Actually this is true... An inch is about the distance of a carpal on your finger. A foot is well... a foot. A yard is half your height or armspan... This made more sense when measuring instruments weren't widely available.

This is an ancient technique that's been used by marksmen for centuries and with practice, it becomes quite consistent. Especially if there's an object of known size at the distance you're trying to gauge, like a window(usually 1m), a person(1.6-2m), etc
For those who don’t know this form of measurement is called parallax. Parallax is the observed shift in position of an object despite no movement actually occurring. This measurement is normally used in the field of astronomy. There are two basic forms of parallax. It is used to calculate the distance of an object, usually a celestial body, from the Earth which is called geocentric parallax. And, it is also used to calculate the distance of an object from the Sun which is called heliocentric parallax.

I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what.

Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night.

@@omerpasa3328 by putting your thumb in front of the mushroom cloud. if its bigger than your thumb, youre dead, (even tho if its smaller than your thumb, youre probably still dead)
This is why the Fallout Boy in the fallout games is shown with a thumbs up, because he’s using this method to measure the cloud from the nuclear bomb. If it’s larger than his thumb he is supposedly in the radiation zone.

The rules of this world are determined by that same principle of 'right or left?? In a Society like this table, a state of equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era, this World has been operating by this napkin principle. And the one who 'takes the napkin first' must be someone who is respected by all. It's not that anyone can fulfill this role... Those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those are the 'losers'. In the case of this table, the 'eldest' or the 'Master of the party' will take the napkin first... Because everyone 'respects' those individuals.
It's called the parrallax method usually used to measure distances to moon and celestial bodies generally doen with telescopes and calculations as the distance is the and angle between thumb positions into thdividing the estimated length between postions
Fun fact this is called parallax and it’s how astronomers measured the distances to nearby stars. It’s also where the term parsec comes from, standing for parallax-second and it represents the distance to an object that exhibits a parallax of 1 arc second or 1/3600 of a degree
this sistem is utilized in sights and its known as the mils or thousands scale, a thousands is optical aperture of 1m at a distance 1000m this is usually seen nowadays for measuring 1.7m at x distance in sniper sights it can be seen as a series of marks at a corner that go in a curved shape in other sights such as ww2 german sights as triangles that are separated and are lined horizontally, depending on the area of the triangle you use you can measure different sizes
Learned that from my grandpa who learned it in the German Navy during WWII. You can also use the width of the thumb with the thumb jump to make others understand of which far away object you’re talking.
As someone who studied architecture, i can say i sometimes correctly guess distance at first look without measuring. But ofcourse we don't do that. So we still had to measure it 😂😂
Fun fact, a similar method is used to measure the distance to nearby stars called stellar parallax. Depending on how much these starts move when we orbit the sun, we can judge how far away they are

Fun fact: In the event of Atomic Bomb detonation, or other nuclear explosions that result in a mushroom cloud, doing the same method, if you can cover the entirety of the cloud in your thumb, you are safe enough away. If the cloud is bigger than your thumb, you are in fact still too close and probably might die.
@@caydanhunsaker3822 I say probably might because the result is inconclusive. There are people who have survived such explosions, and then there is the mass majority that did not. So I cant say "You will die." nor "You will most likely die." Might die is a chance given by the rare few that survived the explosion but were later dead after it all or not. Probably die is the shitluck chance the rest had, you either were atomized by the explosion, or you somehow made it by the skin of your teeth which would upgrade you from probably, to might.... so.... You probably might die, why? Shitluck chance that being too close can kill, and the deadly radiation and fallout afterward still could kill ya.
@@acompy Correcting Fact: You can see the detonation from 250-300 miles away. 1 Atomic Bomb with an exact yield of 1 megaton will destroy approximately 80 square miles. 8 Nukes, each with a yield of 125 kilotons apiece, will destroy 160 square miles. As with President Truman, and Oppenheimer, they both witnessed the same explosive magnitude, and were safe from the blast radius, yet they were able to see it clearly. And not to mention the plane that dropped the first nuke, Fat Man, also was able to clearly be in sight of this nuke, and safely escape its blast radius as well. If the mushroom cloud is a tiny prick in the sightline of your outstretched thumb to the distance, the blast radius will not reach you.
@@TheDragon0102 Interesting comment but its still wrong. Just because your thumb covers the nuclear blast it doesnt mean your safe. Radiation is blasted to up to a hundred miles, your thumb will cover up the blast yet you will still have dangerous radiation rained down on you.

damn we really won the evolution lottery with that
Fun fact: In the event of Atomic Bomb detonation, or other nuclear explosions that result in a mushroom cloud, doing the same method, if you can cover the entirety of the cloud in your thumb, you are safe enough away. If the cloud is bigger than your thumb, you are in fact still too close and probably might die.
I like how it's not probaly die or might die it's you will probably might possibly die... maybe
@@caydanhunsaker3822 I say probably might because the result is inconclusive. There are people who have survived such explosions, and then there is the mass majority that did not. So I cant say "You will die." nor "You will most likely die." Might die is a chance given by the rare few that survived the explosion but were later dead after it all or not. Probably die is the shitluck chance the rest had, you either were atomized by the explosion, or you somehow made it by the skin of your teeth which would upgrade you from probably, to might.... so.... You probably might die, why? Shitluck chance that being too close can kill, and the deadly radiation and fallout afterward still could kill ya.
Fun fact: This is wrong, if you can see the detonation at any distance you are too close and are gonna die.
@@acompy Correcting Fact: You can see the detonation from 250-300 miles away. 1 Atomic Bomb with an exact yield of 1 megaton will destroy approximately 80 square miles. 8 Nukes, each with a yield of 125 kilotons apiece, will destroy 160 square miles. As with President Truman, and Oppenheimer, they both witnessed the same explosive magnitude, and were safe from the blast radius, yet they were able to see it clearly. And not to mention the plane that dropped the first nuke, Fat Man, also was able to clearly be in sight of this nuke, and safely escape its blast radius as well. If the mushroom cloud is a tiny prick in the sightline of your outstretched thumb to the distance, the blast radius will not reach you.
@@TheDragon0102 Interesting comment but its still wrong. Just because your thumb covers the nuclear blast it doesnt mean your safe. Radiation is blasted to up to a hundred miles, your thumb will cover up the blast yet you will still have dangerous radiation rained down on you.
talet math aigh?
Dude unlocked old as measuring methods
Nobody:
A literal random kid: *"Mom, why is that man constantly giving me a thumbs up?"*
I cannot tell the distance because I am blind in one eye😞😭
This is how old rangefinders work
