I want a world where riding a turtle is possible. It would bite my head off, but it would be worth it for 3 seconds

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Which one is which?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks ago

Carlos looks like a cool guy. We should use Carlos in more measurements.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Those are some nice slip-ons

But how many bananas tall is Carlos?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Looks about two and hald freedom eagles tall

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

Carlos

I really hope Carlos is getting paid to work there. Bet he has abs of steel, though! Dudes rockin' washboard abs but is far too modest to show them off.

You can literally see his beer belly, what are you on about.

Carlos is a master of deception!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Lmao. Fair enough xD

Idk... is Carlos an SI-compatible unit? Because if not, this could be any size. Maybe he is a dwarf, maybe a giant. It could be anything! /j

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Carlos is 5 meters.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Okay but is Carlos standing on a platform with a wall behind him, or is Carlos planking on a platform with the floor behind him?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Pretty sure he's just been hung vertically. For we know he's a stuffed exhibit

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

He's just lying on a box sticking his legs out.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

I came to ask if we were witnessing the plank master at work. Glad I wasn't the only one.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

Looks like he's laying next to a giant Tollhouse cookie.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Carlos is only 4'5"!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

What's the exchange rate of Carlos to Carbonemys?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Having accidentally stood between a galloping leatherback and the ocean, I can confirm that some turtles are still as big as cars, or at least they look a lot like it when approaching you at 40mph.

Death by turtle stampede would be a unique way to die.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Slow and unique.

I'm gonna need a Carlos to Cubit to Banana diagram.

With a slinky for scale.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Carlos!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is that a standard Carlos, or an imperial Carlos?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Given that South America has a greater native genetic pool but still mixed genealogy, International Standard would be adept.

Thank you, Carlos.
