Two? Double that number, then double it again...

And the depth of at least 10 double decker buses.

I suspect with some work we could even fit Poland 17 in there...

If you put them too close to each other, Russia will try to invade. They're drawn to it sorta like a magnetic Poland field. Once you have too many Poland's, it's best to play it safe.

No, after that critical point, Poland would start to win.

Are you trying to create a radioactive super Poland!?

Mathematics believes it is possible, they just have to work out the optimal packing.

Scientific funding in a nutshell. Fuck me.

El Chavo? Sounds like something the Chilindrina would say.

If you think that’s bad, wait until they try to fit 17!

You try moving a Poland. It's a stout country.

You see, Texas wouldn't fit even once, because it's twice the size of the earth. Europeans will never understand that.

That's measuring with what, how many football fields? You'd still have to convert to American anyway.

It's not really an island though. There's just more garbage there than elsewhere.

Despite the common public perception of the patch existing as giant islands of floating garbage, its low density (4 particles per cubic metre (3.1/yd3)) prevents detection by satellite imagery, or even by casual boaters or divers in the area.

i hear someone was doing something to make it smaller, which i'm not sure how i feel about because we're going to need all the viable landmass we can get

And 13! is a lot of Polands

It can't hold 16! Polands, you're exaggerating

1 poland is 2500,8m tall fyi

I like to bake and I use mostly weights for measuring. When I explain to people how it's easier and faster, I will finish as a joke that I weigh in stones. Those that know how bad a unit of measure stones would be for baking laugh. I dont think it would work as well using "polands".

Not true. This is a screenshot taken from https://thetruesize.com/, which addresses the issue you mention. You can see, for example, that the yellow outline of poland is larger than the cyan one nearer the equator.

Here's one I did myself to better illustrate that effect:

The Pacific ocean has a surface area of approximately 165 million square kilometres, and poland is about 300,000 square kilometres, so on that basis, you should be able to squeeze around 550 polands into the Pacific, though poorly fitting edges would obviously reduce that, but suffice to say, 16 is well undercounted, and the image accurately portrays that

Ssssssssshhhh! We're hiding. Don't tell everyone where we are!
