All these comments, and I'm wondering who would ask someone about their height like this...it's pretty easy to estimate someone's height just by observation.

Question, why do Europeans measure height in meters then centimeters(or just centimeters). It seems to make more sense to use decimeters then centimeters. Just one of those traditional things?

I'm trying to think of anything measured in decimeters.

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

M / cm It's such a large difference in length you'd think decimeters would make sense.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

It's not needed, because converting between them takes no effort.

If someone tells you "50 centimeter", you'll know immediately that it's 5 decimeter or 0.5 meter.

Yeah, basically habit of using two digits precision whenever the meter is too big. Conveniently, the first two digits are centimeters. This comic is weird because our dude is using centimeters above 100 and adds millimeters and 10th milimeters to his length, must have been bald shaved at a precision doctor to get these numbers.
