Rest In Peace US Survey Foot

Hi there! I'm your neighbourhood friendly unit converter! Got a post using those pesky units from the US? Or perhaps, are you from the US and do you need help figuring out metric? Regardless, I'm here to make things worse! ^^

Kitchen tip: you can set glassware on a hot burner to make exploding glassware

[hyperoperationfractallisation]

Kitchen question: did you exploding glassware

[395nm]

Not today, my friend! Today I noticed in time.

Preheat oven to 375 F. Remove film. Casually toss film onto stovetop. Hear horrible crinkling noises. Remove film from hot stovetop.

@helpful-unit-converter convert cat heart beats¯¹ to beans

[helpful-unit-converter]

1 minute equals 3600 third

40 minute roughly equals 2 ²¹²Fr-half life

And, fine, because it's the time for giving gifts and being helpful, just this once, I'll live up to my name and play along with the request...

8000 cat heartbeats roughly equals 10 paws (40 beans, I suppose)

Not a conversion ask but I think this might be fun anyway: what unit has the funniest name? megagram has my vote because it sounds like this super cool Extreme™ thing but it's just a thousand kilograms :)

I think in retrospect the ottoman empire's "batman" is pretty funny. Like you'd think it's some nerdy unit named after the comics. But no! Old as fuck mass.

I also like Smoot. It's just fun to say, Smoot. Smoot Smoot Smoot. Hehehe.

Fun game for weird unit of measurement lovers

Take some arbitrary measurement from your environment. I for example picked 230kcal, the amount of energy stated on the label of a random box in the pantry.

Then, generate a random number. 1-9 is easy mode, 10-99 is harder etc. Try to then find a value of the form X*10^Y where X is your random number, which you can represent by converting the measurement you chose to different weird units, then rounding to any power of 10. So, for example, if your number was 14, a possible win is 14392. Another would be 0.000013842.

Everything with a standard, consistent value is allowed, as long as it is reasonably a unit of measurement. (e.g. meter - absolutely allowed. Football fields - sure, I guess. Eiffel towers - getting questionable. How tall my dad is - not allowed.)

You are also allowed to express units with different ones, e.g. turn joules to milliwatt days.

You are not allowed to use units that don't have dimension, a.k.a. simple conversion factors, such as mol, dozen, gross, pi, phi, etc.

You are not allowed to use multiple different units of the same type of measurement, e.g. foot per meter. You must always simplify to a form without this. Joule/second is allowed, kilowatt hour / second is not. Square mile is allowed, yard kilometer is not.

You are not allowed to use rounding errors (e.g. 1 hour = 1E2 minute = 1E-1 day = 2 hour)

The closer you get and the more elegant your solution is, the better! Here's my attempt:

Starting point: 230 kcal

goal: 89

My path: 230 kcal = 962320 joules = 962320 newton meter = 8.91653889E-7 newton lighthour = 89E-8 newton lighthour

Succes! Now, it's your turn! Have fun!

convert pi van der graff generators to horsepower

π Van de Graaff Breakdown† roughly equals 3.5 horsepower hour coulomb⁻¹ kilometer⁻¹

1 horsepower roughly equals 2.98 donkeypower

†π multiplied by the breakdown field of a Van de Graaff generator at standard conditions (30 kV/cm).

can u convert that to elf kilometers

stairs are so funny. falling 100 meters will kill you. solution? fall 10 centimeters a thousand times.

[markadoo]

they invented all those neat si prefixes and people still talk like this

[395nm]

falling a hectometer will kill you. solution? fall a decimeter a kilotime.

[helpful-unit-converter]

100 meters equals 100000 millimeter

10 centimeters equals 0.0001 kilometer

1 hectometer equals 10 decameter

1 decimeter equals 100000000 nanometer

Start her off with 80N of cuddles and we'll see if we can work out way up to 10g of kisses and 30g of pets

[cute-t-princess]

Only 10g of kisses 🥺

I don't think that dose is high enough at all 🥺

[lunasgayshit-deactivated2026050]

@helpful-unit-converter convert 80N of cuddles to furlong ounces per microcentury squared

[helpful-unit-converter]

80 Newton roughly equals 146 grain * barleycorn * millisecond⁻²

10 gram equals 50 carat

30 gram equals 0,3 ons (Dutch ounces)

'Shocking' discovery: Electricity from electric eels may transfer genetic material to nearby animals

The electric eel is the biggest power-making creature on Earth. It can release up to 860 volts, which is enough to run a machine. In a recen

"The electric eel is the biggest power-making creature on Earth. It can release up to 860 volts, which is enough to run a machine. In a recent study, a research group from Nagoya University in Japan found electric eels can release enough electricity to genetically modify small fish larvae. They published their findings in PeerJ."

The researchers' findings add to what we know about electroporation, a gene delivery technique. Electroporation uses an electric field to create temporary pores in the cell membrane. This lets molecules, like DNA or proteins, enter the target cell."

"The researchers discovered that 5% of the larvae had markers showing gene transfer. "This indicates that the discharge from the electric eel promoted gene transfer to the cells, even though eels have different shapes of pulse and unstable voltage compared to machines usually used in electroporation," said Iida. "Electric eels and other organisms that generate electricity could affect genetic modification in nature.".

Other studies have observed a similar phenomenon occurring with naturally occurring fields, such as lightning, affecting nematodes and soil bacteria. Iida is very excited about the possibilities of electric field research in living organisms. He believes these effects are beyond what conventional wisdom can understand.

He said, "I believe that attempts to discover new biological phenomena based on such 'unexpected' and 'outside-the-box' ideas will enlighten the world about the complexities of living organisms and trigger breakthroughs in the future.""
