Banana for scale

[–] Preflight_Tomato@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

An equally valid interpretation. 😊

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago

That is a suspiciously green banana. What kinda multi-color filament did you use for that?

[–] DoomsdaySprocket@lemmy.ca 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

But how can we trust that your Standardized Banana is standardized to the correct standard? Has it been certified?

I don’t want no Metric Standard Banana (MSB).

The Brits will call it BBU:

British banna unit is defined as 1 BBU = the energy to heat 1 pint of banana juice by 1°F.

Electric kettle or stovetop? Important distinction!

Did you really make this just for the meme?

[–] Preflight_Tomato@lemm.ee 5 points 8 months ago

Indeed. I serve the God of Comedy, bringer of Big HaHa 🫡.

[–] jerrythegenius@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Yeah I think we need a banana for scale for scale

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 8 months ago

That is a beautiful banana for scale. I appreciate a you including the banana for scale as well.

[–] pelya@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Banana (banana for scale)

[–] AgentOrangesicle@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Thanks for the mathematical proof!

[–] troglodytis@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

This scale is horrible.

Doesn't even have a screen. How can we tell how much it weighs?

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 8 months ago

There's no banana-formed centimeter?

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I hope one day the whole world will unite around one measurement standard and this banana is taking us closer to that day.
