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.

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 10 points 10 months ago

Is that a standard Carlos, or an imperial Carlos?

[-] 3laws@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months 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 ?

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

[-] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

Thank you!

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

Behold, dog!

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 13 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

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 10 months ago

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

[-] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 10 months 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

[-] slappypantsgo@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Carlos is 5 meters.

[-] mjhelto@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago

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.

How many football fields is Carlos?

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

About 3/200 of a football field, or roughly 24 Big Macs.

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

How many Smoots is a Carlos?

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.

How big is Carlos though? My man could be 6cm.

[-] 123nope567@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Five Carlos

[-] mriormro@lemm.ee 7 points 10 months ago

Thank you, Carlos.

[-] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 7 points 10 months ago

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

[-] GingeritisMaximus@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Teenage Mutant Dumptruck Turtle?

[-] CrookedSerpent@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago
[-] EchoCranium@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 months ago

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

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

[-] frankgrimeszz@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

How large per Carlos squared?
