I need to learn basic measurements, if I am ever going to decorate any place successfully! 🥔🥴

WTF no one told me that measurements were important for adulting, otherwise, I would have paid attention in math class.

@NerdyPotato 🥔❤️

Here's a helpful starter:

12 points to a pica
6 picas or three barleycorns to an inch
12 inches to a foot
3 feet to a yard
2 yards to a fathom
110 fathoms to a furlong
10 furlongs to a Kentucky Derby

If you need volume measurements, you'll need to understand gallons. There's the dry gallon AKA corn gallon. There's the wine gallon and the ale gallon. And of course Darth Vader's favorite - the imperial gallon!

@ElwoodBlues And then there’s weight. My favorite is the jelly bean. For example, I weigh 96,615 jelly beans, rounded off.
@Zaphod42 Some people prefer to do weight in stones; myself, I like the firkin.

@ElwoodBlues And it's tricky reading speed limit signs when they're in fpf -- furlongs per fortnight!

Don't go in asking for something yay big and wide...they just stare and blink a lot😒

@LilPrincess Actually, I did that at Best Buy, and they helped me get the perfect TV size 😂

I did once go into Home Depot asking for a thingamabob for thingamajig on my water heater...when he ask what size element I was like wait...you understood that😂

@deadgerbil We knew this when it came to Google. 🤭

@Degbeme NO ONE INVITED YOU TO THIS CONVO AND GOOGLE SEARCH IS DIFFICULT SO NOTHING FUNNY 🥔😡

@Degbeme I'd ask how tall she is but she probably doesn't even know

@BittersweetPotato so get your big potato panties on and math!
deadgerbil · 26-30, M
@basilfawlty89 auditors don't even know which way the sky is

If you want to learn basic measurements, learn from Americans:

@DrWatson 64 Canadian geeze 🥔😂 Not 65 nor 63. Very specific
DrWatson · 70-79, M
@BittersweetPotato Yes. NASA is very precise. That's how we got to the moon.

(whose distance from the Earth, in gooselengths, is......)
Zaphod42 · 51-55, M
It’s easy. I am 1.26 Danny DeVitos tall. The average room is 1.86 Danny DeVitos high at the ceiling and 2.46 Danny DeVitos in length and width.
Hope that helps! 😋

May I suggest some art to get it started.
BittersweetPotato · 31-35, F
@Captainjackass I will probably get something similar for the kitchen

You just need to know the standard conversion rate of spuds to the metre... Simply

Lostpoet · M
I only know Standard never really learned metric.
Zaphod42 · 51-55, M
@Lostpoet I just know the basics…30cm to a foot, 40 inches in a meter, 1.6km in mile, 7grams in a quarter ounce of weed… 🤷‍♂️
Get a tape measure.
