4-leaf clover larger than a credit card?
Measured from the base of the stalk, maybe? Rather than the diameter of the leaves

#102It's really laggy by the time you get to Tokyo Tower. My computer is hot.
Huh? I was about to comment the exact opposite, I was super impressed by how smooth it was!
And that's running on a 3 year old low-end ryzen 3 laptop processor, on firefox in fedora.

#103Goat: 45cm Duck: 50cm Might as well say “shuffled emojis with random data attached”
Also, the "running man" being bigger than a cow and about the same size as a horse...
But what really bugs me is that it simply uses some font it finds on your system, so on my slightly outdated Linux version it only shows about 70% of the emojis. I mean, if there was ever a perfect use case for webfonts, it would be this page...

#104Earlier quoted context omitted.
Ants where I live tend to be far larger than our mosquitos. When you say "far larger", is that twice as big? 10 times bigger? 1000 times bigger? I might have to avoid where you live.
The ladybug one must be way off, where do they have 1cm large ladybugs? That sounds terrifying. I'd say our mosquitos are closer to 1cm, although they're long but thin. There's more of these which are really weird, like the 12m cactus.
It's probably a seven-spot ladybird; those average about 10mm. I can assure you that they aren't terrifying at all.
Re: Show HN: Emoji to Scale
#105Cool idea, but since one one dimension (height?) was considered, you get some weird things like a cactus (12m) being way bigger than a house (7m).
According to Wikipedia, Saguaro cacti "can grow to be over 12 meters (40 feet) tall". So, a real old and real huge Saguaro can be bigger than your average house (or palm tree): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saguaro#/media/File:Saguaro_wi.... But I would say 99% of them aren't...

#106Would be interesting to see this in a (log scaled?) histogram. Probably a lot of things in the 1 metre order of magnitude.

Oh yeah, I looked it up too and was really surprised, being from Cetral Europe and having never seen a cactus outside of a pot before :)

#108Slightly tangential to the author's intent, but is there any way in modern web front ends to discover accurate DPI info of the screen you're on, and therefore at least attempt to create correct physical sizes for UI elements?

I thought this was a mistake but it checks out.
Re: Show HN: Emoji to Scale
#110I want to know why the Astrodome has a soccer field instead of baseball and more importantly, no dome!
They even have 6 flags on the stadium ( which I'm assuming is a reference to Six Flags over Texas, could be wrong though) but no baseball field?!?
Weekend ruined!
Awesome project OP!
