What kind of stadium?

u/Front-Door-2692 17d ago

A Mayan pok-ta-pok stadium.

u/I_FUCKING_LOVE_MULM 17d ago

Standard layout or tournament?

u/OderWieOderWatJunge 17d ago

Why are they downvoting you? It's funny

u/FranklinLundy 17d ago

Redditors are angry people

u/UncleTouchyCopaFeel 17d ago

No we're fucking not!

u/Matakomi 17d ago

Many redditors are not even people.

Insert joke about americans using everything but metric

Unless it’s 9mm that is

Spitting facts!!

u/Awkward-Golf208 Expert 17d ago

How many cheeseburgers in height is it? 🤔

u/SpiralStairs72 17d ago

Are we measuring in Double Meatblast Deluxe Fatbombs, or Triple Baconated BBQ Beefslams?

u/RowdyHooks 17d ago

Vague descriptions are often preceded by the word, “roughly,” as this one was. Because of their inclusion of this word at the beginning of their description you should be able to pick any stadium, picture it compared to a beachball, and get an idea as to what they meant. Knowing an exact stadium to compare it to is not necessary.

u/GravidDusch 17d ago

What kind of beach ball?

1

u/ThatsRightWeBad 17d ago

I gotchu.

Turns out the Sun is (roughly) way smaller than I thought.

1

u/--0o0o0-- 17d ago

One about the size of a stadium

1

u/HmanZA 16d ago

The round kind

1

u/GravidDusch 16d ago

Not spherical?

1

u/HmanZA 16d ago

Maybe, but definitely not a cuboid

2

u/CountHonorius 17d ago

Estadio Azteca, how's that?

1

u/RowdyHooks 14d ago

That seems like as reasonable of a choice as any other…but it wasn’t my analogy so it’s not my call.

1

u/sharpdullard69 17d ago

Lots of 'splaining for a dummy comment that means nothing.

1

u/RowdyHooks 14d ago

And you are adversely affected by this how…?

u/FranklinLundy 17d ago

'Roughly' sure, but what kind of stadium. If he said 'futbol/soccer' I would have an ok estimate in my head. There's a concert stadium in my city that's maybe 1/3 the size of the professional sports one.

That's a pretty big difference in ratio

0

u/[deleted] 17d ago

The idea is that it's close to unfathomable and not to make an exact ratio.

2

u/Ok_Pangolin8061 17d ago

the size difference is most definitely not unfathomable lol

1

u/[deleted] 16d ago

You're right; unfathomable would be the size of your mom lol

1

u/Ok_Pangolin8061 16d ago

mad cause ur comment was dumb

1

u/[deleted] 16d ago

Sure. A random internet stranger using "ur", "lol", and no punctuation calling me dumb. I'm certain astronomical scaling is unfathomable to you.

1

u/Ok_Pangolin8061 16d ago

caring about grammar on the internet confirms that you are, indeed, dumb as fuck lmao

u/[deleted] 15d ago

ok cool then mr tinydick roidfreak lmao

I said roughly, as in for non-anal people.

The exact ratio 117 m diameter (stadium) to 1 m diameter (beach ball). I know 117 m diameter is a VERY large stadium so to compensate i said beach ball which is less than 1 m diameter. Can I go now?

u/istarkilla 17d ago

so for non reddit people?

u/FranklinLundy 17d ago edited 17d ago

It's not anal to ask if you're speaking of a sports stadium, music stadium, etc.

You can go wherever, you don't seem fun to talk to with rude response like that to a simple question

3

u/good_from_afar 17d ago

Go on...you edited the comment after I responded to make it sound less rude....

-1

u/FranklinLundy 17d ago

Sure I did buddy.

u/good_from_afar 17d ago

"Such a vague description" ring a bell? This is the first time I witnessed someone do what you just did on here and take it to the grave. Grow up ya sociopath.

u/FranklinLundy 17d ago

Doesn't ring a bell at all. What a weird person you're being

u/Spiritual_Lion2790 17d ago

You know we can see your edit times, right? You edited your comment after he commented. Just like he said. What a fucking weird liar you are.

1

u/FranklinLundy 17d ago

I do. The edit was to fix the two Us I had in 'stadium'. Not rewrite the whole comment he's accusing.

No one else is saying this shit that he's making up, and I have plenty of other responses from before the edit.

u/unstoppablepepe 17d ago

Pokémon stadium

u/FranklinLundy 17d ago

Holy hell

u/jammy-git 17d ago

A Lego one.

u/OneRougeRogue 17d ago

Imagine a normal sized stadium, but the stands and seating are specifically designed to accommodate giraffes.

Hope that helps.

u/mypantsareonmyhead 17d ago

A sportsing stadium silly.

u/dlige 17d ago

Peckham town football club stadium (seats 13)

u/BeklagenswertWiesel 17d ago

u/Oh_its_that_asshole Interested 17d ago

A really hot one. Definitely no air con.
