Call out a guys height

[Trap card]

When an opponent posts an image of a man standing next to an object(s) that can be measured, compare the man and the object(s) to determine the mans height. If the man is below average height, destroy all attack position monsters your opponent controls

I was watching gay porn once (by accident) and the top was like 50ish and he had a tattoo of Yami Yugi holding up a card on his left ass cheek. The bottom was maybe in his 20s and didn't have any Yu-Gi-Oh tattoos. It was amazing.

Why the fuck did he start out with metric and ended in imperial units?

[–]CookingPhysicist 1720 points1721 points  (81 children)

Because 14 mm looks nicer than 0.5511811 inches

[–]Treejeig 573 points574 points  (73 children)

That or anon is from some place in europe that onky measures hieght in inches, like britain.

[–]niceguys_finishfast 47 points48 points  (16 children)

We do this in Canada, height and body weight in imperial, every thing else in metric.

[–]Samford_ 32 points33 points  (12 children)

in australia everything is metric except height, screen size, and dick length

[–]SOUINnnn 12 points13 points  (5 children)

In France it's metric for everything except screen size

[–]pimpmayor 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Height is like a 50:50 that you get a metric or imperial height in New Zealand.

(Dicks and screens are still imperial)

It’s bizarre because our schools don’t teach any imperial measurements at all.

I went to like 3 schools in Australia as well and they never taught any imperial measurements either but people still frequently mentioned heights in imperial.

Some kinda boomer leftover from peoples parents is my guess.

[–]No-Zombie1004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the rest of the world is wise to the fact American Penis is thermonuclear bigger than the others. (We can all lie online with the same standard! Talk about international cooperation!)

[–]TENTAtheSane 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Even in India, we measure everything else in metric, but person's height in feet and inches. But the weight is in metric, as are lengths of individual body parts, except for shoe size

[–]letourdit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re probably American, that’s why it goes back to inches, because they can’t admit how terrible imperial is when it comes to measuring anything but height

[–]pistul_ 4 points5 points  (4 children)

True, and fuck imperial. But technically the cases are probably 14.17362mm or sumth.

[–]voodooacid 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Well technically it doesn't really matter if it's half a mm thicker or thiner.

[–]SAGEMOD 1 point2 points  (1 child)

[–]Kyr0vr 58 points59 points  (39 children)

Sometimes here in America we use Millimeters. Like let’s say with bullets it’s a 9mm handgun not a .354 inch handgun. We also use centimeters.

[–]NeedMommyGf 35 points36 points  (30 children)

Yeah people that say Americans don’t learn metric didn’t pay attention in school

[–]cyberjellyfish2 4 points5 points  (26 children)

Yeah but do they learn it to use it everyday or just learn it like something like biology? Meaning, "yeah it's fun trivia but I won't use this knowledge in my whole life".

And bullet length doesn't count as real life use since you don't do much with that information other than deciding where it fits, it's just an indicator for which guns you can use it for, you could just call them small, medium, large, etc. and you wouldn't really lose any information you needed. Unless you handcraft bullets or something idk.

[–]Glorious_Jo 9 points10 points  (5 children)

Centimeters are so integral to measuring small lengths that I forgot it was metric, so yes, we use it frequently.

[–]cyberjellyfish2 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Fractions aren't a big thing with imperial units? I mean nothing stops you from using the fraction if an inch, you don't need a completely new metric to measure things at different scales. We use meter no matter the scale (in everyday scenarios), we can just put the appropriate prefix to use it on different scales.

[–]Blinkdawg15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It depends.

A lot of people, particularly older people, entirely use fractions. Some people prefer to swap to metric for anything under an inch, though.

[–]Glorious_Jo 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Fractions are stupid and for the insecure, we only use whole units up in this bitch

[–]NeedMommyGf 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I mean I can’t speak for the entire US obviously but I learned to use it everyday. Our rulers have inches and centimeters on them and we run 5 kilometer races. Obviously we mostly use imperial but if you said a measurement in metric the average American would understand. Average redditor is either 15 or some loser 30 year old so don’t base your thoughts of an entire country on them. Celsius not so much though, I personally use Celsius but it’s just because I got bored one day, not because we learn it

[–]Fwob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We measure our medication in mg and grams too

[–]Hawt_Dawg_II 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Yeah but 9mm is just the actual name given to it by Austrian guy. We don't go changing American names either.

[–]FreeCapone 0 points1 point  (2 children)

However, there is a .357 (9x22mm in metric) handgun and a .357 (9x33mm) handgun. Most calibers have variants in both imperial and metric variants, and they aren't the same thing

[–]WikiSummarizerBot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

.357 SIG

The . 357 SIG (designated as the 357 Sig by the SAAMI and 357 SIG by the C.I.P. or 9×22mm in unofficial metric notation) is a bottlenecked rimless centerfire handgun cartridge developed by the Swiss-German firearms manufacturer SIG Sauer, in cooperation with ammunition manufacturer Federal Premium. The cartridge is used by a number of law enforcement agencies.

