Can someome PLEASE get a banana down there?
This here.
Yesterday I read a book with lots of drawn (!) illustrations of the largest insects to a 5yo. It doesn't work.
You need specialized hardware - a simple banana would crush under the pressure.
In order to properly measure and preserve the dimensions of the banana, you would need a miniature submarine with a clear glass window.
How they managed to get the pizzas and school bus down there is not explained, however I trust that they did the measurements properly with pizza and school bus submarines.
But most of all, FUCK NY POST
Not possible. Bananas are rich in potassium and potassium explodes upon contact with water.
But is it a metric pizza or an imperial pizza?
How many pizzas in a school bus?
This is perfect for the Anything but Metric comm!
What's going on in the left photo? Does the squid have bioluminescent danglers at the front?
Maybe it’s like my cat when I catch her on my security cams in night mode. Fuckin lasers.
Yeah, it's wild they do actually have large "photophores" at the ends of their arms. More info here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taningia_danae
Taningia danae, the Dana octopus squid, is a species of squid in the family Octopoteuthidae, the octopus squids. It is one of the largest known squid species, and it has one of the largest photophores (light organs) known in any organism.
With such statsian measurements, its hard to tell for the rest of us; are the pizzas big for the US or for normal people?

Its not metric but thats amore.
Costco pizza or Little Caesars
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it true that Europeans still haven't figured out how to land on the Moon? Aside from the US and USSR doing it 50+ years ago, China, Japan, and India have also managed to achieve it by now. Hell, even Singapore and Pakistan are gonna get there before you.
It’s because hydrogen is superior to electric batteries in terms of ease of storage, range, filling up, and probably even energy use.
Confidently incorrect. Love to see it. If only you could ascertain the size of your own head relative to the size of your brain.
Is this because Americans are so fucking stupid they can only guess the size of things relative to the size of other things?
I hope you can stop lashing out at people
What used to be considered a large pizza is now sold as extra large and it really isn't as big as an old large pizza its like what a medium was . So this thing has a big ass body and beedie little eyes
Eyes the size of a large pizza
Which sounds less impressive as it used to, with shrinkflation taking its toll also on Italian food craftsmanship.
“Longer” would also be more appropriate than “bigger”. To me, the latter implies it is more massive in size than a school bus.
Well now I want pizza, thanks.
Is that large pizza like the 1,2m pizza I had in Poland 15 years ago, or a regular sized large pizza at 40-50cm?
