I didn't even know blue whales contain that much electronics. 🤯
Well they are filter feeders.
honestly better for the average joe
Yeah all those pesky numbers can be wretchedly confusing to those with a room-temperature IQ. Although I suppose that in freedom units that just mean moderately moronic, as opposed to struggling-to-fasten-Velcro-shoes in Celsius.
Do newspapers in non-US countries do this stuff? How are these comparisons helpful 😂 Nope, I have no experience with a pound/kg/stone but now whales, yes, that really helps 🙃
People understand units of measure.
A kilogram or a pound have no real tangible comparison to real world things unless you yourself make the comparison.
It’s fun to equate two things, here they’ve taken things people understand as “huge” and compare them using actual measurements to draw that comparison.
It’s fun.
I hope this helps.
On the other hand, I can pretty much estimate by hand that something weighs around 1kg from experience, but I've never actually seen a blue wale in real life or have a real understanding of its weight.
That's a good point. I tend to see the comparisons as comedy, like a car as big as a whale, but maybe I need to get off the scales and into the books 😅
Give or take a pickup truck.
Very tall whales
I only understand Rhode Island’s.
We talking standard Rhode Islands, or Olympic-size swimming pool Rhode Islands?
International Competition Standards Rhode Island is the preferred measure
a swimming pool filled with rhode-island sauce?
Just Rhode Island or the entire Commonwealth of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations?
It is a god damn conspiracy that Rhode Island is always drawn on the map so small, Connecticut got jealous and entered into a conspiracy with Massachusett to hide the the vast rolling prairies of Rhode Island's great interior by forcing cartographers to cook their numbers and it goes to the HIGHEST levels of Big Map.
Don't believe me? Find a real life human who can proove they crossed Rhode Island in a single day.
Something something metric something something.