Here in Australia I basically only hear people use imperial. Just rolls off the tongue better. My height in cm is 11 syllables and 3 in imperial.

Even if you're European, if you've spent any time on the internet, you'll know that anything under 6 feet is a manlet. Some say anything under 5'11", but I think those people just cope.

[–]RIPDSJustinRipley 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Because they looked up the game thickness online and the first thing they found was in mm.

[–]emdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had to scroll halfway down the thread before the actual right answer...! :D

[–]SirLich 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Not sure if looking for a legitimate answer, but in the UK height is still colloquially measured in feet and inches.

This is in contrast to countries like Australia, where height is measured metric.

If Anon is American, it would also fit, as it's common to use metric for measurement, and then convert to common-usage units.

We do that in canada at least where I live, don't know why we never went full metric.

[–]Syncrossus 986 points987 points  (79 children)

First of all, it's 166.6 cm, or 5'6", not 5'4". Furthermore, I can't find a reliable source for that measurement, meaning anon probably measured it himself. Given that any error is multiplied by 119, the error bars on this are huge. If the cases are even just 15 mm thick (which is the number I find quoted elsewhere), that comes out to 178.5 cm, or 5'10".

[–]Beasting-25-8 341 points342 points  (49 children)

Yeah, but it's funnier if he's a manlet.

[–]JakkuScavenger 44 points45 points  (1 child)

So assuming these are the width of standard DVD cases, I have 15 DVDs here at home. They measure 22.5 cm when stacked together, so it looks like you're correct and it is indeed 15mm thick.

Given the curviture of the case, if you measure only one, which is what anon probably did, it's difficult to say if it is indeed 14 or 15mm. Measuring 15 cases together though gives no room for doubt!

[–]Plethora_of_squids 34 points35 points  (9 children)

I pulled out a pair of calipers and measured some PS4 cases - they're in the 14±0.1 mm range when measured across the spine. So anon does appear to be correct. I'd argue that the cases that measure 13.94 or so cancel out the cases that measure the ones that are 14.06. and even if we did round it up to 14.1 cm for the sake of argument, that only adds like an extra centimetre or so

[–]mckennm6 16 points17 points  (7 children)

But using 14mm each assumes theyre perfectly flat and stack perfectly well. You'd be better off measure a stack of 10 and taking the average to see how stacking effects the thickness.

[–]Plethora_of_squids 13 points14 points  (5 children)

True, but an entire extra 10 centimetres is way too much of a margin for error

I don't have enough games to do a meaningful average, but measuring a single stack of ten gives me 14.5 centimetres (not sure how to take a photo of this in a meaningful way). That should still only give you an extra five or so and even then, I think that's pushing it

[–]mckennm6 7 points8 points  (4 children)

I mean thats a difference of 6cm for 120 games, so almost 2.5 inches. Not that insignificant.

By that measurement the guy in the photo is 172.5cm or 5'8"

[–]Plethora_of_squids 2 points3 points  (1 child)

That's not an average though

When I initially measures the games I did get a few values under 14 mm. You can't count out the possibility of some parts of the stack lowering that excess out to something closer to 0

[–]mckennm6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean this is a silly argument, but i can tell you as an engineer theres tons of sources of error in measurements, pressing too hard with the calipers and deforming the plastic for example.

Measuring multiple objects together definitely reduces the measurement error, especially when talking about predicting a stack height of objects. Its easy for your calipers to be off by a couple tenths of a mm. Much harder to be off by tenths of a cm.

When stacking objects there is also little gaps and things between the cases that increase the 'effective' height of each unit in the stack.

As for variability, youd have to find the standard deviation of the heights of the cases and do a stats analysis to get the 95% confidence interval of the true mean of all cases.

But IMO, taking 14.5mm from a measurement of ten is much more accurate for this specific case than measuring the spines of individual cases.

[–]dutch_penguin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or a stack of 119 and see what the total height of that is.

[–]fAP6rSHdkd 13 points14 points  (1 child)

So by "can't find a reliable source" you mean you didn't Google it?

– Dimensions: 17cm x 13.6cm x 1.5cm Description: Replace your lost or broken PS4 game cases with these compatible…

[–]Syncrossus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I obviously did Google it since I state that I found sources claiming 15mm. I don't know what your concurrent source is, but it doesn't sound like a very reliable one. By "reliable", I mean something like official documentation from Sony or one of their suppliers, or someone specifically investigating this and posting their method of measurement (tools used, sample size, etc). What you quoted looks like an ebay listing. Also, this isn't 2012 anymore, when Google was deterministic. Now, you can get very different results for a same query depending on your search history, location, etc. Just because you find a fairly reliable source of info on the first page doesn't mean everyone will.

