I can tell you're not an American, OP.

Bullets per square child is a unit of size comparable to an acre, not of speed comparable to KPH. 🤦‍♂️

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Ah, kph/"kills per hour". My favorite American unit of speed.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Excuse me, but kph does not only apply to children.

We're talking about kph^C^.

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

No, that's also a measure of size used primarily for those big fords with the tiny beds.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm considering it more like a unit of pressure, like the standard force of a bullet over the stretched area made out of the skin of an obese child.

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It's really a flux as the bullets are moving. The 'per second' is implied.

Maybe new cars down have it anymore but km/r were always on my dashboard as well

Professional Americaning

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 59 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think you mean round child.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 43 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Assume a spherical child in a frictionless vacuum.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That’s gonna make active shooter drills really annoying, logistically, but maybe that’s the point of the exercise

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You just put a jack under one end of the building, lift it up and let them roll out the other side. Easy peasy.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought this was taking place in a vacuum

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

You'll still roll without air. Air has a negligible, if anything negative, impact on rolling.

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yes. Although our children are more squircle than square.

[–] hihi24522@lemm.ee 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you assume that a “bullet” is a unit of momentum (the mass and velocity of a bullet) and “square child” is actually just referring to the mass of a child who happens to be square shaped and not the mass of a child squared, then “bullets per square child” is describing valid units for a velocity

[–] SurfinBird@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Square child per bullet then?

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 years ago

Some people will do anything to avoid freedom units

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Lol bullets per square child. I'm going to hell if I wasn't already

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can't even understand your foreign measurements, are they even in English? Weigh things in Cheeseburgers With The Cheese Pried Off So There's A Little Cheese Left like normal human beings smh

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I read that in an incomprehensible British accent

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

That would be Dwad Children per second, or DC/s.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I like my Gallon milk jugs thank you very much

[–] mastazi@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I will buy you a metric ton of milk jugs if you make the switch

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

They are very useful for stopping bullets if you fill them with concrete when you're done with the milk.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

5 is way too many bullets and not nearly enough km
