  Taking it even further who the fuck uses inches or cms for vegetable cutting measurements anyway, it’s like, one or two fingers thick

    Why not make it even more ambiguous by specifying the desired cutting width in “circumference of my dick”.

      Would that be flacid dick inches or erect dick inches?

  It's to do with how I think about numbers, rounding, and margins of error. I don't know how to express that better, I'm sorry.
