American discovers the metric system (Life series animatic) 

To be fair, Steve is also *massive*, so they are about right for his height lol

​@@kalebgray10502m tall guy with tree trunks for armz

Steve is like1,80 so not that huge

The scale and proportions makes a bit more sense if you imagine that a block is half a meter, but the players are dwarves.

​@@marioruiz5758he is 2m height and 1m wide... No he he is huge

Just rarer, here. They're not native and struggle with the sheer inertia of their competitors

A metre is still a meter in America

We call them "1.09361 of those little stripes in a Football Field."

That’s like saying an ostrich is still an ostrich in Antarctica. WHY WOULD AN OSTRICH BE IN ANTARTICA! no hate to grian at all, but this really got to me…

@@LunaiCarmen It's called international system for a reason lol

all i know is that its 5,280 feet.... bc of a stupid thing i picked up years ago 😂5 tomatoes

1 mile is 1609.34 Meters. 1 meter is 3.28084 feet.

@@littleperson8315That’s actually a sick pneumonic

⁠@@IzapcThunderThanks but that doesn’t clear a single thing up

Tbf its not like most people can visualise a kilometer either

Where ever you are?

@@orangekoala5897 for the most part, yes I can have a good idea of where something or someplace is if I’m familiar enough with the route to it. But otherwise I don’t have a good grasp length or distance. My brain is wired weirdly in that sense.

@@orangekoala5897 Don't worry, I got the reference, hahaha

Me

European: "it's a bit far" still able to bee seen at the other end of road. American: "I know that place, it's near my house" drives 15 minutes to get there.

actually in america it's an amerimeter which is approximately 1 football larger (this is a joke)

Yep, just like 70° Fahrenheit is still 70° Fahrenheit in Europe

@@whiverthewyverncat5872 exactly, although we don't use it

No no it’s one and a quarter washing machines

@@felixdeplanques3614 yes. We k iw

Makes sense. He's from Washington, we are literally neighbors with Canada. I'm from WA also. We were close enough to pick up Candian channels growing up. Often wondered why some shows would randomly be in French sometimes but you learn to ignore that stuff and just look for context clues.

@@Takisan111 I sometimes get asked from which state I'm from when playing online games and chatting... yet I'm Canadian lol! I think because I live near the border I must sound similar to folks on the other side. That and I guess I grew up watching a lot of american tv too :)

@@krynneI’m nowhere near the border and speak like a Canadian, and was born in Quebec yet still get asked what state I’m from LOL a lot of people just automatically assume American because that’s where a lot of gamers you meet are from for some reason

@@cephalonaural6854 The reason is America has 10 times the population of Canada, 5 times the population of the UK and 12 times the population of Australia. When such a large portion of the English speaking world is American, it's no surprise to see that question asked. Especially since Canadians don't sound all that different from Americans.

A meter is slightly longer than a yard, therefore a meter is about three feet.

@@Meals-sh9fs it's a conversion that works great until it doesn't.

​@@Meals-sh9fs A meter is three feet, three inches on the dot

@@RAFMnBgaming true that

​@@RAFMnBgaming what does work is 10.76sqft ~ 1sqm. Better approximation than 3 ft ~~ 1m

I learned something today!

that's also how i found out a metre is 3ft 😭

If you *really* want to get into the specifics, it's closer to 0.9 metres. Side notes: 1 mile is 1.6 Kilometres, and 'metre' is the British spelling, whereas 'meter' is the American spelling.

So 1 yard = 1 meter? Cool, now I can easily remember the size of a meter!

@@TearfulZorua Closer to 3'3" or 3'4".

Who's yard are you referring to? Mine is pretty small but I have seen some absolutely huge ones before.

Wait is that true? Yards are tiny af-

3.3 feet! (3.28, really, but who cares?)

Thanks I know a meters still a meter in American but I still didn't know the size of a meter.

@@treesintheseas did you mean to reply to another comment?

Thank you for some useful information.

I mean the hermits were laughing about it themselves so it's fine. A bunch of them were that small just cause they were sitting for the experience. Which is why ren was little as well.

​@@salamencerobotand then it is bigb who also was sitting but turned out giant for some reason

​@@johannaglatvedzannettos8406Maybe he was on a barstool. 😅

Moof I remember it as "Half of that six feet away" thing. 'Cause in America is was "Keep 6ft away", but in England it was "Keep 2m away".

I always remembered that it was just a little bit longer than a yard (stick.)

Yeah, it's kinda like saying Spanish is still Spanish in America. Telling me that won't make me know Spanish.

