        Never seen this applied to South America before. Pretty sure they’d be just as pissed off if you called them Americans as Canadians are if you call them Americans, even if America is in their continents name.

      Given that South America has a greater native genetic pool but still mixed genealogy, International Standard would be adept.

        Add “stereotyping”…

    Idk… is Carlos an SI-compatible unit? Because if not, this could be any size. Maybe he is a dwarf, maybe a giant. It could be anything! /j

    I really hope Carlos is getting paid to work there. Bet he has abs of steel, though! Dudes rockin’ washboard abs but is far too modest to show them off.

      About 3/200 of a football field, or roughly 24 Big Macs.

        Real Big Macs, or ad photo Big Macs that are twice as big?

          Around 20 ad-tier Big Macs, or ~31 shrinkflation Big Macs in 2025. Unfortunately the Big Mac as a unit of measurement was standardized way back in '89 so it may not be as consistent with modern-day readings.

          Now measuring in Baconators is likely to be more reliable when looking across a longer period of time, but you’ll have to factor in the different conversion ratios depending on whether you’re dealing with a single, double, or triple. The double is the base unit and is defined as 1/71 of a 1995 Ford F150.
