It is headed towards the earth at the speed of an unladen European swallow since we’re using esoteric measurements now.
Ok who the fuck is coming up with these size comparisons ?!what the fuck is 6 peacocks like are they adult peacocks? are they male or female? So many variables. Also funny they have actual numbers for size in the article
The article does specify. Six adult male Indian peacocks
As for who came up with it uhhhh… *opens peacock tail as a distraction*
Ok who the fuck is coming up with these size comparisons
Someone looking at the site traffic numbers. The internet is so stupid right now.
Are the peacocks “open”?
Peacocks are male
Peahens are female
Peafowl is the collective term for both
Oh shit I didn’t know that thank you helps with the comparison lol
I love the clarification, thank you!
England is, obviously. It’s Americans may measure everything in Freedom Units, but at least we don’t measure weight in “stone.” When some weirdos measure stuff with rocks, it’s not surprising that they measure rocks with birds.
6 peacocks is such a vague level of measurement that it borders on incomprehensible
difficult to visualize
Is this the same one that weighs as much as an adult rhino? If so, I’m not sure I trust NASA on the peacock to rhino conversion factor.
Are they comparing the weight of the rhino in space to peacocks on earth? So many unanswered questions.
Pretty soon it’ll be “Asteroid the size of your mom headed towards Earth”…
The peacocks are measuring its length, not its weight
Do your peacocks only exist in one dimension?
Yes
NBC chimes sound discordently
First a post about a satellite the size of an adult rhino. Now this.
Did I miss the part in school where metric and imperial were replaced by the Serengeti Standard?
Serengeti Standard
New band name
Yes, we apparently WILL use anything as a unit of measurement if it means avoiding the metric system. Letting DJT create “Space Force” was such a goddamn mistake, but I guess they had to distract him from the nuclear football somehow that week…
What is the conversion from peacocks to football fields?
I want to know if they are using male or female. Because they vary in size depending on gender
Are we talking mass, or just surface area?
I’m not comfortable with six peacock asteroids
Another article with the “asteroid the size of [insert random object here] flies close to Earth!” bullshit title.
African peacocks or European peacocks?
I dont know. Wait… no… AHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh
hmmmm
😂
How many chukars is that?
Could we also have it in fruit bats?
Can someone please make a freedom units converter, these measurements are confusing.
I am so unfamiliar with the size of a peacock that I couldn’t even tell you how many peacocks big I am, and I am attached to myself right now.
I know. They chose peacock. If they’re going to be choosing random objects, why not ‘92 Escorts?’ '82 bottles of Soveign du Chateau? Keurig cups? Water filters for a GE fridge, model #CH65YS2GSA6594?
Someone spun a wheel or pulled up ChatGPT - only explanation I can find.
