WET AF

omg, I was laughing so hard when I saw that 😂

Would you believe it stands for acre-foot? ☝️🤓

The acre-foot is a non-SI unit of volume equal to about 1,233 m3 commonly used in the United States in reference to large-scale water resources, such as reservoirsaqueductscanalssewer flow capacity, irrigation water,[1] and river flows.

Haha. No, I looked this up just 2 minutes ago, but what a coincidence, huh? 🤣

Cool! Check this out...

The following is a list of the first two rivers by outflow and the Mississippi in acre-foot:

River Outflow (ac-ft/s)
Amazon 181.6
Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna 35.6
Mississippi 17.3

Crazy that the top is over 5 times more than the next one 😮. The largest outflow in North America and the one I've seen in person is the Mississippi, which is only 9.5% the outflow of the Amazon. The Amazon is over 10 times more than the Mississippi, which I thought was humongous in person 😮.

On to sewers, which is what one of the uses for the acre-foot according to your quote. The following is a list wastewater generated by location:

Location Generation (ac-ft/s)
Asia 5,073.6
NA & Europe 2,124.6
All 3 Continents 7,198.2

So the outflow of the Mississippi alone is greater than twice the wastewater of Asia, North America, and Europe combined 😮!

My math may need to be checked 😬

non-SI unit

astrophysics

Well no, I don't think I would believe that.

[-] Kichae@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, it's so unbelievable. The acre is much too large a unit to fit into the astrophysical canon.

It's a capitalization issue caused by its COBOL processing code.

The correct is atto-Farraday.

Also, Autofocus… as in “This camera has fast AF AF!”

I'll be honest, I sometimes find your comics a bit hit or miss. No shade, just the humour doesn't always match what I like. But this one is hilarious. You killed it. I audibly laughed when I got to the end.

I find all of them hilarious. With this one, I predicted the ending, but they way they celebrated gave me a chuckle.

Thank you. 😊
TBH, I like comics that don’t pack all of the fun in the last panel. They’re harder to write though, so I don’t make them that often.

[-] CustardFist@feddit.nl 15 points 3 weeks ago

Thanks. ☺️
Actually, Hit-or-Miss was my nickname in highschool. Some liked it, some didn’t. 😉
