One standard volume giraffe of course, i.e. the volume in m³ an average giraffe would fill (at room temperature and sea level), when passed through a blender. And then half of that
The Daily Mail readership will not fathom your question. It is a rag for those who would follow MAGA but want to appear intelligent without have either the natural talent or putting in any work to increase knowledge. Baseline racism is a requirement
Bilaterally as is the way.
They could have just used inanimate objects not requiring bisection; basketballs, refrigerators, cars, busses, buildings, etc. Why bring sn abattoir into the mix?
I’m surprised they didn’t use immigrants as the unit.
I don’t get why Americans are doing their best to avoid the metric system. It’s always weird discriptions. Like dishwashers, or in this case, half a giraffe. Just use bananas if (cubic) meters are too complex.
It’s not like we don’t have imperial units to use. It’s just easier to visualize an object you’re familiar with than 20ft/6m or whatever other unit. Giraffes is a strange choice though.
Friends of mine are expecting a child. They have an app to compare the current size of the baby. It has the weirdest choices:
- Wedding cake (they are always the same size? Depends on the budget right? So if you’re rich your child is bigger than when you’re poor, when it’s the wedding cake size?)
- flat box of chocolates (always the same size? Flat child?)
- small popcorn bucket
- small pinguin (there are so many differently sized small pinguïns)
- cotton candy (last one I had was huge, I feel sorry for the woman with a child that size in their womb)
- maki
- jackfruit
- rhubarb (so it’s a stick shaped child?)
- kitten (a grows the most as a kitten. They are kitten for the first year. It’s like saying the size of your baby is the size of a baby.)
I have no clue what these sizes are exactly. I do know what 10cm or 20cm is.
