Every time I see this image posted, I have to point out there is 0 chance those are 4000 cm³. Those are like, 4x or 5x the size of a 4 L (1 gallon for you americans) milk jug, which actually are ~4000 ml. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 child) No there are 4000 cc's which is equivalent to about 4 l or just over a gallon. They're not saying that they were 4 cm squared but they were saying they liquid amount in them which is common for how much liquid is involved in a breast implant. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] quantumgenderino@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago I'm saying there is 0 chance the ones shown in the picture are 4000 cc.

No country used metric in medieval times, now It's mostly just the US that refuses to. It's their lack of experience that leads to abominations like "kph", "sqm", "kgf", "cc" or "MFD" (micro? milli? megafarad?). Only minor updates have needed to be made to the metric system: most recently the kilogram is no longer based on a piece if metal in Paris but constants of the universe. Unless you're weighing to 8+ significant figures, there is no difference. Meanwhile the US ton/metric ton (10%) and mile/nautical mile (15%) difference causes confusion somewhere every day. permalink fedilink source parent
