Americans will use anything as a measurement unit except the SI, it seems
Orca is a bit obscure way to measure something. What would this be strawberries so we’re all on the same page?
How many strawberries in a banana?
4 metric or 5 short strawberries
I mean, I know Orcas are big, but I wouldn’t call 84 of them mooshed together “titanic”
Yeah, the comparison is straight up odd. 84 busses? Sure. A shit ton of watermelons, ok. How many of us see orcas enough to use as a frame of reference?
@ada I asssume it was the Jerusalem Post, and not NASA, who decided to convert meters to orcas?
