WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER
Americans might know it as the more accurate "tunsend of corn kernels". Or similar to a "heft of wayfarer", or a "diggerty of pebbly straw silk".
I don't know, but I do know what a kilometre is!
About 1000 yard.
Or very roughly 100,000 barleycorn.
As of January 1st 2023:
- 3 280.84 feet
- 1 093.61 yards
- 198.84 rods
- 49.71 chains
- 4.97 furlongs
Take your pick.
Edit: Whoops, forgot to provide my source for the date aspect: NIST Handbook 44 2024, Appendix C: General Tables of Units of Measurement, page C-5, footnote 3 (Warning: PDF) – Sorry about that!
But how many hamburgers is a kilometer
Well, let's say the typical minimum diameter of a burger patty is 2 inches, and the typical maximum diameter is 6 inches, with a mean of about 4 inches:
That would mean that, depending on the diameter of the patty, and assuming all patties are the same diameter, 1 kilometer equals approximately 6 562–19 685 burger patties, with a mean of 9 843.
(All values were rounded up to the nearest integer.)
Isn't the measurement usually in bananas?
I'm commenting here to follow in case someone replies with images similar to OP's featuring Kilometer changes to Rod Serling, 2 Chainz, and Eddie Furlong.
It's a device for measuring kilos, obviously.
It's a device that measures things in thousands. A kilometer would say a kilometre is 1000 metres. I've bulk ordered 1000 meters if you'd like one.
