When you ask a British guy how much he weighs but he starts counting the rocks on the floor.

British people are annoying more likely to reply in imperial units to this question.

[–] Palerider@feddit.uk 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, but we use Stones to measure body weight.

Oh then I was being dense. I actually use kg because I'm of a generation that was only taught that and have no internal conception of stones :(

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ask a british person if they know about stones and they'll answer in kg/m³

Ok, but what's heavier, a kilogram of steel or a kilogram of feathers?

[–] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The feathers. They carry the weight of what you did to those birds.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My scale doesn't account for that. Where did you get yours?

[–] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My scale doesn't either but I can feel it when I pick them up.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

...I'm not making Nonna's ragu over here. I need precision here.