@@D_YellowMadness LOL! Yeah! That's fair!! >w

@@dcjokerhs a meter is essentially a yard, but slightly bigger(its 3.28 feet basically)

bruh

A yard is exactly 3 feet in other words just slightly less than a meter.

@@drafezard7315 I'm aware of the calculation and measurement now, but somehow despite having seen yard sticks in person during classes when I was younger, I always thought one yard was an entire American football field, the only thing I could think of as to how thid is, is that I was watching a movie or something and the amount of yards ran in a scene of the game was said so I took that into associating the field as a whole, with one yard. However beyond that I habe no idea. Also putting it that way has made me realize I underestimate how much space a Minecraft block would logistically take up, but in the video where Grian and Mumbo tried to make an IRL sand block (without taking into consideration that cardboard doesn't always kerp it's shape) so it was more of a sand cylinder thsn a block, but I swear if that's accurate a Minecraft block is smaller than a yard, unless a yard is one wall mat but the entire length for a football goal is three, no because we multiplied by three to get the length, well I'm just lost now. A shame the calculator application doesn't have permanent history that goes all the way back. Oh, my apologies for the rant, and thank you for your informative reply! I don't think I'm conscious enough for this however...

Commas, are overrated.

@@benrex7775 I don't understand how that could be the case when they're actively under utilized resulting in people constantly misreading things on the internet, taking things out of context, jumping to conclusions and assumptions with zero evidence or rational, ect. They're an extremely useful tool that allows for easier reading, more accurate reading comprehension, and thus clearer communication which is the fundamental foundation of all interactions. They also allow the writer to convey paused in thought or increase suspense. Just to list a few things. If you're reading this, thank you and have a fantastic rest of your year, along with all the ones to follow!😁 P.S. In case it wasn't entirely explicit, I'm just sharing some personal thoughts and observations because you gave me the motive to do so, that's all!

​@@japbstudios I'm glad I could inspire you to formulate your thoughts. I agree that commas serve an actual purpose. But I doubt they will help in any way with those things you listed here: _"people constantly misreading things on the internet, taking things out of context, jumping to conclusions and assumptions with zero evidence or rational, ect."_ My personal problem is that my native tongue is German. English and German have different comma rules. And by now I know neither of them anymore. Commas wasn't my strong suit to begin with and learning English with it's two approaches to commas messed everything up even more. The only comma I is the pay attention to is when it comes to parenthesis.

🦅 🦅 RAHH

Not sure if this is a reference to something, but 1000.

it was originally 1/10,000,000th of the distance from the north pole to the equator on a line passing through Paris, but was later redefined to the distance light travels in 1/299,792,458th of a second (which is a similar but slightly different distance)

Kudos on being the only one to actually answer this question. Edit: typo

It's no longer bound to a physical object and is now defined with universal constants such as speed of light. The last SI measurement that was defined by an object was a kilogram and was changed to a universal constant in 2018.

That's a tall person...

​@@BenLeeRulesnah, most people are like 1.6-1.8 meters tall

@@jadegreenleaf781 Exactly, 2 meters is tall person m8. Would make more sense to call a yard stick (about 92 cm) half a person tall.

@@drafezard7315 ...so 200cm is too tall, but 184cm is a perfectly fine height? you're delusional.

@@jadegreenleaf781 I never said anything about "too tall"... I just said 2m is tall for a person, which it is, it's well above average height. 184cm is much closer to average height you said so yourself. "delusional" someone's projecting hard.

imperial system is inferior

I don't see how it's inconsistent but ok. When you are use to a system it isn't torture to understand it. If anything it's torture to understand the system you aren't as used to.

its subjective, metric is easier for you because your more used to it, everyone in america thinks in feet for the most part. So dealing with feet is easier, I actually know what a meter is, but I can only imagine it by basing it off feet or yards. You say a meter, I hear 3.28 feet or slightly bigger than a yard.

@@redram6080 It's torture to understand every thing is a factor of 10? Bra... if you're too dumb to understand round numbers 10, 100 and 1000. How can are you smart enough to spell you're own name?

@@damackabet.4611 "Subjective" my ass. Can you tell me how many inches are there in 283.5 feet without using a calculator or pen and paper? Anyone can tell you how many centimeters are in 283.5 meters in an instant. Just remove the decimal point. It's 2835. You want millimeters? Just add a zero. It's 28350 mm. Now what's 28350 inches into miles? You have 3 seconds... time's up. How about 28350 mm into kilometers? Just move a decimal point up a few spots. It's 2.8350 km. Easy right? Can you do that with you shitty imperial system? Nope.

​@@drafezard7315silly ahh Americans still refusing to convert from a system that seems to be invented by a drunk mathematician
