I always find the metaphorical estimates in science reporting absurd. I don’t know why the mass of a male African elephant is in any way more visceral than 6000

I always find the metaphorical estimates in science reporting absurd. I don’t know why the mass of a male African elephant is in any way more visceral than 6000 kg (btw a quick google search gives a band of 1800 to 6300kg, which isn’t particularly precise). Given Titan is about 4.5 billion years old this could be an enormous amount of complex carbon transferred from the surface assuming it’s more or less a one way process.
