TIL about metaphors?

Feel free to add to the lists. Especially the US wars.

There’s a part in one of these Uncle John’s Bathroom Readers that has a paragraph about the dude with the shadow stick.

That is impressive & a nice amendment on your part. Thank you for the added detail

Okay, a ball is equally wide but sometimes it gets squeezed and becomes tallish

Measurement works because it’s accepted on it’s own terms.

If I were to believe that 1 is 2, it would be very difficult to explain that 2 is indeed double the normal amount of 1.

The same goes for some alien species that has too many or not enough fingers and doesn’t use prime numbers because of this.

I don’t personally believe that math is truly universal. But maybe I’m being existential ;)

Sort of, yeah, Earth is a bit wider around the equatorial axis than around the polar one.

Thanks for explaining that a fucking ball is easier to squeeze at it’s widest part, genius.

Ever since that dude translated the Rosetta stone they’ve been up their own asses.

I say we measure everything with how angry it makes the French.

While I can’t speak for my chemical imbalances, I can certainly assure you I am %100 not a fucking algorithm or some lame ass excuse for manufactured digital intelligence…

I’m on the phone with them.

They said they’ll do it after France or Canada does first. Not sure if they got the memo, or if they are just being silly again.

Well…at least most of them pronounce data as DAY-TUH because of Star Trek.

The other pronunciation is horrendous.

Speaking of which, aluminum is pronounced fwaganah-schreple.

Earth squeezes and stretches and wobbles & rotates. Time as we know it changes in length because it is the common nature of “time” to become chaos which then becomes order. Hylomorphism or Impermanence is to Entropy as measurement is to the fundamentals of size. Who is to say that the distance between two points should be constrained to the barriers of human existence & understanding. All we have is pictures & words, maybe a few trinkets that will become dust that becomes something else that attempts to quantify reality.

For a fun journey through the canning process, watch the original season of “The Terror” (not the next two seasons though, those aren’t based on the book. They merely share the title. They are pretty good, but pale in comparison. However, they are sadly…the same show. Because money)

This sounds like something a sassy person might say whilst pushing up their glasses to view a document which is rolled up tightly into a scroll and shoved into their own anus after they realize the room is watching them try to read the outside of a butthole scroll.

Sacré bleu!!!

Everything can be scaled. 1 can be two halves & 3 can be 12 .025’s. or we can all just agree that everything is based on various systems of measurement invented by humans who can hardly agree on their own origins and the purpose of their existence, or even the right to exist.
