In a row?

Try not to suck any dicks on the way to the lumber yard!

No in a line

sundray@lemmus.org · 4 pts · 2d (1 reply)

Ah, linear dicks instead of board-dicks.

anomnom@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2d

Board-foot-dicks is a very specific genre.

The measurements will change whenever it gets cold.

ARE THEY HARD OR SOFT

surewhynotlem@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2d

I think by definition a woody is hard

WoodScientist@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2d

Almost certainly soft. Maybe some wealthy eccentric would frame their house in expensive hard wood as a flex, but wood framed construction is almost exclusively softwood. It grows much more quickly, is easier to work with, and is plenty strong. I wouldn't frame a house in anything but good old-reliable Douglas Fir.

Fahrenheit is bloody stupid

mobyduck648@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 1d

As a Briton who is throughly bilingual in units and mixes them liberally, Fahrenheit is just about the only one that reliably confuses me. In the past tabloids would put cold temperatures in Celsius and hot temperatures in Fahrenheit to make them sound more impressive but that’s not really a thing these days.

To be fair I can kind of get it if I’d grown up with it, zero is ‘I need my foul weather gear on’ and 100 is ‘bloody hot summers day’ which on a human level beats the Celsius zero is ‘water freezes’ and 100 is ‘you are dead’ but the convenience of water freezing at zero is just too much.

Innit?

Yes but is it a NIST Dick or a ASTM Dick?

Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d

Yep

umbraroze@piefed.social · 1 pts · 2d

Ancient Mesopotamian Dicks, European King Dicks or NIST Dicks?

Like my dicks or normal size ones because there’s a huge difference

Sabata11792@ani.social · 5 pts · 2d (1 reply)

Actually, it's based off the erect dick length of King Charls III on a temperate day rounded up with an additional 2.5 inches added in to seem impressive.

White, black, or Asian?

Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2d (5 replies)

American

Ramsesder13te@feddit.org · 3 pts · 2d

In that case, converted to the metric system, 242 Dicks would be about 62cm.

redlemace@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2d (1 reply)

American yes

ftfy

NarrativeBear@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2d

We all know it takes more American dicks to measure a 2x4.
