“0.012 m^3^ meteor weighing 400 kg hit Texas”
Boooooring.
So it's roughly the size of a bucket.
Couple of buckets if it's corgi size.
Well. A corgi-sized bucket, anyway. Not one of the bigger ones, great dane or so.
you could also say 12L meteor weighing 400kg .. which is pretty cool, imagine 12 cartons of milk weighing the same as 4 fairly large people
For non-metric users, three gallons of milk is probably more accessible. 400 kg is 880lb, which is roughly 12x as dense as water, which is the wild part (or it feels like it, that could be a totally normal density for stone, I’ve already put too much effort in for napkin math on a shitpost)
1.5 fairly large people. You're talking to Americans, remember.
I mean they were probably already confused by the L and the cartons of milk ..
Soda is generally sold in 2L bottles here, with single liter bottles growing in popularity. Alcohol is usually sold by the ml, though in units like "fifth" and "handle."
Milk though, milk is sold in half-pints (not sure why they don't write cup), pints, quarts, half-gallon, or gallon. I like to pretend a quart is a shrinkflated liter though.
In your example of why the American system is bad resort to using the American system because nobody had any context?
Check mate atheists.
