Also reminded me of ‘small boulder the size of a large boulder’
Anything but metric
An asteroid the size of 5000 9mm rounds weighing as much as 4000 kilos of seized cocaine
Finally a measurement I can relate to.
I can’t. I need it in 7.62 NATO
But metric can still be applied. Hear me out.
So a yard is roughly one meter. It means a kilo-yard is about one kilometer and a centi-yard is one centimeter. How many miles or inches that is, is a conversion problem within the imperial system.
In the same way, a quart is about one liter. Milli-quart is about one milliliters. Easy. How many gills those are is not our problem.
There is no immediate equivalent for weight, although a double-pound would be roughly one kilogram.
It’s almost like Imperial system units have all been borrowed from different measurement systems that should have nothing to do with each other. Tho I could get behind 12 inches in a foot, that seems nice to divide
Americans formulating newer and more insane measurements because they can’t use normal ones
It is our heritage
Most of America use metric.
Lies made up by big measurements
No.
Yeah, but how many washing machines big was the crater?
Reference
“A meteor the size of a Hot n Ready pizza that weighs roughly the same as four coal-rollers declared war on our freedom! Emperor Trump vows to destroy all meteors in the galaxy!”
And he’ll make the Kuiper Belt pay for it!
I don’t know who runs the Jerusalem Post, but they are constantly measuring asteroids passing near Earth against ridiculous things.

That’s just a sample. They do it all the time.
Okay this gotta be just simply poking fun on Americans
Probably just to grab attention
Oh c’mon now darth vader has lost some weight since
So anywhere between 30 and 60 cubic decimeters and 800kg and who knows what they still consider a baby elephant.
So… Almost between tierce and a rundlet? Or is it just over a quater?
That’s one dense meteor
See, it worked!
How much is that in washing machines?
(4*baby elephant weight)/(washing machine weight) = (4 * 110 kg) / (70 kg) ≈ 6 washing machines
As someone who has had to move washing machines up and down stairs, i have to correct your value there, a washing machine is closer to 43.2 metric tonnes
Only when moving on stairs, when on the floor it weighs like 30lbs tricking you into thinking it will be simple to take to the second floor.
300mm spherical, 480 kilograms.
Why does that sound like something people put on their Tinder profiles
Some Alex Horne metric that is
How many Little Alex Hornes per baby elephant?
Hoe many cubic football fields is a corgi?
That’s difficult to imagine, a cubic football field would exist in six demensional space.
How many dimensions does a corgi exist in?
All of them.
That looks like the CD Ram it down by Judas Priest.
How many banana again?
What really matters is how many sideways corgi per elephant yawn it was traveling toward Texas. It doesn’t say.
