edit: I love how Europeans still struggle to believe that these are what America sees as pancakes. For context, these buttermilk pancakes were so big that I only ordered two and could only eat half of the second one. If you went to our “International House of Pancakes(IHOP)” and ordered pancakes, this is what you’d get. America really is on another level.
They must’ve gone for the classic thirteen sixteenths of an inch!
Though an inch is of course defined as 25.4 mm, so Americans are basically always using metric, just with extra steps ;)
Ahh the industrial inch … if only there were some barleycorns we could really get down to the true height of these tēganitēs …
We actually use American football fields as our base unit.
After the treaty of the meter though, we redefined the length of the handegg field to be 1.0435 soccer fields.
Damn restaurant better be making their pancakes at 13/69,120ths of a standard Football field or I’m gonna be mad, they better be able to prove it with their 192/69,120 standard football field ruler too!
Our main units of measurement are freedoms per square hamburger and bullets per second
