Is that a standard Carlos, or an imperial Carlos?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Thank you!

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

Behold, dog!

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks 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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Carlos is 5 meters.

[–] [email protected] 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?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

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.

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

1 smoot, +- an Ɛar

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

But how many bananas tall is 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.

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Five Carlos

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Teenage Mutant Dumptruck Turtle?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Which one is which?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you, Carlos.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

How large per Carlos squared?
