My feet are 0.83 feet long

[–] qisope@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago (3 children)

you're not legally allowed to call them feet then

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can get around those rules by spelling it wrong.

Pheet.

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Ok, my pheet are 0.83 pheet long

Much better

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Whatever king it was had really big feet though.

[–] n7gifmdn@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] ioney@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

83/100 feet

Unless you're doing any kind of precision manufacturing, then it's decimal inch notation.

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The steel that I cut has thickness measured in millimeters, the program wants it in fraction inches, and the torch spacing is in decimal inches. It's a catastrophe but Im getting pretty good at in/mm conversion

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

Doesn't markdown let you add alt-text in the form ![alt text](url) ?

edit3: no it def does

[–] capital@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Been wondering why people just upload with “image”.

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I try to always add useful alt text.

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] baronvonj@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] morrowind@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

Sync supports alt text on xkcd at least, not sure if it does for uploaded images.

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

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 36 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you smeeeeelllllllllll what it's cooking?

[–] agentshags@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago

Hopefully pizza, because I'm starving!

[–] qisope@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

astonishingly in the shape of a boulder

[–] doctorn@r.nf 30 points 2 years ago

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

Nature is amazing!

[–] CryptidBestiary@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

They're a small medium at large.

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years 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.

[–] BustinJiber@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Are we talking volumetric capybaras or massive capybaras?

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 2 years 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

[–] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Is it heavier than feathers tho?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Wilibus@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] TheMagicalTimonini@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

Bould of them to assume they know sizes.

Highway 145, mile marker 78.

Oh... Well that's just annoying.

[–] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Fortune favours the boulder.

[–] terminhell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] nevial@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Rubanski@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Is this Bob the Boulder?

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Looks bouldery enough to me

[–] krigo666@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Big words out of a small brain.
