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

And my dick!

If your axe melts, maybe you're using the wrong metal

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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.

Which one is which?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

But how many bananas tall is Carlos?

[–] peteypete420 1 points 21 hours ago

Looks about two and hald freedom eagles tall

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That ain't nothin on Great A'Tuin

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

Of course you don't get giant turtles that small

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Ssh, you'll give the flat-earthers ideas!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Carlos is 5 meters.

Those are some nice slip-ons

Thank you Carlos, very cool

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

Pretty sure he's just been hung vertically. For we know he's a stuffed exhibit

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

I came to ask if we were witnessing the plank master at work. Glad I wasn't the only one.

[–] SapphironZA 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is that a standard Carlos, or an imperial Carlos?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Given that South America has a greater native genetic pool but still mixed genealogy, International Standard would be adept.

Never seen this applied to South America before. Pretty sure they'd be just as pissed off if you called them Americans as Canadians are if you call them Americans, even if America is in their continents name.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Thank you!

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

With a slinky for scale.

Behold, dog!

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Death by turtle stampede would be a unique way to die.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago

Slow and unique.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Carlos is smaller than a turtle! LOL

He smol.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How many football fields is Carlos?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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