A fascinating thing the universal translator does is unit conversion. It's always hours, miles, meters, liters... Every once in a while there is a culture that uses another reference but generally speaking, it's always the human measurement units.
That is some excellent programming there, kudos to the linguist team updating the database, because it even calculates the equivalence between whatever alien system and human system so that we always know "hour" or whetever, even when it is the first time we meet those aliens.
In DS9, Bajor has a cycle of 26 hours. Did they also divide time the way humans do with a planet like that or their "hour" is a bit longer? Or shorter? Do they have 26 units of time in Bajoran? What is the implication of this? I understand that because it is under Federation management, they use Federation units, which is what we, viewers, hear, but what is the Bajoran measurement? Could it be a different way? (I really would like a mathematician to come to this post with a possibility that makes sense for that same amount of time).
In TOS, they mentioned Sarek is over 100 years old as if that is young for a Vulcan and he makes a comment that that is the equivalent in human years. So yeah, sure, Vulcans live long lives but how old is Sarek in Vulcan years then? Maybe he is 53. How long is a Vulcan year? Do they have months? If so, how many?

Some of us have been so accustomed of being loved in an unhealthy manner that it is like drinking from murky waters of a stagnating little pond, all the while forgetting that there does exist individuals who truly can love in that grand manner as it deserves, individuals with hearts as vast as the sky, with souls as deep as the oceans, with minds as firm and strong as mountains. How ugly it is to even call it love when it is done so meekly, so cowardly, with such shallowness, with barely any commitments, let alone the passion and the zeal it takes to constantly fuel and ignite it. The day you refuse to accept a cheap measure for yourself will be the day when universe itself will open to you the endless possibilities that are waiting out there, just for you, the love that you truly deserve...

Could you rank the male HP Characters in terms of Cock Lenght, like how you see them in RU? Thanks!
Hi Curse, hope you’re doing well.
Thanks for asking! Honestly tough one to answer but here we go.
Harry: 9 inch wonder. Brother doesn’t need the spicy double digits he’s all good with the motion of the ocean. Ginny doesn’t complain.
Ron: foot long subway slammer. Ron Weasley FUCKS. Pair this with his lean, defined physique and you’ve got yourself a winner.
Bill and other Weasley men: 7 inch with a great personality.
Draco: Says it’s 13 is really 4. “It’s big though, like.. in girth,” he says to the hooker he hired off the streets of Paris.
Dean: Gay and POC? The imperial system can’t measure that one so probably like 30cm flat. Weird curve though.
Sirius: “I’ve never measured,”. Has measured, is disappointed.
Remus: doesn’t really matter because Tonks can change whatever she’s got going for her to work around him.
Lucius: unfortunately has something going for him at ten inches but Voldemort might rip it off if Narcissa and Draco fuck them over one more time.
Grindelwald: [REDACTED]
Dumbledore: is dead so im spared.
Arthur: no way Molly had that many kids without enjoying herself. 11 inch people pleaser.
Greyback: considering the fact that he doesn’t wear clothes most of the time it’s probably permanently shrunk due to the cold and Tonks doesn’t think he’s got much going for him so let’s trust her.
Elizabeth: doesn’t have a dick but she gives off big dick energy.
Teddy: bro is a tall lanky natural blonde yeah he’s packing.

AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, DD
What's the conspiracy behind why bra sizes and battery sizing is the same?
And which one did you relate the above letters to first?

It's commonly said that 100 miles is a long distance in Europe and 100 years is a long time in America, but this fails to account for the measurement systems. Europe is metric, the USA imperialist. The proper figures are 161 km and 1,304 lunar kilomonths.

Liquid measurements have been based on the standard 250 ml. metric cup, and the standard 20 ml. metric tablespoon, 5 ml. teaspoon, and 2.5 ml. half teaspoon. 
The slight difference in volume of metric spoon measurements is not so critical in these recipes as to suggest that they not be used.

Why does Lutz make it so hard to find a doll's measurements?! They have jack shit on the English website, I had to go to the Japanese website to find the body measurements... which were less informative than what was on ChinaBJD's page for the recast. And I still had find a middleman site to find the recommended eye size.
Because Lut. was one of the first sellers in asia, and they still have the mentality that you're not a buyer on a commercial transection, but that by selling you their stuff, THEY are doing you "a favor".
