“that much cocaine — the weight equivalent of three fully grown male African elephants —”
First time I’ve seen this unit of mass.
- stavros 5y agoI wonder what the most useless unit is. Maybe "that much cocaine - the weight equivalent of one containerful of cocaine -".

- feupan 5y ago"that much cocaine - the weight equivalent of 3 million unladen swallows"
- stavros 5y agoOr two million swallows laden with cocaine.
- Hallucinaut 5y agoAfrican or European swallows though?
- thaumasiotes 5y agoCan a swallow still fly while carrying 50% of its own weight? I think you've underestimated the laden-swallow equivalent.

- _jal 5y ago"Weighs as much as a garden hose long enough to circle the earth almost 18 times."
- marginalia_nu 5y agoBut how many olympic swimming pools is that?
- TheSpiceIsLife 5y agoThe equivalent of four football fields.
- BbzzbB 5y agoMade me wonder what the real length would be. Per this random website [0], a 5/8th inch rubber-vinyl hose weighs 2.52 oz/foot, A.K.A. 234.39 g/m. Therefore, 19.76 tons of cocaine (or, you know, whatever) in hose-equivalent would measure 76.48 km. 0: https://rebootmygarage.com/3-weights-garage-hose-storage/ https://rebootmygarage.com/3-weights-garage-hose-storage/
- thaumasiotes 5y agoAssuming you formed a big circle out of that and set it spinning around the earth... how much would it weigh? ;D
- vnchr 5y agoIt’s 69.6 buttloads[0] of cocaine, assuming the full volume of a shipping container. [0] https://www.brightcellars.com/blog/how-much-is-a-buttload-of-wine/ https://www.brightcellars.com/blog/how-much-is-a-buttload-of...
- mikysco 5y agoyou should really round 69.69 buttloads up to 69.7
