Is that a standard Carlos, or an imperial Carlos?

[–] 3laws@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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

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

Thank you!

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

Behold, dog!

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

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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?

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

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

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago

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

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

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?

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

How many Smoots is a Carlos?

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

1 smoot, +- an Ɛar

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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.

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

Teenage Mutant Dumptruck Turtle?

[–] mriormro@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Thank you, Carlos.

[–] EchoCranium@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

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

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Which one is which?

[–] MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago
[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

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

[–] frankgrimeszz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

How large per Carlos squared?
