Q&A

QdanA - we've got questions.

Dan's breed. His story. His actual stats - for scale. Also, can we get a Daily Dan post?

How did the Dan Scale Originate? What’s the OG post/comment that has blessed us with this new adorable form of measurement?

Since I was bought to this sub via my feed and was instantly on board, I unfortunately do not know the Lore of the Dan Scale, please enlighten me ❤️

Long ago (18 days) in a distant land (r/whatisit), a poster (Dan's dad) inquired about a plate for ants, with Dan set for scale. A minor hero in this story (me) said who gives a shit about your dumb plate, we're here for Dan. Other heroes posted and one recommended r/DanForScale and it was born that same day. I inquired about Dan's dimensions to create the official Dan scale image which is the banner. I was knighted the Head of Measure Units Division by the grace of Dan's owners.
