minus-squareIron Lynx@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up17·1 year agoApparently the UK still uses stone as a step above pounds. Then again, the UK is a hot mess when it comes to units…
minus-squarethen_three_more@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoYep, I’m about 13 stone 1. Which I know is about 83kg. But I have no idea how many pounds in a stone. I do know that there’s about 2 and a quarter lb to a kg. Therefore I must be about 186lb.
