My feet are 0.83 feet long

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (3 children)

you're not legally allowed to call them feet then

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can get around those rules by spelling it wrong.

Pheet.

Whatever king it was had really big feet though.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I hope you are joking. There are no decimals in standard measuring systems. Decimals are a Communist plot. ;-)

Alt: The character The Boulder from TV series "Avatar: The Last Airbender" captioned "The Boulder feels conflicted."

Been wondering why people just upload with “image”.

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

I try to always add useful alt text.

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

I'll definitely try and remember to do it moving forward, I didn't know about that feature.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't see any alt text in yours when I click the image in my mobile client.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's showing up in the html, maybe your image viewer doesn't show it?

Coloradan here. This tweet was a joke response from the sheriff's department to a previous incident where they described a large boulder the size of a large boulder blocking the road.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Update: I was wrong. The officer meant to say "the size of a small car". The "larger boulder the size of a large boulder" tweet came later as a joke reference to this one.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Probably meant to write 'the size of a large car' originally?

I imagine a Venn diagram with small boulders on the left side and large boulders on the right and in the middle the one on the image

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's not just a boulder, it's a rock.

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

Do you smeeeeelllllllllll what it's cooking?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Hopefully pizza, because I'm starving!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

astonishingly in the shape of a boulder

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

I just realized I have a giant cat the size of a small cat...

Nature is amazing!

Would you rather fight a large small boulder, or a small large boulder?

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

This reminds me of the joke about the little person psychic who escaped jail.

They're a small medium at large.

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

Flows a bit better if you just use little psychic instead of little person psychic. Or maybe short psychic so it's not as obvious.

Looks something like 50 capybaras big?... more?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Are we talking volumetric capybaras or massive capybaras?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

50? 50! I can't imagine that large boulder the size of a small boulder is the same size as 50 of these?

spoilera group of capybaras sitting by some water

This is what happens when cops are in charge of their own social media.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Nah, this is what happens when society is more concerned with sensationalism than factuality.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It was a little boulder, such a little boulder, but it reminded me of a large boulder, yeah just in miniature size.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Bould of them to assume they know sizes.

Fortune favours the boulder.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

No, it's clearly the size of a small boulder

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
