For 100% metric people, that means 1 cubic metre of soil contains ~11 kilometres of mycelium.

- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoPersonally I prefer very-mixed units and contexts, so why not: 61023.7 cubic inches of soil contains 1.97984 nautical leagues of mycelium.
- aSplash0fDerp 6y agoI thought that was funny. Too many fragile egos on HN with no sense of humor. I`m still counting the inches in a light-year, so the nautical leagues perspective made me giggle a little.
- Jedd 6y agoHumour. And we have plenty of it.
- aSplash0fDerp 6y agoNo doubt. I`ve come across a few worthwhile perspectives. Though I observed someone yesterday for the 1st time here that could not form their own conclusion/opinion and was agitated by their incompetence. I agree that the humour is pretty thick sometimes.
- Jedd 6y agoFor people outside the USA, the idea of mixed units, or even just the various interpretations of imperial/archaic, I suspect isn't as intrinsically droll as it perhaps is from within a culture that's still trying to work out whether to adopt a basic measurement system in use across 95% of the planet. However, gripes aside, for fruity measurements you may wish to adopt (read: you may not be aware of, but if you aren't, I suspect you'd approve) the FFF [6] measurement system. The above relationship would be expressed as 54 furlongs of mycelium per 1.2283533E-7 cubic furlongs. (I think) [6] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFF_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FFF_system
- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoHa! Nice. Yes, I wasn’t aware of the FFF system. I particularly like the fortnight as a unit of time! I approve! :)
- uuuuuu 6y agoI try to find excuses to express density in an area in terms of miles per gallon, but it turns out to be surprisingly difficult.
