Very tall whales

I didn’t even know blue whales contain that much electronics. 🤯
Well they are filter feeders.
Give or take a pickup truck.
I only understand Rhode Island’s.
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.
We talking standard Rhode Islands, or Olympic-size swimming pool Rhode Islands?
a swimming pool filled with rhode-island sauce?
International Competition Standards Rhode Island is the preferred measure
Just Rhode Island or the entire Commonwealth of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations?
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.
A kilogram or a pound have no real tangible comparison to real world things unless you yourself make the comparison
A kilogram is a 1l bottle of water. A ton a 1m3 cube of water or a car. 10 ton a truck.
Anything bigger is just unimaginable ^^
Anything bigger is your mom
unless you yourself make this comparison
everyone makes this comparison, in the mind of a normal person 1kg is a 1l bottle, they’re the same concept in the brain
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 😅
Something something metric something something.
