If only there were a more convenient way to express 0.1cm.

Unsolicited dick pics are generally frowned upon...

It's approximately 0.00000497 Furlong

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

It's about 1/76th the height of a Big Mac from McDonald's.

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

American or European?

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

Big Macs are a measure of weight not distance. Though you can also use them as a measure of force as long as you assume they are in 1G.

It's about one thirty-oneth attoparsec.

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

If I learned something from star wars is that parsec are a unit of time, so get out if here!

200000 beard-seconds tall.

How about 6.684587e-15 Astronomical Units?

[-] [email protected] 70 points 1 year ago

0.1 of a cm... Also known as a millimeter.

We have words you know.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

For the yanks, that's 1/60000th of a washing machine

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

But I need to know the length in first downs. Can you do the conversation?

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

What the crap kind of washing machine do you use that's 20 storeys tall?

It's easier to represent as 0.000001 km, imo.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I really think 0.000000001 Mm is clearer.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I prefer (3^2 -2^3 )^(1/2) /(10^9 )^-3 +(74^57 /2^37 /37^2 )/(2^20 *37^55 )-1 qm

[-] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

Why wouldn't they just say a millimeter? .1cm is something a non metric user would say.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's common for scientists to prefer a decimal point in their measurements because they are inherently limited precision, but "1 mm" leaves some ambiguity as to whether you meant 1.0 mm or 0.1 cm. It's a matter of significant digits, since leading zeros are ignored.

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

It is literally prefized with "roughly".

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

As an imperialist, i would have opted for 1/256"

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Tiny mushrooms spook me because all I can think of is them growing inside my lungs and on my body hooking me into the network

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Eat a bag of psilocybin mushrooms and think about why being plugged into the mushroom consciousness scares you...

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

That... Sounds like an awful thing to do

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

Both cute and deadly probably.

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

But you'd probably have to pick quite a few to get poisoned, if it even is poisonous :)

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

Hey there little fun guy!

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Let's play a game! It's called "Psychoactive or Deadly?"

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

Looks like those trichomes are starting to go amber, it's about time to harvest!

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

That's just about how small I like mushrooms cut in anything I eat.

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

ok but how does it taste?

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

If you are interested in this kind of stuff this is called Macro photography and it can be very complicated or confusing when you start but it's very rewarding and after you get the basics it's not hard. For some truly mind blowing photos I suggest you check out Alison Pollack on Instagram she has placed in several world wide macro photo Competitions and she specializes in fungi.

0.04" is about 3/64"

That's damned tiny.

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

Found the American! Now do feet, thumbs, eyelashes and football fields...

Gas fuck? Where?

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Isn't it slime mold and not a mushroom at all?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's a mushroom:

Mycena subcyanocephala is a species of fungus,[1] which has its habitat in the tropical parts of Taiwan. It has been spotted eight times. Mycena subcyanocephala is one of the smallest mushrooms in the world, with buttons about 1 mm tall. The species belongs to the Mycenaceae family, with Mycena interrupta being its closest relative.

It isn't, but you're right that slime molds can be this cool!
