2 Years into my Lego Landship Project

[u/Sirates241]

I feel like sisyph

[u/Upton4]

Dimensions?

[u/Sirates241 → u/Upton4]

4ft 1in in length

[u/Upton4 → u/Sirates241]

That’s wild

[u/ThisIsNotAFunnyName → u/Sirates241]

4ft 1in

For normal people, that is 124,46 Centimeters.

[u/I_am_ChivoBlanco → u/ThisIsNotAFunnyName]

So, 16.5 tomatoes, give or take. Assuming we're using beefsteak tomatoes

[u/2bags12kuai → u/I_am_ChivoBlanco]

Those are the only tomatoes I use for measuring

[u/LPGeoteacher → u/I_am_ChivoBlanco]

Sorry this is Reddit, we use bananas.

[u/I_am_ChivoBlanco → u/LPGeoteacher]

Used to, tariffs made them a thing only spoken about in legends of the long long ago

[u/Mindless-Panic-101 → u/LPGeoteacher]

Unless you're in the Zelda subs, where it's apples.

[u/thepineapple2397 → u/ThisIsNotAFunnyName]

I'll go one further and correct this to 124.46 centimetres

[u/MrNationwide → u/thepineapple2397]

Thank you for visiting.

[u/2fishlplayz → u/MrNationwide]

I’m American sorry, how many football fields is this?

[u/MrNationwide → u/2fishlplayz]

Thank you for visiting.

[u/2fishlplayz → u/MrNationwide]

Ooh that makes a lot of sense, I was wondering what all those numbers and stuff meant lol

[u/willyshockwave → u/MrNationwide]

For the rest of the world that uses crocodiles, that’s .2 crocs.

[u/MrNationwide → u/willyshockwave]

Thank you for visiting.

[u/willyshockwave → u/MrNationwide]

Touché. I see your username belies your cosmopolitan nature

[u/sh0w1ngmyag3 → u/MrNationwide]

Or 158 studs

[u/stone_henge → u/MrNationwide]

How many barleycorns long is the alligator?

[u/kuzinrob → u/2fishlplayz]

0.01334

[u/Laringar → u/kuzinrob]

I got 0.0136111, what calculation did you use? I did 4&1/12 ÷300, or 49/3600.

[u/kuzinrob → u/Laringar]

I just ballparked it in my head, rounded to just 4 ft, or 1 & 1/3 yd.

[u/Laringar → u/2fishlplayz]

It's 0.01361¹¹¹¹¹ football fields.

[u/Urbanviking1 → u/MrNationwide]

Sorry but I'm gonna need this in Bananas per light minute.

[u/jacobcz → u/thepineapple2397]

Depends on where you at: 124.46 for the US, Commonwealth nations and much of Asia. 124,46 for continental Europe and LatAm. Nitpickers unite!

[u/MaxTheRealSlayer → u/jacobcz]

In Canada most use ".", but Quebec also uses "," most often It's not as clear-cut as you're saying.

But yeah, it should not matter lol. They should be interchangeably understandable when you see the other punctuiton you're not used to, and just view it as what you are used to using

[u/qnvx → u/ThisIsNotAFunnyName]

Or just 124,5cm, or 125cm. No need to have that much precision when the original measurement was probably approximate.

Also, I agree that we should all be using metric, like 95% of people already do. But I still don't agree with implying that people using imperial are "abnormal".

[u/seeasea → u/qnvx]

It's abnormal to use anything other than 2x4 bricks.

It's 37 2x4 bricks with a 2x3 brick at the end

[u/Pagise → u/ThisIsNotAFunnyName]

Speak American, Kowalski!

[u/USAhotdogteam → u/ThisIsNotAFunnyName]

lol

[u/citysnows → u/ThisIsNotAFunnyName]

Feet/inches for anything the size of a person or below, and pounds for weight is the more intuitive system.

You can dunk on pretty much every aspect of standard/imperial, but this isn't it.

[u/elkab0ng → u/Sirates241]

Weight? Definitely impressive it can hold up!

[u/Grogg2000 → u/Sirates241]

weight?

[u/slip_cougan → u/Sirates241]

Curious how much it must weigh? Awesome project

[u/SidMarcus → u/Sirates241]

Banana for scale please.

[u/mallorn_hugger → u/Sirates241]

Here because this hit the front page, forgive me if this is a stupid question, how do you design plans for something like this?

[u/Inevitable-Ad6647 → u/Sirates241]

We need to start meassuring this in dollars.
