      Wow. We’d be lucky if that were true today. With slavery, it’s 3/5, but with things gerrymandered correctly, it’s essentially 0/5.

      Americans might know it as the more accurate “tunsend of corn kernels”. Or similar to a “heft of wayfarer”, or a “diggerty of pebbly straw silk”.

      About 1000 yard.

      Or very roughly 100,000 barleycorn.

      It’s a device for measuring kilos, obviously.

      • 3 280.84 feet
      • 1 093.61 yards
      • 198.84 rods

      Take your pick.

       


      Edit: Whoops, forgot to provide my source for the date aspect: NIST Handbook 44 2024, Appendix C: General Tables of Units of Measurement, page C-5, footnote 3 (Warning: PDF) – Sorry about that!

          Isn’t the measurement usually in bananas?

          Well, let’s say the typical minimum diameter of a burger patty is 2 inches, and the typical maximum diameter is 6 inches, with a mean of about 4 inches:

          That would mean that, depending on the diameter of the patty, and assuming all patties are the same diameter, 1 kilometer equals approximately 6 562–19 685 burger patties, with a mean of 9 843.

          (All values were rounded up to the nearest integer.)

      It’s a device that measures things in thousands. A kilometer would say a kilometre is 1000 metres. I’ve bulk ordered 1000 meters if you’d like one.
