    I love when they compare size to so many of something that it’s no longer understandable. “The same size 20 Olympic swimming pools!” Ok, I have no idea how much that is now.

      That’s still easy to imagine, compared to the volume of 6000 gummy bears.

        To be honest with you I’m not really sure how big a single Olympic size swimming pool is either. 😅

          I just fell into a rabbit hole the size of an Olympic Swimming Pool.

          Before your comment, i didn’t know this was a thing.

          TL/DR

          • Length: 50 m (164 ft 1 in)

          • Width: 25 m (82 ft 0 in)

          That’s the size.

            Unfortunately, they come in various depths depending on if there is a diving pit or not. Also some of the larger natatoriums will combine up to three of them side by side so they have more lanes. The standard size is 8 lanes IIRC.

        Thanks, but I have just finished episode 1 and there’s not a single sight of Danny DeVito? He’s not even listed in the main casts? Is he just a side character or guess star in this show?

          He joined the show starting season 2 and is in almost every episode from that point forward. If you’re seriously just starting Always Sunny, I’m extremely jealous of you. Being able to watch it for the first time is always a wild ride!

            Should I just skip season 1? Do you think it’s worth watching?

            I’m at episode 3 and honestly I haven’t felt it “click” yet. The comedy is based on the main 3 guys being idiots, and that’s not the kind of thing I enjoy.

              He does add a lot to the show, but at the end of the day, the gang acting all stupid is the entire show’s shtick.

              I don’t know about watching it without having seen all the prior episodes but “The Nightman Cometh” is funniest half hour comedy ever produced.

          He doesn’t appear until season 2 and it’s hilarious. He’s in every episode after that.

          If I remember right, the way it’s depicted in the show is basically how it went in real life. DeVito showed up to the set and was like “let me be part of the gang!” and they were all “okay why not?”
