60’ is 18m.
Y’all need to learn about significant digits.
If you haven’t, you need to try Kagi search and that’s the best search engine in existence
That’s obviously an AI-fake!!!1111
I’m convinced the Imperial system is like those languages they make up for fantasy novels. I’ve only ever witnessed it in D&D and it seems impractical to learn for the day to day.
You usually don’t convert the units in the day to day. Either something is a few inches, a few feet, or a mile away. Construction workers can usually measure stuff out by hand (literally) if they’re doing stuff like framing.
A cup is quite literally a standard cup size. Any modern recipe will just be like “2 ¼ cups of milk” you can measure it or eyeball it. Anything smaller and you’re using measuring spoons anyway, so conversion doesn’t matter again.
OK, that got me smiling hard. :)
Ok, but also
DDG is just a people pleaser. 🤷♂️
This is just funny:
I’m pretty sure it’s just a fuzzy context match.
The only outlier is that God uses inches apparently?
They make about as much sense as cubits.
Right but I don’t know specifically how the matching is done so I was just funny that the only example I tried seemed to lean into metric and deride imperial. I’m not saying that’s actually the case it just was funny to me that I got that result.
OP:
The duality of duck.
I can tell that a student on a software engineering placement had a very fun afternoon making this

Used this all the time until I recently stubled across the cli program
unitsIts not a joke! It actually works!
Does it work for football fields to real units?
I use noai.ddg and don’t get the converter thingy.
I use noai.ddg and get the converter thingy
I don’t get it for football fields or other ‘anything but metric’ units which is what I was going for.
theres one for olympic sized swimming pool which is a substitute for volume.
oic, yeah. When I try to convert “football fields” into meters, it gets it confused with sqft.
A football field is 100 yards, so just try “100 yards in real units” if you’re genuinely curious.
120 yards really, the end zones are part of the field.
True, but:
When the “football field” is used as unit of measurement, it is usually understood to mean 100 yards (91.44 m),
I use noai.ddg and don’t get the converter thingy.
Tried going to regular ddg and don’t get the converter thing, just regular results. I probably turned off a setting somewhere.
Really curious what the pattern is here. I don’t get the converter on noai either.
I’m getting it intermittently too, for what it’s worth. Depending heavily on the unit. For example, I tried and realized “100 yards in real units” doesn’t work, but “100 feet in real units” does.
I don’t want to ask it yards. I want to ask it in ‘anything but metric’ units like football fields and Olympic sized swimming pools.
Didn’t try regular measurements before, but yeah now I see it when I use those.
Now that’s obviously just plain incorrect. Everyone knows that real units are measured in bananas.
60 feet = 102.857 bananas

Ecosia:
put your conversions in krunner like the foss gods intended
Yes, but:
I dunno bout you, but it’s just easier to say 60ft than 18. 28m!
And I find 20m easier to say than 65.61ft? Sorry, am I missing a joke? Sometimes it’s hard to Poe’s Law the Americanisms.
Yes, you’re missing the joke.
he’s missing it by like 1,609.34 meters…
It would be easier to just say a mile.
What a stupid figure of speech.
What’s a mile?
About 15 freedoms long
Now do imaginary units
