Yet DDG still uses AI. Better use Startpage instead. It’s like what Google used to be before they became shit and evil. I find it has better results than DDG, next to that they don’t use AI. They also value privacy. And it’s Dutch, so non American.
Your phone keyboard also uses AI. And file search you use everyday.
Please, don’t boycott the good company just because they have a separate fancy UI for a chatbot.
Most AI features were turned off by default for me and if you really want to be sure, there is always https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ you can use.
60’ is 18m.
Y’all need to learn about significant digits.
60’ is 18m
60’ is 60min(utes)

I don’t have to learn shit about that goofy ass measurement system
That’s obviously an AI-fake!!!1111
I’m convinced the Imperial system is like those languages they make up for fantasy novels. I’ve only ever witnessed it in D&D and it seems impractical to learn for the day to day.
You usually don’t convert the units in the day to day. Either something is a few inches, a few feet, or a mile away. Construction workers can usually measure stuff out by hand (literally) if they’re doing stuff like framing.
A cup is quite literally a standard cup size. Any modern recipe will just be like “2 ¼ cups of milk” you can measure it or eyeball it. Anything smaller and you’re using measuring spoons anyway, so conversion doesn’t matter again.
If you haven’t, you need to try Kagi search and that’s the best search engine in existence
OK, that got me smiling hard. :)
Ok, but also
DDG is just a people pleaser. 🤷♂️
This is just funny:
I’m pretty sure it’s just a fuzzy context match.
The only outlier is that God uses inches apparently?
They make about as much sense as cubits.
Right but I don’t know specifically how the matching is done so I was just funny that the only example I tried seemed to lean into metric and deride imperial. I’m not saying that’s actually the case it just was funny to me that I got that result.
OP:
The duality of duck.
I can tell that a student on a software engineering placement had a very fun afternoon making this

Used this all the time until I recently stumbled across the cli program
unitsIts not a joke! It actually works!
Does it work for football fields to real units?
I use noai.ddg and don’t get the converter thingy.

I don’t get it for football fields or other ‘anything but metric’ units which is what I was going for.
theres one for olympic sized swimming pool which is a substitute for volume.
oic, yeah. When I try to convert “football fields” into meters, it gets it confused with sqft.
A football field is 100 yards, so just try “100 yards in real units” if you’re genuinely curious.
I use noai.ddg and don’t get the converter thingy.
Tried going to regular ddg and don’t get the converter thing, just regular results. I probably turned off a setting somewhere.
Really curious what the pattern is here. I don’t get the converter on noai either.
I’m getting it intermittently too, for what it’s worth. Depending heavily on the unit. For example, I tried and realized “100 yards in real units” doesn’t work, but “100 feet in real units” does.
I don’t want to ask it yards. I want to ask it in ‘anything but metric’ units like football fields and Olympic sized swimming pools.
Didn’t try regular measurements before, but yeah now I see it when I use those.
120 yards really, the end zones are part of the field.
True, but:
When the “football field” is used as unit of measurement, it is usually understood to mean 100 yards (91.44 m),
Now that’s obviously just plain incorrect. Everyone knows that real units are measured in bananas.
60 feet = 102.857 bananas

Ecosia:
Yes, but:
I dunno bout you, but it’s just easier to say 60ft than 18. 28m!
And I find 20m easier to say than 65.61ft? Sorry, am I missing a joke? Sometimes it’s hard to Poe’s Law the Americanisms.
Yes, you’re missing the joke.
he’s missing it by like 1,609.34 meters…
It would be easier to just say a mile.
What a stupid figure of speech.
What’s a mile?
About 15 freedoms long
put your conversions in krunner like the foss gods intended
