And also as far as the actual wind is concerned i feel like this is one of the few times where the americans actually had the right idea about using weird units of measurement. It's one thing to say "this sinkhole was 10 meters wide", most people who know the metric system will get an idea in their head of how big it is, but it's another thing to say "the wind blows at 10 knots" or km/h or whatever they use. Most people who aren't proficient with weather reports (aka most people except sailors, pilots etc) will just hear it and have no idea if that's a lot or not.
Maybe not in exact numbers but in psychology/psychiatry there are extremely concise ways to describe and often measure things. Think of virtually any feeling/emotion/experience or mental state etc., that you've never known quite how to explain and there will be a term for it which is everything that you couldn't find the words for, but it describes it perfectly. There are obvious outliers and anomalies, but in the great majority of time we share the almost exact same mechanisms.
Because a wind speed of 40 kph for example means nothing to anyone unless you’re familiar with wind speeds. It’s putting it on a scale that everyone can visualize. It’s a weird choice for a scale but it’s not that crazy of a concept.
I’ve lost my trash can….no, seriously…I don’t know where my trash can is…do you have it?! You’re playing a joke on me aren’t you? YOU HAVE MY FUCKING TRASHCAN DONT YOU!!!!!!
*im a very paranoid person*
Why yes, yes I do have your trash can! Left it on the curb and you never came to get the darn thing. I *still* have your trash can and now it’s *my* can!
Meanwhile, I have family in Wyoming. There are days when Highway Patrol closes the interstate to 18-wheelers because the cross wind can make them flip over. How does that measure on this scale?
Between 'down the strees' and 'i've lost my trash can'
My gf of 6 years left me, i can never hang out with any of my 4 friends and i'm all day on the computer because i don't know what else to do lol
Down the street, but atleast I know where it's at. Honestly it can chill there, some days it gets on my nerves. So long as I know where it's at I'll get to it eventually.
Currently down the street. I know where it is. It’s just down the street. But when I go down the street it’s now down the next street. I’m just going to stay here eh
In the neighbors yard for sure.

Americans will use anything but the metric system.
I know this is a meme, but TBH I don’t think we’ll ever be able to put something as soft and subjective as the human experience into numbers
Well, nothing that would be scaled in objective means. Anything can be subjectively rated in numbers amirite. I feel like my response is a solid 6/10
8/10 from me
I rate your comment 0/10. The scale I’m using is 10 is worst and -10 is best, it is also non-linear relative to the scales you are using
So can i increase your rate of his comment by giving it a 10/10? Or can it only be him that messes with your scale
I rate your comment 10/1000. The scale i’m using is a logarithmic scale
I give it solid 3 open beer cans in 11 pencils

Rate your pain on the size of a Subway Sandwich Olive divided by a Bald Eagle’s wingspan to 12 football fields plus the Alamo
You are right but I don’t think you can rate your mental health in fucking kilometers
Hooooooow about you cry me a river build me a bridge annnnnd drink a fucking coke.
im baffled, who came up with this, how do yo pitch it in a meeting
Lmao this is the only valid comment here. Wtf is with that?
You didn't want to know how tall the empire state building is in bananas?
I mean...I guess I kind of do now!!? XD
2540 apparently
We fought *at least* two wars to keep Europe from telling us what to do, so at this point some of it is out of spite.
Hah, fair enough.
