Whew.. 😥 💦

That was close. I thought this was going to be about some kind of Eifel tower reference found in the documents.

Ew french architecture. How about real American units? What's that in statues of liberty?

Are they talking about Height, Weight, volume? A bit hard to work out volume, but I can give you Height and weight to start with.

I realised I'd originally used metric metres and tonnes, so I've redone the calculation using Real American measurements:

Eiffel Tower
Height: 162 Hulk Hogans
Weight: Approx 72,993 Hulk Hogans

Two Eiffel Towers
Height: 324 Hulk Hogans
Weight: Approx 145,986 Hulk Hogans

Statue of Liberty
Height: 46.5 Hulk Hogans
Weight: Approx 1,460 Hulk Hogans

Rounded to the nearest 0.5 Hogans.

Based on the above, we can work out that there's:

Approx 7 Statues of Liberty (by height)
Approx 100 Statues of Liberty (by weight)

This is a great honour. Thank you :)

Are you using Hogan's last weight before being cremated? Or do you know the weight of his ashes?

fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 206d

The one off his wiki page, which I imagine was his wrestling weight. You make a good point though - I imagine his height was also somewhat reduced in ash form.

Well, in the US we have regular ounces and Florida ounces, so whatever the worst option is, use that one.

Ahh, easy visualizable examples

My greatest weakness

I think that unless you've seen the Eiffel tower with your own eyes, it might be quite difficult to visualize how big it is.

Everyone in America knows the Eiffel Tower is approximately 1 kilofeet tall (edit: I tried to make an additional joke here but imperial was too confusing)

One could also measure the Eiffel Tower in terms of Epstein file dumps. The Eiffel Tower is 0.5 Epstein dumps tall.

I do believe the correct unit is a metric fuckton.
