Oh, I think I’ve seen this episode already.
Everything but metric, huh
Bruh. Did you read the article? It used a reference size once (school bus), imperial units twice (distances), and metric twice (depth and length of tentacles). Technically if we’re talking about the organism it used majority metric, and even had them in there twice (including literally under the title in the summary).
IT’S EVEN IN METRIC IN THE ARTICLE DESCRIPTION POSTED ON THIS PLATFORM.
That’s some serious bias to skip all that and pick out the one odd visual aid.
While I applaud you on your rigorous scientific standards… sometimes you just have to have a larf about it.
I was commenting on the title.
What does “a bus” bring instead of a measurement in meters? Nothing, so why put it as a title?
You’re the one deflecting, for some reason, and trying to ignore the title which is supposed to be the first thing you read.
Relatability. Science communication is itself a science, not just an endless stream of dry facts.
I relate more to meters than an arbitrary bus. And science communication is about making things clear as a priority, and this does the opposite.
It’s the size of a certain fraction of an American football field. How much more precise of a measurement do you need?!
… I was not ready for this jelly.
That body IS too bootylicious for me, babe.
some neural connections in my head that have been lying dormant for at least a decade just got teased a lttle
and now I want to listen to Edge of Seventeen, which Bootylicious sampled from
Oof imagine getting stung by that mofo. Ouch.
Curious what was on the Korean VHS tape
Beautiful specimen. In the article it mentions “big butt starfish”. In the image it looks like it coupd be cleavage. Like for reproduction. I mean, not like that. Asexual. Like…nevermind, I think you get it.
It’s okay. We don’t judge.
I am judging…
Hot.
That tinkling sensation you are feeling? Not arousal. Jellyfish venom.
And who says it can’t be both?
School of fish. How many football field is that if we are using anything but SI units?
Its four arms can reach up to 10 meters in length.
Says it right at the top of this page. Happy now?
That’s about 45 cucumbers, by the way.
There’s so much SI in that article…
Am I correct assuming that it isn’t tasty and most probably even is completely inedible?
It is extremely delicious and makes your teeth whiter.
Nope sluuuurrrrrrp

love American units “a School bus”. go Metroxpress already.
El País is headquartered in Madrid.
Size of a school bus? How many hamburgers is that?!
Sorry, only comes in cheeseburger units. And on artisan bread, so…
