Whats that in Rhode Islands? And how about mass, can I get that measured in bigmacs?

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

It's over 9,000 bigmacs. This is what the ruling class does instead of feeding us. That's over 9,000 bigmacs in waste. Per loss. Just flame broiling in the atmosphere instead of going to where it would help the most.

129 / 4.307213e+10 = 2.9949761 x 10^-9

That's in sq ft. Rounded. Length x width of a pickup truck divided by surface area of Rhode Island as reported on Wikipedia
