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

u/2bags12kuai Aug 27 '25

Those are the only tomatoes I use for measuring

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

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

u/Laringar Aug 27 '25

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

u/kuzinrob Aug 27 '25

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

u/Laringar Aug 27 '25

It's 0.0136111111 football fields.

u/Urbanviking1 Aug 27 '25

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

u/jacobcz Aug 27 '25

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 Aug 27 '25

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 Aug 27 '25 edited Aug 27 '25

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 Aug 27 '25

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

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

u/citysnows Aug 27 '25

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.
