For context, texas is a state roughly the size of texas

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.
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.

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!

The size of a corgi? That's nearly an 8th of a bald eagle. If it's really the weight of a baby elephant, then that's at least 200 pistols. That's hella dense, but i wish they'd use standard measures. I hate having to translate that into American like this.

They do that to invite curiosity that facilitates learning. But. I get you.

Anyway what kind of pistols are we talking about here? A Desert Eagle .44 weighs in about 72oz while a baby elephant is about 200-300 lbs (lets settle in at about 250). Therefore, that is 1000 lbs. A thousand pounds is 16000 oz and that makes it about 222 Desert Eagles .44.

I don't know who runs the Jerusalem Post, but they are constantly measuring asteroids passing near Earth against ridiculous things.

182 beavers - https://www.jpost.com/science/space/article-754217

6 Darth Vaders (on Star Wars Day) - https://www.jpost.com/science/article-741979

That's just a sample. They do it all the time.

Probably just to grab attention
Okay this gotta be just simply poking fun on Americans
Oh c'mon now darth vader has lost some weight since

NASA's just going to get more and more specific to these:

"So there's this asteroid that's about the size of Ted from Accounting. Now I mean Ted Abrams from Accounting, not Ted Hillman. Okay? Big difference. Anyway, so it's roughly the size of Ted, but, like, if Ted tucks himself into a loose cannonball like he's diving into a pool. I mean, he's not tightly compact like a ball, we all know Ted isn't that flexible. I mean, not since he threw out his back a couple.of years ago, poor guy. But get this, y'all: this sucker weighs the same as a 1972 Ford Pinto. Only it's a Ford Pinto that's had the engine block removed, is missing the right-read tire (the wheel is there, just no tire), has a quarter tank of gas, and there.are three.Verne Troyers in the seats. Huh? Yeah, the.guy who played Mini Me. No, no. The guy from Jackass is somebody else entirely.

Okay, but yeah, that asteroid's gonna land smack dab in the middle of Carmel, Indiana's KFC at about 2:43 AM EST on February 11th, 2024. It'll mostly disintegrate by the time it hits that a couple of tiny pebbles might bounce off the roof, but it's important that we let you all know this stuff."

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?

300mm spherical, 480 kilograms.

Why does that sound like something people put on their Tinder profiles

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

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?

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.

What really matters is ~~how many sideways corgi per elephant yawn~~ it was traveling toward Texas.

Wiki

A meteor or shooting star is the visible passage of a meteoroid, comet, or asteroid entering Earth's atmosphere

So, a corgi-sized meteoroid?
