Something went wrong with the units I think
- tbrownaw 1y ago8mm is a bit under a third of an inch (25.4mm), so someone dropped the decimal point.

- rawgabbit 1y agoI think they meant 8 meters as they showed someone dropping eggs from a bucket truck.
- tbrownaw 1y agoThey mention the eggs cracking a middling fraction of the time. Just now, dropping an egg about a finger-width onto whatever my kitchen counter is made of did indeed leave a small crack, so part is an inch is about right.
