A kilogram or a pound have no real tangible comparison to real world things unless you yourself make the comparison.
It’s fun to equate two things, here they’ve taken things people understand as “huge” and compare them using actual measurements to draw that comparison.
On the other hand, I can pretty much estimate by hand that something weighs around 1kg from experience, but I’ve never actually seen a blue wale in real life or have a real understanding of its weight.
People understand units of measure.

It’s fun.
I hope this helps.
A kilogram is a 1l bottle of water. A ton a 1m3 cube of water or a car. 10 ton a truck.
Anything bigger is just unimaginable ^^
Anything bigger is your mom
everyone makes this comparison, in the mind of a normal person 1kg is a 1l bottle, they’re the same concept in the brain
