Talk:2308: Mount St. Helens

I suspect the wiggles in all the hand-drawn lines are actually more than the changes in height of the various mountains, and almost certainly not correlated to the actual changes in height, since this is all unknown. Barmar (talk) 00:56, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

This comic needs to be translated to non-retard units 162.158.155.212 07:41, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

It's pretty common to measure things in years. And while measuring in 20 year gaps isn't normal, I wouldn't call it retarded, especially when they're probably chosen for a good visual spacing. Mikemk (talk) 08:54, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

Maybe he meant feet, which is not a SI unit. I guess the user got the wrong feet out of bed this morning? ;-) --Kynde (talk) 10:04, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

All twentyish attoparsecs, you mean? (Yanks like using measures that give them bigger numbers. Feet instead of metres, inches instead of metres (or feet-and-inches), pounds instead of kilos (or stones-and-kilos), US gallons instead of UK ones, the wrong sort of billion/etc. :P ) 162.158.159.76 11:22, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

It might have been inspired by the art installation where someone cut off the peak (one inch of rock) of Scafell Pike.
