How long is that thing?

A foot.

About as long as a foot.

Oh cool, I have two of those to compare right here. Thanks for telling me how long stuff is in an easy to understand way.

What about that thing?

30 centimeters.

How long is a centimeter?

A hundredth as long as a meter.

How long is a meter?

As long as the distance light can travel in a vacuum in 1/299752458 of a second.

Please throw yourself off a bridge for using bizarre measurements developed by frenchmen.

Whose foot? Chances are yours isn’t even a good approximation.

Jokes aside, there isn’t even such a thing as foot anymore. All these idiotic measurement units like feet and elbows have thankfully been deprecated and are now simply a name for a certain amount of civilized units. Foot is exactly 0.3048 meters since 1959.
