Is that a standard Carlos, or an imperial Carlos?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Given that South America has a greater native genetic pool but still mixed genealogy, International Standard would be adept.

I'm not good with car sizes, how many Dr Pepper is that ?

This is Stupendemys geographicus from Urumaco, Venezuela, and Rodolfo Sánchez from Coro, Venezuela.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Thank you!

So why did it say Carlos? Just to make a joke on 'car'?

Carlos looks like a cool guy. We should use Carlos in more measurements.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Idk... is Carlos an SI-compatible unit? Because if not, this could be any size. Maybe he is a dwarf, maybe a giant. It could be anything! /j

Okay but is Carlos standing on a platform with a wall behind him, or is Carlos planking on a platform with the floor behind him?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

He's just lying on a box sticking his legs out.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

I came to ask if we were witnessing the plank master at work. Glad I wasn't the only one.

I really hope Carlos is getting paid to work there. Bet he has abs of steel, though! Dudes rockin' washboard abs but is far too modest to show them off.

How many football fields is Carlos?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

About 3/200 of a football field, or roughly 24 Big Macs.

I'm disappointed that nobody here has asked the right question yet:

How many Smoots is a Carlos?

Having accidentally stood between a galloping leatherback and the ocean, I can confirm that some turtles are still as big as cars, or at least they look a lot like it when approaching you at 40mph.

Thank you, Carlos.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Need a longer Carlos. This Carlos is too short for accurate measurement.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How big is Carlos though? My man could be 6cm.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Five Carlos

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Which one is which?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Teenage Mutant Dumptruck Turtle?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Looks like he's laying next to a giant Tollhouse cookie.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

How large per Carlos squared?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure that one’s turtley enough for the turtle club.
