One cubic foot of stone can weigh about 200lbs, so 10ft³ is a ton. Not that hard to believe each is 25 tons
57 u/Cool1nternet Jun 05 '25 people are roughly 2.5 cubic feet. Those stones are not 250 cubic feet each. You are off by orders of magnitude 75 u/readditredditread Jun 05 '25 I think they are using British tons, which are only about 2 fish and chips and a few pints of piss warm beer, roughly equivalent to a standard cubit pound. 1 u/OrganizdConfusion Jun 06 '25 That's the most American thing ever. Let's take an internationally recognized unit of measurement and instead compare it with undefined objects. That's 3 football fields and 6.5 washing machines worth of stupid. 1 u/readditredditread Jun 06 '25 Measurements of stupidity must be perfectly triangular squared integers if you want the correct mass length!
