Can someone convert the measurement to bratwurst for the Europeans?
Are we talking Ball Park or Costco sized?
Asking the real questions.
99 bratwurst
How much is that in beans?
25 cans by volume, or 87 cans if its linear
A absurd grump for an absurd headline: What toasts my buns about this article is that it uses hot dogs as a unit of “size” when it really means length. The asteroid is actually the size of millions of hotdogs, because asteroids and hotdogs are both three-dimensional.
I actually first assumed that they meant three dimensional volume when I read “size” and wondered how we saw such a tiny comet. Quite confusing (read: bad) choice of title…
Anything but Metric
I don’t know what 100 hot dogs looks like, and I hope I never find out
Who the hell measures anything in hotdogs? I’ve lived in America my whole life, and I’ve never heard anything but the Nathan’s Hotdog Eating record measured in hotdogs.
Obligatory “Americans will use everything but the metric system” joke aside, I wonder how astronomers can even discover an asteroid this small.
I love that this headline is followed by the “moderator” and “admin” tags by OP so that it looks even more official. Like yes, this is a normal unit of measurement, so says the admin lol
Quick somebody call Joey Chestnut! Only he can save us!
What size hotdog we talking about here? NASA: Hotdog the size of 50 beans
Anything is better than the metric system.
It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No it’s weiner sizzle
Americans really will use anything but metric, huh?
