Velocity is speed in a given direction. She only calculated speed.

Ts ts ts. Not metric enough.
The only useful miles is Miles O'brien.
Not useful, but kind of cool:

We don't have metric months, only imperial month's. Yeah, you can convert them, but I don't want to deal with the number of bee wing flaps per 13,7 minutes at sea level right now.
Metric is for people who don't have a floating point coprocessor in their head.
Looks pretty young for a 32 m.o.
Fun fact: if you take the displacement between your current position and the exact place where you were born, and divide it by your age, you can get your average velocity
Yeah, for most parents, measuring age in months ends right around the one year mark. For obvious reasons.
That and there's no way the kid in this cartoon is 32 months. That's 2 years, 8 months. Walking and talking and likely ~15kg. While not impossible, that would be pretty hard to yeet up to 16.4 mph.
Oh, you like math?

I know plenty of parents who refer to their kid in months through year two, as you're hitting milestones every month or two (vaccines, physical/psychological development, age limit for certain pharmaceuticals, etc) and "2 years" is such a big milestone for them all.
Also, kids who are premature make things extra complicated. I still refer to my son as "13-months adjusted" because if I said "16-months" people would wonder why he was so small.
While I agree with you, I also have to say that a significant percentage of people have no idea of the size difference between 13 and 16 months, and that saying 13 months adjusted is a little silly, but fun! So you do you.
people have no idea of the size difference between 13 and 16 months
People with their own children notice the difference more readily
She also likes extra apostrophes.
Or is "month's" a contraction of something?
km/h lady, km/h. Or m/s at least.
As one of the Americans, home of useless made up measurements, I've made an effort to get used to using Celsius at least, mostly just by using weather reports that use it. And while it hasn't provided much utility living here other than understanding comments made by foreigners occasionally, I do like the system so much better.
This next year I'll start trying to familiarize myself with length/distance.
I love how metric works so much better. It definitely hits a happy spot in my brain for organization.
Due to living here I can't just forget the murican system, but it would be nice not to try to need a conversion lookups every time I hear a story about something that happens somewhere else.
This joke gets posted so frequently, it should be eligible for flyer miles.
32 months ain't baby, 32 weeks would have been more acceptable
month's
Oh, Rob. Rob, Rob, Rob.
Through this comic I've thought of a great argument against the anti abortion crowd: asking their birthday.
If they don't add the months prior to the day they flopped out of mother's meat curtains, they agree they weren't alive before.
Isn't "birth" defined as the process of being, quoting you, "flopped out of mother's meat curtains"?
I like the enthusiasm but it's called "birthday" for a reason
