I had one of these roll over my hand when I picked up a bottle of water two weeks ago. Made a good thud when it landed on the ground.

Thank fuck it was really slow to walk away so I could get a glass to trap it in.

Released 100m from my house because I couldn’t bring it over me to let it starve over days or weeks.

'murican here. Comfortable with the metric system, but not used to seeing number+m to represent meters, so at first I read that as "100 million" and was thinking you shouldn't just burn the house down, but the entire fucking city.

Also an American. I couldn't imagine how big that was so I went outside and measured. It's between 1000 and 1050 Big Macs away from his house for anyone wondering.

I'm in Tennessee, can you translate that into bullets per square child or bald eagle tail feathers, please?

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, but it's about 50 bald eagle wingspans.
