This hurts so bad to think about
Which part? The ruler that can’t exist or the part where finished lumber is smaller than the listed size?
The thought of reaching into my toolbox and pulling out a measuring tape that’s labeled wrong without knowing it. He did a good job with this comic. That thought sucks so bad.
…the ruler exists, it’s a metric ruler. This is a metric joke comic. The 2x4 sizes are in metric…
You are welcome.
No, this comic is about nominal vs actual lumber size. Both tapes are imperial.
I want whatever crack you’re smoking that made this make sense
Overconfidence and bad eyesight I guess.
