God, the way my laugh echoed in this house.

I need Carlos to hold a banana for scale .... who knows ... Carlos could be a dwarf ... or a ten foot giant.

Is that a standard Carlos, or an imperial Carlos?

[–] 3laws@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

I'm not good with car sizes, how many Dr Pepper is that ?

[–] egrets@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thank you!

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

Behold, dog!

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year 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?

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

I came to ask if we were witnessing the plank master at work. Glad I wasn't the only one.

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

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

[–] Paradachshund@lemmy.today 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How many football fields is Carlos?

[–] mjhelto@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.

I'm disappointed that nobody here has asked the right question yet:

How many Smoots is a Carlos?

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

1 smoot, +- an Ɛar

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] 123nope567@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Five Carlos

[–] mriormro@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Thank you, Carlos.

[–] GingeritisMaximus@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Teenage Mutant Dumptruck Turtle?

[–] EchoCranium@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] ladicius@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Which one is which?

[–] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago
[–] frankgrimeszz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

How large per Carlos squared?

[–] thessnake03@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I want to know more about this turtle!
