This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

100cm?

No human would say that. Any real person would say 1m.

Or if you're a human USian, something like 1/2 fridge or 6 big gulps

Nah that's clearly a pair of franks and some change.

Yeah that's clearly 1 000mm!

Joke aside: I use mm in woodworking as a main unit because it's my margin of error (±1mm). In this case cm makes sense for me

100cm is a Baker's yard.

Half a bald eagle wingspan.
