> The headset, which weighs as much as a cauliflower
Christ, I just learned the length of a football field (and that there exists a different futbol pitch). Now I have to learn how much random vegetables weigh?
Can we at least stick to Brassica oleracea in the future? Whats the brussel sprout equivalent?
> A medium-sized head of cauliflower is about 6 inches across, weighs about 2 pounds and makes 4 to 6 servings after trimming off the leaves and stem. [1]
In all seriousness this seems like a total deal breaker:
> Typing via finger pinches or dictation was a pain, so I used a wireless keyboard. Even that had problems. Touch-typing in that context wasn’t easy, and the writing felt out of phase. The letters on the screen appeared after a very slight delay, just enough to make it feel like my words were being pulled through a wormhole on their way into my document.

- zamfi 3y agoForgive me if I missed the joke, but Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts are in fact both cultivars of Brassica oleracea...
- Humphrey 3y agoIt only occurred to me recently that when people compare something to the length of a football field, they are probably talking about American Football. I had always just assumed (without thinking about it) it was the length of an Australian Rules Football field, which can be almost 70% longer! It must be about time we all just used metres and grams?
- metaxy2 3y agoPractically no one would ever be talking about Australian Rules Football (outside of the handful of countries where that's popular, of course), although presumably outside of the US they'd often be talking about soccer.
- Gare 3y agoFortunately, difference in length of an american football field and FIFA recommended soccer field is only 5 meters, and basically can be rounded to 100 m.
- defrost 3y agoIt's big (well, was big) in the "Americans react to weird stuff elsewhere" genre. Lot's of US wannabe sports youtube influencers react to Gaelic football, soccer, and Aussie Rules. Close to practically no one, but they do fall outside of the regular AFL fan domain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJo199LD0Fk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJo199LD0Fk
- signatoremo 3y agoHuh? Do you buy groceries or cook? Now I know exactly how it’d feel in my hands. 600 grams sounds very abstract. The Atlantic isn’t a review site.
