Thats’s comparable to a single strand of spaghetti holding up about 3,300 one-pound bags of sugar

Dear lord I really needed that to be brought down to my level. If they just say 3300 pounds, I have no idea how heavy that is.

Have you looked at the US lately? If they can read, they still might miss it. 😅

I don't mean to brag, but I can effortlessly walk right through spiderwebs & destroy them.
