    100 m = 100 meters = 0.1 kilometers. Miles is abbreviated mi, as in 100 mi. I’m disappointed in you, The Picard Maneuver. Your jokes, shitposts, and memes are usually so much better than this. Are you ok?

      Thank you, lol. I didn’t make this one, but in its defense, I read it as an anti-joke shitpost. I believe it’s intentional.

        anti-what? Is that like a negation on an actual joke that turns it into a non-joke but you can still read off the joke from its remnants?

          basically. to make an anti joke you take the template of a normal joke and swap the punchline to something that isnt a punchline anymore.

          here is a anti-meme for example

          Thanks. I knew it wouldn’t land for a lot of people. Anti-jokes don’t usually play well, but I thought it was amusing.

      The Picard Maneuver

      Around here I think we’re supposed to refer to them as TPM.

      Until today I had assumed it was derived from “total percentage of meters” but now I just don’t know.
