Today, I had to explain to my boyfriend that miles are the same distance for everything. He thought that human miles were different than mouse miles, because they're smaller. He's 34. FML

Damn, so when that mouse was bragging to me about running several miles, he was talking about ACTUAL miles?! That IS impressive.

Tbh I did for a while too. I mean, their little feets, put into the equivalency of ours, running across half a block, would make a mousy mile. I understood then, and still do

Wow, wow, people here assume they know all about mice science, measurement systems etc. Bet you don't even know how to read the black dot scripts, think its just poo.

Mice along with most of the world have advanced to the Metric system, Mice use Kilometers not miles. Everyone knows this. :p

following his logic, are there also small people miles and tall people miles?

That's kinda cute... In a way he's right- what a mile is to us would probably seem a lot longer if we were that small.

In what world would mice have to keep track of distance? Well besides the worlds of Fievel, Jerry, and Mickey. Never mind.

Actually nautical miles are different OP. Feet: 1 mile = 5,280 ft 1 nautical mile = 6076.115 ft That is the sole one I know of that differs though :)

Conceptually, he's not super wrong. if a mile is 5280 ft. and a foot is roughly the size if a human foot, if you substitute mouse feet, then a mile would be a lot shorter!!
