For the metrically inclined:

40 inches = 1.016 meters

25 yards = 22.85 meters

40 yards = 36.576 meters

1 inches = 0.0254 meters or 2.54 centimeters

1 yard = 0.9144 meters

    Not having standardized decimal indicators in maths really took me for a ride.

      Agreed! It’s confusing when most of the world uses “,” as a decimal indicated but some countries use “.” for that.

      Is your existence just to complain about insignificant things in otherwise interesting content? Sounds miserable.

        Yeah that would sound miserable. Kinda didn’t complain tho just pointed it out bc I first read it as 1016m. See to complain I would need to explicitly say I am unhappy or that this would need to change. I just pointed out that due to me having a different understanding of decimal indication I was confused for a second.

        You know what would be miserable tho? Misinterpreting a comment and then jumping to a conclusion about another person’s happiness. Go out. Touch some grass. Think about why you so quickly came to such a negative conclusion. Get happy. ✌️

          It’s definitely not just for the one comment rofl. It’s a special kind of person to make two top-level posts complaining about a meme.
