A Question of Units

[arturo7]

How big is a shvt-ton?

Is it a ton of shvtloads, or a shvtload of tons?

 

[flars]

Did you really mean short ton, or shot tun?

 

[AnOldUR]

metric?

 

[arturo7]

metric?

I don't think it matters; a metric ton is roughly the same as an imperial ton.

 

[hunter_le five]

2,000 assloads

 

[black_belt]

It's actually a dimensionless number. I'm working metric here. Assuming a turd weight of 200g, or 0.2kg. One tonne contains 5000 turds. So 5000.

How big is a smithereen? I assume it is smaller than a smither...

 

[iijakii]

It's three halves of seven metric fvcktonnes.

 

[FloppyKnockers]

I found a web page that will help clarify things. If a $hitton is the same as a $hit-load then it is approximately 8.3264 x 10^9.

A shvtton is not the same as a shvtload. It is a much larger unit.

 

[badlee]

But it is still smaller than a fu#kton

 

[arturo7]

But it is still smaller than a fu#kton

Which begs the question, how many shvttons in a fvckton?

I thot that was a place...

It is indeed smaller than a smither:

How big is a shvt-ton?

Is it a ton of shvtloads, or a shvtload of tons?

Neither. A shvtload is a load of shvts. A shvt-ton is a ton of shvts.

Now, obviously, a ton is easily measurable. 2000lbs worth of shvt. Which is A LOT of shvt. I mean, god, just too much shvt in one place.

Unfortunately, though, a load is a very subjective form of measurement. One day it will likely become like a foot, which will just be rounded to the average man's load. But for now, it's highly dependent upon the size of the person, and how much shvt they've eaten that day.

Which begs the question:
You eat pieces of shvt for breakfast?

You keep spelling sh*t wrong...

 

[hunter_le five]

sh!t

 

[joshesmusica]

oh stop... you're making me blush.

 

[feinbera]

The butt is a standard English size of wine cask; one buttload is about 491 liters, or about 130 gallons.

Now, assuming a weight roughly equal to water (some are floaters, some are sinkers; let's guess they roughly cancel each other out), about eight pounds per gallon gives us 1,040 pounds – so, a buttload of sh!t is almost exactly half a sh!tton.

 

[MaddBaggins]

Depends if it's ton or tonne. And is it a metric **** ton or just a **** tonne or a metric **** tonne?
Do not confuse with the metric **** tonne.

A smitherette is smaller still...

 

[badlee]

So what is the average size of a shed and how does one figure out how many sh$ttons or fu#ktons are in a shedload?

That's higher math man. Beyond me.

 

[arturo7]

Shed load is only used for bacon.

 

[badlee]

There must be a British/American unit differetiation there then, because to me,that sounds like a shed load of tripe!
