fun fact that I probably shared before, but my university had a physics class called estimations of scale, where you did order of magnitude estimations, usually of things really large like galaxies or small like particles, and then put them into a scale that is intuitive and made sense to you to imagine. One person I worked with did the length of his dick for the length scale (though he used something else for homework he had to turn in, probably football fields). The milky way is ~1.7*10^17 dicks across apparently.

Chives ar are tasty, good problem to have.

Dude, WTF are you talking about? When I was a machinist it was so much easier to deal with metric. 1 inch ~ 25 mm, from there it is just way easier to deal with measurements such as 27.5 mm instead of 1 5/64 inches and all of these inverse powers of 2. I was always jealous of the French machinist I worked with talking about how the only units you should ever have to work with is meters and millimeters. If you are concerned about “Human Scale” then intuitively a meter and a yard are close enough for estimates and you don’t have to deal with “wait, what is 5/8 + 3/16 + 1 7/64?”

Quit reminding me I am old! But yes this is at least 11 years old, since that was when I first saw it.
