Centimeters, meters, neters, and ൬eters.

What's that in Newton bushels per lumen?

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

About 1600 medium sized baguettes

Looks so convincing until you start looking at details.

It's just a nightstand that is 9.57 meters long and over 6 thousand meters tall.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 13 points 1 week ago

Each side of the top is a different width.

[–] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

And simultaneously 8.5 meters, 8.7 nanometers, 9.57m and 8.48m wide.

And also does and doesn't have a bottom side rail.

And yet somehow still rectangular.

Its height depends on the angle you're looking at it... like any normal M.C. Escher abomination.

The fastest, most power hungry BSer.

I mean, it's a Google product, it's probably not inaccurate to say society died for this.

[–] thisbenzingring 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

at first I'm like, oh that's not too bad

upon further review LMAO

Hey it's still pretty great for what it is, it would be mind blowing if the dimensions themselves were acurate and made sense, but yes when I zoomd in I laughed out loud

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Height, 8.4cm. Width, 9.57 meters.

[–] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In Gemini's defense it delivered what the user asked for. If OP wanted specific dimensions they should have said so.

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

Eh, I'd say something 8.4cm tall and ~9 meters wide would be closer to a stage than a night stand or whatever it is op asked.

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 13 points 1 week ago

There's definitely dimensions

[–] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Directions unclear, opened a gate to the multiverse

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 points 1 week ago

Nigel gave me a drawing that said 18 inches. Now, whether or not he knows the difference between feet and inches is not my problem. I do what I'm told.

[–] isles@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

You need the 8.5.600m revision of the tabletop for this build? Shit, I'm stuck on 8.5.299m.

[–] huge_lead@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago

Well, thats better than what I get from interior designers :D

Who's this nightstand for? Paul Bunyan?

[–] Rozz 3 points 1 week ago

It just gave up on the top right it seems
