I hope you are joking. There are no decimals in standard measuring systems. Decimals are a Communist plot. ;-)

Unless you're doing any kind of precision manufacturing, then it's decimal inch notation.

The steel that I cut has thickness measured in millimeters, the program wants it in fraction inches, and the torch spacing is in decimal inches. It's a catastrophe but Im getting pretty good at in/mm conversion

Alt: The character The Boulder from TV series "Avatar: The Last Airbender" captioned "The Boulder feels conflicted."

Been wondering why people just upload with “image”.

I try to always add useful alt text.

baronvonj@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y

I'll definitely try and remember to do it moving forward, I didn't know about that feature.

I don't see any alt text in yours when I click the image in my mobile client.

morrowind@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

It's showing up in the html, maybe your image viewer doesn't show it?

baronvonj@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Probably.

Sync supports alt text on xkcd at least, not sure if it does for uploaded images.

Coloradan here. This tweet was a joke response from the sheriff's department to a previous incident where they described a large boulder the size of a large boulder blocking the road.

vyper63@monyet.cc · 10 pts · 2y

Update: I was wrong. The officer meant to say "the size of a small car". The "larger boulder the size of a large boulder" tweet came later as a joke reference to this one.

cholesterol@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y

Probably meant to write 'the size of a large car' originally?

I read coruscantian at first and was thinking about the incident where half a ship shaped ship dropped on us the last week

I imagine a Venn diagram with small boulders on the left side and large boulders on the right and in the middle the one on the image