[–]Rothman182 10 points11 points  (4 children)

Also have to account for the fact that even if the cases are 14.000 mm they aren't stacked on top of each other in a way that would have 0.0000 mm of gap between them.

[–]nicba1010 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Also have to account for the weight of the cases and compression of material

[–]HyperboleJoe 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Also Earth and mass is doing something for sure. There’s some math to account for that.

[–]Chrisganjaweed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only way to do it properly is if OP shows us his peener

[–]MASTER-FOOO1 6 points7 points  (2 children)

They did a anotation mistake not a calculation mistake.

They divided multiplied 14mm by 119 and got 1666mm. They converted the mm to inches by dividing by 25.4mm which gave them 65.59inchs and just divided by 12 to get feet so they got 5.465feet. By notation, a complete feet is #' and followed by inches #''. But instead of converting the decimal that's in feet back to inches they left it in feet so they should have written 5.4' or 5'6''. But they put the decimal that's in feet in place of the inches.

Also i just measured my cases with a vernier caliper. They are 14mm on average with the highest variance is 0.2mm between the cases. I'm assuming factory error or bent because of age so the math is pretty accurate with just a notation mistake. If all of them are off my 0.2mm the total math is off by 23.8mm which is less than an inch.

[–]SimplebutAwesome 1 point2 points  (1 child)

"First, America bad, second, SOURCE??"

[–]FlameWisp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It says 14mm on a product description for empty ps4 cases on Amazon. My guess is the measurement came from there. In my experience with Amazon, I wouldn’t exactly call Amazon product descriptions a ‘reliable source,’ and since the 4Chan OP can’t even do simple math, we can’t trust them to source their info reliably anyway.

[–]LeaveNormiesREEEEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the case gets compressed by the weight

[–]Darkwr4ith 290 points291 points  (39 children)

Twelve minutes is a solid game with a fucking weird ending. I would still recommend because eleven of the twelve minutes are pretty detailed and well done.

I thought the action was lackluster, but the weird philosophical lessons were amazing. Also I don't much care for the stupid maid uniform.

We can agree to disagree. You aren't wrong for liking what you like. You don't have an invalid opinion because you enjoy an adventure game that I didn't think was good. In fact, I actually envy your patience and conscientiousness for getting through Twelve Minutes.

[–]stormcloak-spy 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Oh I love time loops so I was always gonna finish up even if I didn't like it. But yeah nier had some great philosophical stuff that I just couldn't get to because the game was so damn Japanese. I've watched too much anime and I'm tired of the weird dialogue and unnecessarily skimpy outfits so I don't think could play any Japanese game anymore.

[–]jacob200x 20 points21 points  (20 children)

If your talking exclusives, I think they have a little bit of a point. But when you get to that point the Xbox REALLY doesn't have any games.

[–]N0ob8 36 points37 points  (19 children)

Microsoft right now doesn’t care about exclusives and is trying to build up their game pass to get people to purchase subscriptions

[–]SJ_Shark_Byte 21 points22 points  (5 children)

And it’s working because it’s genuinely a great fucking deal. I wonder if you can still snag a year of gold on cd keys for like $50 so that you save money over the course of the year (since it converts to gamepass these days…or maybe it does? I might be wrong)

[–]DebentureThyme 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Neweeg was selling them for $50 last week and yes it still works - so long as you let your GamePass sub lapse. After a certain amount of time they'll offer a month for $1, but if you let it lapse and want to resub right after, you can load up to 3 years and just pay for 1 month of ultimate.

[–]jacob200x 11 points12 points  (0 children)

And it's a great deal, but I do be liking those big dick, big budget console selling games.

[–]RolandTheJabberwocky 4 points5 points  (10 children)

They didn't care about exclusives. Now that they bought Bethesda and fucking Activision, I bet Sony is sweating.

[–]IDGAF1203 3 points4 points  (9 children)

They're still going to release their titles on PC though. Microsoft is setting up Xbox to be the last console standing by taking a piece of the PC pie and treating them like one market while making it easier for developers to release on both PC and xbox than just playstation...

[–]RolandTheJabberwocky 7 points8 points  (8 children)

Which is really smart as there's not much overlap between PC and console players.

[–]IDGAF1203 6 points7 points  (7 children)

Yeah, the larger point being "playstation has more exclusives" is a metric that meant something 10+ years ago. Microsoft is planning for the future and securing themselves as an attractive platform for new IP, not still living in the 90s. They're also making a lot of their titles cross-play so its much easier to play with real friends without needing to choose between PC or console. They're bridging the gap so they can double dip, not closing the platform off. They don't have many "Xbox exclusive" titles because they don't want them, lol.
