Just to put it into perspective:

If only there were a more convenient way to express 0.1cm.

2.0712373074578E-7 Leagues I find the most convenient and before you ask of course I am talking in Persian miles.
Unsolicited dick pics are generally frowned upon...
It's approximately 0.00000497 Furlong
It's about 1/76th the height of a Big Mac from McDonald's.
Big Macs are a measure of weight not distance. Though you can also use them as a measure of force as long as you assume they are in 1G.
American or European?
It's about one thirty-oneth attoparsec.
If I learned something from star wars is that parsec are a unit of time, so get out if here!
200000 beard-seconds tall.
How about 6.684587e-15 Astronomical Units?
0.1 of a cm... Also known as a millimeter.
We have words you know.
For the yanks, that's 1/60000th of a washing machine
But I need to know the length in first downs. Can you do the conversation?
Dryer*
What the crap kind of washing machine do you use that's 20 storeys tall?
.001m
It's easier to represent as 0.000001 km, imo.
I really think 0.000000001 Mm is clearer.
I prefer (3^2 -2^3 )^(1/2) /(10^9 )^-3 +(74^57 /2^37 /37^2 )/(2^20 *37^55 )-1 qm
Why wouldn't they just say a millimeter? .1cm is something a non metric user would say.
It's common for scientists to prefer a decimal point in their measurements because they are inherently limited precision, but "1 mm" leaves some ambiguity as to whether you meant 1.0 mm or 0.1 cm. It's a matter of significant digits, since leading zeros are ignored.
It is literally prefized with "roughly".
As an imperialist, i would have opted for 1/256"
Tiny mushrooms spook me because all I can think of is them growing inside my lungs and on my body hooking me into the network
Eat a bag of psilocybin mushrooms and think about why being plugged into the mushroom consciousness scares you...
That... Sounds like an awful thing to do
Both cute and deadly probably.
But you'd probably have to pick quite a few to get poisoned, if it even is poisonous :)
Hey there little fun guy!
Let's play a game! It's called "Psychoactive or Deadly?"
Looks like those trichomes are starting to go amber, it's about time to harvest!
That's just about how small I like mushrooms cut in anything I eat.
ok but how does it taste?
0.04" is about 3/64"
That's damned tiny.
Found the American! Now do feet, thumbs, eyelashes and football fields...
Isn't it slime mold and not a mushroom at all?
It's a mushroom:
Mycena subcyanocephala is a species of fungus,[1] which has its habitat in the tropical parts of Taiwan. It has been spotted eight times. Mycena subcyanocephala is one of the smallest mushrooms in the world, with buttons about 1 mm tall. The species belongs to the Mycenaceae family, with Mycena interrupta being its closest relative.
It isn't, but you're right that slime molds can be this cool!
mmmm interestin gas fuck
Gas fuck? Where?
