@drmaddkap This would be the #Antarctican System of #Weights and #Measures?

@drmaddkap what type of penguins? Or is it the Penguin of Batman fame? Then again, which Penguin? Danny DeVito or Burgess Meredith?
So many questions!
I forgot about Waddle from the NFL and the running Penguin.

@drmaddkap Poor penguins... just trying to live their life. Can't catch a break. 😶

@drmaddkap @alexwild

Or “X” number of football fields long.

@drmaddkap To be fair I can picture exactly how big that asteroid is.

@drmaddkap … +++ …

@drmaddkap how many football fields is that?

@drmaddkap beware the penguins who march!

@drmaddkap US metric system hurts my sense of measurement as big as 5 horizontal pandas or 4 vertical giraffes

@drmaddkap Shouldn't have based the length of a meter on the height of a penguin. We don't have penguins in America. How were we ever going to find this intuitive? Instead we have the foot and my feet are exactly 1 foot (12 inches) long which is why it's intuitive. What isn't intuitive is that I wear a size 10.5 shoe. How is my 1 foot foot a size 10.5? This makes no sense.

@drmaddkap LOL

@drmaddkap Here is a good vid explaining why...

@drmaddkap It'd be fun to start describing things as the length of a futbol field, just to mess with the idiom.

@drmaddkap yeah it's kinda sad

@drmaddkap Are we talking flipper to flipper or mushed together shoulder to shoulder? So many questions.

@drmaddkap We can't go to the metric system because the km numbers on our speedometers are tiny. And, sadly, the number 32 would be meaningless and 0 means no temperature at all (!). Brrrrrrrr. It's actually COLDER in metrics!

@drmaddkap what is it in bananas though?

@drmaddkap Emperial penguins, surely.

@drmaddkap It's funny 'cause it's true.

@drmaddkap@meow.social
Yeah, but it got "Linux" on my desktop for a brief moment. That's something... ​:ablobcatblink:​

@drmaddkap which kind of penguin is the question. Emperor penguin or Southern rock hopper penguin :blobcatthinking:

@drmaddkap Yeesh, laid end-to-end that's about 18 otters.

@drmaddkap I don't understand the unit, surely 22 penguins is about the size of one seal?

I guess it depends which species you're talking about though, and how old they are.

@drmaddkap it does seem that way, lol.
