusalem post. In Israel.

    We will use any, and I do mean anything, other than metric as units of measurement. I think because if you do so much as measure a meter, you’ll start sucking dick and change genders or something.

      Can confirm. I started working at an Asian automotive manufacturer using metric measurements and I came out as bi and started HRT within two years. We need to shine a light on the straight man to bisexual metric femboy pipeline that’s destroying America!

        Obviously you don’t need to answer because it’s not your job to educate anyone about your identity, much less a random stranger. But I’ve never heard of hrt for a man-to-femboy. Would you consider yourself cis? Is femboy your gender identity, or do you consider yourself a boy who just chooses to present feminine? (I’m agender so I don’t even know what it’s like to identify as anything at all!)

          I actually just thought the phrase “metric femboy” sounded funny. I could have probably used “metric catgirl” and it would have been more accurate.

          Serious answer: Femboy is sort of an intermediate step of sorts for me bc I haven’t come out publicly yet. I definitely identify as trans though.

          I love how this image is simply getting more and more traction to meme US measurement units. Every time I see a meme about the measurement units, there is at least one comment about this, and if not, I’m doing my part!

      I’m pretty sure a corgi is an international unit of measurement.

      Just says corgi so I’d assume an average one. They’d probably have said if it was bigger, and gone to a slightly larger dog like perhaps a beagle or a cocker spaniel

          Perhaps we could break it down a bit, enforce a smaller dog as a sort of standard unit in cases like these eg a Yorkshire terrier or a chihuahua for instance

              I’m not sure about mixing dog units like that tho, could get confusing. What’s the conversion between corgis and chihuahuas?
