No units -> my brain reads those numbers as ages...

Those elves are too young to be dating.
- Going by which lore though. In D&D 5e, Elves reach adulthood by 100 years of age.
  
  Whichever one is funniest.
  
  So... Keebler.
- I thought they were pounds and had no idea why that was relevant to the photo-taking issue.
- I thought the same for a moment too lol and lacking any contextual lore I tend to default to 10=1 years conversion to get a rough idea of how old they're probably considered by society so... basically an 18 years old dating a 15 years old... yeah... come back to that one in a few decades time bruv when yer lives are more in sync and you're both matured.
- 150 in elf years is basically 15 for a human.
- this is why the US customary unit system is superior to the metric system, we don't even have to write out a unit, we just hit an annotation.
  
  classic feet and inches W
  
  obviously /s but seriously go get your own shorthand units, it's nice.
- LMAO you're not wrong tbh
dang they're pretty old
- And still getting taller. That's crazy
If anyone is interested, here is the original (I think):
- lmao that's much more perfect than the version I posted
  
  I think not, I like the anime version
- Women: I only date TALL men!
  
  Tall men:
- Isnt 188 cm just barely 6'2? Not 6'4.
Finally a height meme where I can understand the heights given
- What heights?
  
  I don't see any heights mentioned.
  
  No height, just a very old couple
I immediately thought they were talking about weight.
- Weirdly, I thought years. Like these were elves or something.
  
  I've been playing too much D&D, I need to spend some time in the real world.
- I assumed a vampire anime.
- I thought it was age
  
  Reminds me of a Billy Crystal joke.
  
  105 year old man and his 99 year old wife go to the judge to ask for a divorce.
  
  "Are you sure that you want a divorce at your ages?"
  
  "Yes, your honor, we haven't been happy for a while and it's time to end things."
  
  "Why did you stay together for so long?"
  
  "We were waiting for the children to die."
- Same 🇺🇲
6'6" (247.5 Oreo Cookies for those of you who use that measurement). My wife is 5'1" tall.

When I was growing up my mom would always say "the tall girls are going to love you!" Every tall girl I ever asked out shot me down in flames.
- I am 5'5" I have been flirted with by a surprisingly high number of near or above six foot women. The weird part is that most of them have known damned well I have the emotional capacity of a irate toaster in a research facility. Also I only get that they were flirting years later.
  
  How did you end up with that lack of emotional capacity?
- For anyone else using reasonable units that's 198,12 cm and 154,94 cm respectively.
  
  for everyone who actually uses metric, that's 198 cm, and 155 cm respectively :)
  
  that's too many significant figures
  
  I'm impressed you were able to convert the Oreos! 😉
This post is lit because of the cm measurements.
Height in centimeters? I don't entirely get this.
- It's what most of the world uses. Tea-ville and Yeehawland are the only two that typically use imperial still.
  
  We don't even use the same type of imperial either
  
  If France could just lie for a few years and say that they're adopting the British system, it might persuade us to finally metricise properly out of spite and I'd be extremely grateful to them
  
  In Germany, we usually express height in meters and centimeters, like 1 meter 58 or 1 meter 88.
  
  Not just tea-ville, but former tea-ville colonies also measure human height in feet and inched. And former tea-ville colonies make up a large portion of the human populace.
  
  But no matter where you are you'd better add units!
  
  ~~Most of London~~ The UK uses Miles Per Hour for speed limits. That's just the biggest example off the top of my head. Your assertion is inaccurate.
  
  Edit: A weird thing to downvote but ok. It's more than just London, it's the whole UK.
- Height in centimeters?
  
  Yeah, it's in centimeters. 158 cm is 0.000853132 and 188 is 0.00101512 in nautical miles, if that helps any.
  
  Alternatively, as a smaller scale, 158 cm and 188 cm are only 0.01727909011373578 and 0.020559930008748905 football fields, respectively. Hope this helps.
- Yeah I had to read it twice to figure it wasn't years. And I use metric, so I know exactly how tall these two are but for some reason it didn't click on the first read
  
  It would be easier if it was 1.88 and 1.56 :)
  
  I think the anime picture adds to it. I thought it was about the "my witch girlfriend is actually 500 just in a childs body so its not pedophilia"
  
  It doesn't help that they didn't state their units.
  
  I guess one upside of living in a country that uses both metric and imperial frequently is that these things tend to click pretty quickly. The lack of consistency is annoying, though.
- It's nothing. Without a unit those are just numbers. A can of coke isn't 12, it's 12floz.
  
  Or so my metric companions don't shit themselves in their panic-induced rage at the sight of imperial units, a coke can isn't 355, it's 355mL.
  
  It's actually 355 ml.
- No, in feet, they're actually giants.
- Practice using metric. Not kidding, as an American it’s sometimes frustrating but most things are available in metric and there is a quite large convenience factor
  
  I can tolerate distances in metric, but I draw the line at personal measurements!
- millimeters, they are Irish
A difference of ~11" 4/5ths, or about 6' 2" vs 5' 2". 📐
Gosh I love Edelgards design
How is that a meme?
- How isn't this a meme?
  
  Meme a how isn't this.
- I think it's based on an actual photo.
Ha! As if a mere angle could out-influence my rejection sensitivity.
