Don't mention "the incident"!

The one from Beavers and Butthead?

Bieber is German for beaver. Finally someone made the connection.

Does justin bieber vary in height so much that they had to specify using his ‘average height’?

[–] Aremel@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

People vary in height throughout the day due to spine compression. You are at the tallest in the morning before your spine has had time to compress. Adults get shorter as they age largely due to the same phenomenon taking place over many years.

But I think that says "average human" and not "average height".

Bieber for scale

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago

Next the beavers will be saying that they're bigger than Jesus Christ.

[–] kraftpudding@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Am I the only one confused because the beaver is clearly shorter than the Bieber?

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago

Bigger != taller explicitly

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

This reads like a No Such Thing As A Fish fact

[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

which one did Winona have?

[–] BluesF@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They were going to say "bigger than Jesus" but it was deemed too controversial.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

Bigger than wrestling!

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

But could they sing as good as him? Scientists say probably.

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Thank god they didn't use metric, I wouldn't have understood

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

And we’ll stop doing it when the Americans catch up. It’s for their own good.

[–] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Bigger than Bieber, the old beaver brushed the broken lever while brandishing a bloody cleaver
