They meant to say "small car" but just made typo.
Happened five years ago so there's a bunch of articles about it.
Americans will use anything but metric
The Rules:
Posts must be a screenshot, crosspost, or link to someone using a bizarre unit of measurement (33 lanes wide, as heavy as 10 semi-trucks, etc.)
Standard units are not allowed, unless it's a sufficiently bizarre usage of the unit (this is up to mod discretion.)
Intentionally terrible units are completely fine! Satire is welcome here
Curses are fine, slurs are not. If there are slurs in something you want to post, please blur them, or reconsider posting.
Flag NSFW content as such. NSFW words in these posts don't need to be censored.
Post titles should be just the unit of measurement used (not the thing being measured!), and should be the full name of the unit (Apples and Bags of Apples imply very different things!) NSFW units should be partially censored. If there are multiple units, list as many as you want. If the source is satire, the title should start with [Satire]
In the comments be civil, both to each other AND the subject of posts.

I want to see a car as small as this rock.
Here you go friend
They're just trying to make the large boulder feel good about its body jesus christ guys lay off.
Damn pioneers parking their boulders wherever they please. No respect.
Can't park here mate
It looks like it's only about a hogshead. I wouldn't call that the size of a small boulder.
What kind of megafauna hogs do you have where you live?
Mod nitpick- the unit is small boulder, not large boulder.
How much is that in football fields per square fathom?
I was working near here when this happened and never heard of this. Incredible mistake 😁
All cops are idiots.
it's compressed
Reads like AI.
No, it doesn't. It's just a simple mistake. LLM would never abbreviate mile marker "mm" without specific instruction to do so.
I also remember this post making the rounds way before a.i. was able to write a coherent sentence, so yeah it's not a.i.
