Is that a standard Carlos, or an imperial Carlos?

[–] 3laws@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

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

I'm not good with car sizes, how many Dr Pepper is that ?

[–] egrets@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is Stupendemys geographicus from Urumaco, Venezuela, and Rodolfo Sánchez from Coro, Venezuela.

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Thank you!

So why did it say Carlos? Just to make a joke on 'car'?

Behold, dog!

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 13 points 2 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?

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

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

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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

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.

How many football fields is Carlos?

[–] Stovetop@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

About 3/200 of a football field, or roughly 24 Big Macs.

I'm disappointed that nobody here has asked the right question yet:

How many Smoots is a Carlos?

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.

Thank you, Carlos.

[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How big is Carlos though? My man could be 6cm.

[–] 123nope567@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Five Carlos

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

Need a longer Carlos. This Carlos is too short for accurate measurement.

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Which one is which?

[–] GingeritisMaximus@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Teenage Mutant Dumptruck Turtle?

[–] EchoCranium@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] CrookedSerpent@hexbear.net 6 points 2 weeks ago
[–] frankgrimeszz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

How large per Carlos squared?

[–] MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago
[–] don@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Pretty sure that one’s turtley enough for the turtle club.
