I expected them to be a LOT bigger. Because of the cartoon, I thought they were a little bit smaller than the emus that I grew up around. Nope little fuckers are like 1.5 feet in length and 1 foot in height. Chickens are much fatter.

Honestly I never really have fully gotten the whole metric vs imperial debate. The best solution is a hybrid system, which we already use and most people don’t realize it. Like if you are in a country that already used metric, guess what your time keeping system is from? From the older imperial system! Guess what you use if you are in an imperial country? You use liters, milliliters, gram and milligrams for stuff already! Just mix the two so you have the best of both worlds rather than try to remain dogmatically stuck with an objectively worse version of either system.
Goddamn I thought you had reading comprehension for a second there, my mistake.

Here is an article for metric time: metrictime.info
Does that look that look like the classic 24 hours in a day system most people use? No? Congrats than you learned something today.

If you want to convert people who use imperial then don’t be an asshole and alienate them. But if you are gonna be an asshole at least be right about the thing you are talking about. I know metric time is largely forgotten but at least have a basic understanding if you want to talk shit.
I’m from the EU (Spain), they are 100% in the metric system, but the Imperial system is certainly difficult to kill, for reasons I don’t know, used in Nautics, Air Traffics and curiously also in Plumbing, where tubes are still in inches. The biggest drawback in the Imperial system is that it leads to errors (NASA crashed 2 Mars probes because of it, before changing to the metric system), it’s because the different units don’t have any relations among these and are complete arbitrarily, which difficult a lot of precise calculations. Never was a good idea to use the bodyparts of a death King as measure units.

What next you are going to ask how many inches in a mile? Those are two units that aren’t used in the same context. I’d be like if I asked you how many seconds are in a year. Or if I asked you how big a notebook is in kilometers, rather than in centimeters.
A hybrid system really isn’t as wild of a concept as it sounds. We already just use conventional time keeping, metric is largely forgotten because of how unhelpful it was.

Doesn’t mean you have to take all of the weird units and conversions from imperial but it means to cherry pick the best of both worlds so we have a system that just works with what real people use it for.
1l of (4°C) water weighs 1kg.
1kg (of anything) is 1000g.
1g of water is 1cm³.
Stack 1000 1cm³ blocks to get a 10m high column.
This column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base.
1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second.
And to heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal.
Meanwhile if you convert feet to miles, you get 5,280, for some reason.

Wily was literally starving all the time. He wasnt able to run top speed because he didn’t have the energy and his muscles are atrophying.
Though this is still mostly all his own fault. He always bought machines to try and catch the road runner instead of exercising and if he could order dumb contraptions, he could have also just ordered Domino’s.

But Wile E. Coyote didn’t run after the Road Runner. He was a “Super Genius” so he used traps and contraptions and purchased solutions to achieve what he was above. If he had just chased after the Road Runner, he would eventually catch it.
That is part of the joke.
Iirc there’s an episode where he chases RR and catches it, then scratches his head for a bit wondering what to do next… then ties it to a rocket for no reason, with entirely expected outcomes.

Hey, fuck you and let me enjoy my childhood cartoons.
How fast can coyotes run on just their hind legs though?
Those that do compensate with a vast intellect.
Half the limbs, half the speed.
Meep! Meep!

Next you’ll tell me coyotes can’t operate catapults or rocket shoes or even paint brushes!
Do they not even have business cards???
They got Steve Fosset’s credit card after he crash landed his plane…

Look at real examples of road runners that were posted and notice the distinct lack of YouTube thumbnail/Pixar animation face on the real birds.
But replace “me” with “it”, I’m on mobile or would have done

Hyper realistic, but not a photo. Too far on the other side of the uncanny valley.
real birds don’t have ahegao youtube thumbnail face
Take a closer look at the legs. They look photoshopped from another different photo They’re also all fucked up, proportion-wise.
None of the claws are planted on the ground (how is it standing up?)
Shadow on the rightmost leg doesn’t match the lighting. Shadows on the body are too soft.
Etc…
