how measurements work in canada (ie/ badly)

@/teaboot

This isn’t even a joke it’s just what we do

I still don’t understand the distance thing. How the fuck do you measure distance in time?

Probably as “time it would take to travel the distance,” like “two hours away by car”

(some people would say just “two hours away” because it’s taken for granted that “car” is the only method they’d ever use)

(i personally would specify the means of transportation, or at least the speed, because it is meaningless as a unit of distance without that)

(why we talk about interstellar distance as lightyears instead of just years. Even though light is the only thing that actually makes that trip, so you could take it for granted if you were lazy)

(Yori likes to mess with Tron and use “Lightcycle” to mean “how far light can travel in a cycle” and Tron just thanks the Users that she’s not talking about “nanoseconds” again)
