Ok, but also
DDG is just a people pleaser. 🤷♂️
This is just funny:
I’m pretty sure it’s just a fuzzy context match.
The only outlier is that God uses inches apparently?
They make about as much sense as cubits.
Right but I don’t know specifically how the matching is done so I was just funny that the only example I tried seemed to lean into metric and deride imperial. I’m not saying that’s actually the case it just was funny to me that I got that result.
OP:
I dunno bout you, but it’s just easier to say 60ft than 18. 28m!
And I find 20m easier to say than 65.61ft? Sorry, am I missing a joke? Sometimes it’s hard to Poe’s Law the Americanisms.
Not loving the search engine but the phone browser is a life saver. I barely touch web sites on my phone, but fuck me, away from my home setup and Pihole, I want to scream.
Now that’s obviously just plain incorrect. Everyone knows that real units are measured in bananas.
60 feet = 102.857 bananas

Doesn’t seem to work for volume, having tried gallons and teaspoons. But it works for length and mass/weight.
Seems useful for those cases you don’t know what a furlong even measures.
I wonder how well it handles ounces.
Works too, but it’s some AI thingy not the native search (which also uses AI so maybe it doesn’t really matter).
It converts into another imperial weight unity, and an international volume unity…
It didn’t ask for clarification if you are dealing with precious metals…
I’m not sure any system like that can really work for ounces. But well, that’s not bad.
