The European mind cannot comprehend that as wood expands, dicks also expands
This makes total sense
More pixels
Can you make it bigger? I don’t want to have to get my reading glasses, they’re in the other room
Sorry, I’m still having trouble reading it, can you make it a little bit bigger? Maybe also change the colors a bit, like inverted or something
What’s even more annoying is that a 2x4 (pronounced two-by-four) isn’t 2 by 4 inches. It’s 1.5 x 3.5 (sometimes even a 1/16 under).
It’s all because of some unfinished lumber bullshit, but it’s still not as confusing as pipe and hose fitting sizing at least.
It’s because the actual cut is 2x4, and the wood shrinks. The typical shrinkage is known and accounted for. It is a treat when a house has an actual 2x though, i.e., it was cut divided by the shrinkage ratio, or cut dry. Related to why framing is done “on center”, i.e., “16 on center”.
pronounced two-by-four
Unless you’re in the south, in which case it’s pronounced “tuba-fur”.
And I also forgot about the Mainers and their two-by-faws
242 dicks
In a row?!
I was hungry
Try not to suck any dicks on the way to the parking lot!
37???!?!?
USA congress?
Really nailed in good there.
In parallel!
This is a terrible measurement unit, even worse than the one we came up with in college for rockets, where we used elephants. Dicks come in all shapes and sizes.
That’s why the standard dick was introduced
No, that’s just Dick, he’s a good guy.
Good guy, very standard.
…and holes
my forst thought would have been dicks lumber down the street but I dont know if they put their name on the wood
silly americans have units of time where there are 60 seconds in a minute, 24 hours in a day, 365 days in a year, and every four years there’s an extra leap year! LOL backwards hicks
Measure twice, cut once!

I assume they’re erect but are they end to end or side to side?
