Magnum dong for scale.

So how many DeVitos wide is the wingspan of quetzalcoatlus?

sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works on 06 Sep 2024 20:19 collapse

Well I don’t know what that is but my educated guess is 3.5

burgersc12@mander.xyz on 07 Sep 2024 07:47 collapse

Its closer to 8, Devito is 1.47 m and the wingspan is 11-12 m

I love when they compare size to so many of something that it’s no longer understandable. “The same size 20 Olympic swimming pools!” Ok, I have no idea how much that is now.

kamenlady@lemmy.world on 06 Sep 2024 20:40 collapse

That’s still easy to imagine, compared to the volume of 6000 gummy bears.

Paradachshund@lemmy.today on 07 Sep 2024 00:11 collapse

To be honest with you I’m not really sure how big a single Olympic size swimming pool is either. 😅

kamenlady@lemmy.world on 07 Sep 2024 00:30 collapse

I just fell into a rabbit hole the size of an Olympic Swimming Pool.

Before your comment, i didn’t know this was a thing.

TL/DR

  • Length: 50 m (164 ft 1 in)

  • Width: 25 m (82 ft 0 in)

That’s the size.

Today I learned. Thank you, stranger!

You are welcome, not a stranger anymore, fellow lemming. ⊂( ̄▽ ̄)⊃

Unfortunately, they come in various depths depending on if there is a diving pit or not. Also some of the larger natatoriums will combine up to three of them side by side so they have more lanes. The standard size is 8 lanes IIRC.

chillbo_baggins@hexbear.net on 06 Sep 2024 20:59 next collapse

Whoa 🤔 I’m about a Devito and a half tall! (rounded up) That makes me feel strong!

I could probably lift two Devitos!

please recommend me your favorite Danny Devito comedy movies and shows.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

cordlesslamp@lemmy.today on 07 Sep 2024 10:09 collapse

Thanks, but I have just finished episode 1 and there’s not a single sight of Danny DeVito? He’s not even listed in the main casts? Is he just a side character or guess star in this show?

Denalduh@lemmy.world on 07 Sep 2024 11:35 next collapse

He joined the show starting season 2 and is in almost every episode from that point forward. If you’re seriously just starting Always Sunny, I’m extremely jealous of you. Being able to watch it for the first time is always a wild ride!

cordlesslamp@lemmy.today on 07 Sep 2024 16:51 collapse

Should I just skip season 1? Do you think it’s worth watching?

I’m at episode 3 and honestly I haven’t felt it “click” yet. The comedy is based on the main 3 guys being idiots, and that’s not the kind of thing I enjoy.

Denalduh@lemmy.world on 07 Sep 2024 22:58 next collapse

He does add a lot to the show, but at the end of the day, the gang acting all stupid is the entire show’s shtick.

bitchkat@lemmy.world on 08 Sep 2024 00:57 collapse

I don’t know about watching it without having seen all the prior episodes but “The Nightman Cometh” is funniest half hour comedy ever produced.

Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net on 07 Sep 2024 20:23 collapse

He doesn’t appear until season 2 and it’s hilarious. He’s in every episode after that.

If I remember right, the way it’s depicted in the show is basically how it went in real life. DeVito showed up to the set and was like “let me be part of the gang!” and they were all “okay why not?”

This page has a good list.

How many Danny DeVito’s long is a Boeing 747?

Somewhere in the ballpark of 50 DeVito’s

I'm on the fence, but about a microdevito from agreeing
