Americans will use anything as a measurement unit except the SI, it seems

Orca is a bit obscure way to measure something. What would this be strawberries so we're all on the same page?

How many strawberries in a banana?

[–] LovelyCupcake@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

4 metric or 5 short strawberries

I mean, I know Orcas are big, but I wouldn't call 84 of them mooshed together "titanic"
