Similarly, there are proposals to build a telescope on the moon by using a rotating vat of liquid mercury to act as a naturally stable perfect mirror. You need to put it on the moon so it can be exposed to the sky, but not exposed to an atmosphere that will oxidize the metal.

That sounds an awful lot like a scheme from Big Mercury

Circumference is distance around. Calipers won't help unless the dick is perfectly cylindrical. Just use a measuring tape.

Dicks have less irregular cross sections than tree trunks, and those are routinely ranked in diameter at breast height.

I must be reading this dick chart wrong because the lengths seem totally reasonable but the circumferences seem insane. No one has a dick as thick as a 2L bottle. What are we measuring here??

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
For reference, canis minor, a cylinder with equal height and circumference looks like this:



According to that chart, the ideal penis has an aspect ratio a little bit longer/less girthy than this.

Also, the average penis is 5.2" long and 4.6" in circumference, so firmly in the "E" category. so yeah that chart is hella bullshit.

It's circumference, not width. Take the number on the chart and divide by 3.14 for width.

I can't believe they didn't even study circularity, dangle angle, profile (mushroom vs carrot), upper vs lower camber, position of maximum chord, etc. Like are they even trying to be scientific?

But then that would mean that most women find sex with men unsatisfying. Surely they would have said something by now if that were the case.

It simply means you won't be able to use the digital wallet for any of the named purposes, only the unspecified blue ones, which are however equal in significance to the sum of all the other tasks, which therefore serve as a helpful point of reference.

Die Rettung fuer die Landwirte:
Enabling the ID to sign things is actually pretty nice. When the German ID was rolled out that was strangely forgotten, despite being a very compelling use case. You can use your ID to authenticate against a number of government sites, but what I really want is a digital signature I can sign stuff with that can be validated by anyone.

Yeah we do have that here in Sweden called a Bank-ID, you either enter your personal number or scan a QR code, and then enter your PIN on your mobile device, and it's for confirming your identity for a number of things. Signing in to places, digitally signing documents, and the like. It's nice and convenient.

And we didn't even need an incorrectly designed chart!

the danish nemID system from 2010 was just a laminated fold-up with OTP codes that you used with username + password, but that was too easy to man-in-the-middle so now there's a bunch of steps. currently, mitID works by entering your username on the site, then opening & authenticating the app* via pin or biometrics so you can scan a qr code shown on the website, and then finally approve the access

* no notifications, presumably to prevent people from muscle-memorying approval even tho it wont work without the qr code

Medals only weigh one down.

The labeling, which is clearly "these AND much more", must always take precedence. Without words, the chart means nothing, so we must take the words at face value.

It's a chart of answers given to "Q1: which of the following do you believe will be a use case of the EU digital wallet?"

The area under "these and more" is the same as the rest, implying that "more" is actually nothing.
