        Unfortunately, I don’t live in the free world, I live in the “freedom” world. I have to convert km/h to as hell and km/s to as fuck.

      Actually, in Freedom Units it’s 2,040,000 blue whales per hour

      Length of a blue whale: 30 meters 61,200 km / 0.03 km = 2,040,000

        Nope. You’re off by a power of 10 because 30 meters is 0.03 km.

        So it’s 2,040,000 blue whales per hour. ;)

        But in terms of miles an hour? About 38,000. Or, as the crow flies, LA to New York in 3 minutes and 51 seconds. That’s less time than it takes to listen to the hit Madonna song “4 Minutes.”

          Whoops, good catch. I definitely thought .03 and then just screwed it up anyway

          3 minutes and 51 seconds. That’s less time than it takes to listen to the hit Madonna song “4 Minutes.”

          Unless we’re talking the radio edit, of course. Otherwise, four minutes is also less time than 4 Minutes.

        I really feel like freedom units should be hotdogs per second.

        It’s cheating to use footlongs, btw.

          Hotdogs aren’t standardized though. But I guess we could agree to use Kirkland Signature hotdogs, you know, the ones Costco sells for $1.50 + soda at the food court.

            I hear the secret sauce on Big Macs actually contains some bald eagle (allegedly)

      If by “freedom units” you mean football fields, that would be roughly 109,361.33 ff/s.

        Most Americans could probably use metric easily if they just remember a meter is about 180 5.56 NATO rounds wide. A kilometer is 111,111 9mm rounds.

        Easy.

          Why did you use communist units?

          Use the .223 Remington round, which is the civilian version (i.e. freedom variant) of the 5.56 NATO round, and is what’s generally used in the AR15.

          I’ll allow the 9mm because it’s used by the FBI and many police departments, but a true patriot would use the .40 round, which is about the same size, just a little shorter, a little stockier, a little heavier, and a bit more gunpowder. So 98425 .40 rounds wide is one km, or round to 100k.

          Use imperial rounds, not communist metric rounds.
