If they’ve think corgis are that big, how enormous did they think Queen Elizabeth II was????
Size ≠ weight.
Meteors tend to be much heavier per cubic centimeter (or half-garlic if we're still avoiding metric) than short-legged dogs or geriatric monarchs.
this is lemmy, it has become en-reddit-ified so theres a ton of illiterate morons here just trying to meme for updoots
Yeah. How dare people use the internet for humour. Fuckers.
Meming for updoots? In a community called "funny"?! Goodness gracious me!
ooooooof didnt check the comm
がっかり
According to my translator, that means
The meteor had a diameter of 60cm, a corgis height is listed as around 30cm (and they are about twice as long as they are high), so it roughly checks out.
looks at my corgi
sees it smoking a blunt, becoming longer and longer
Assuming that the Queen weighed 60kg (the internet is vague on that one) and an average Corgi is about 12kg, that would be somewhere around 20 baby elephants in weight.
Baby elephants per Corgi is also a (now) new unit of density.
Happy to help.
