Aaargh,l! Can we stop dumbing down science and just use cubic meters and kilograms so everyone can understand the joules of energy released should such a body hit the earth?!
I’m so tired of hearing the stupid side of earthlings refer to things as “the size of a house”, “the size of a bus”, “three times as large as the Hiroshima bomb”, “weighing more than fifteen elephants”, etc., it is just stupid to assume some jackass in the MSM even knows what that means, so we ought to be hitting back with really comprehensible information.
I always want to ask, “who’s house?”, “what kind of bus”, “African or Asian elephants - male or female, and how old?”.
This faux science reporting drives me crazy because of the assumed ignorance of the viewers, when the talking heads are even less informed about what they read on their teleprompters.
Well they said 10 to 30 meters, so it could be 100 to 900 cubic meters....................

At least we know (’cuz they told us) that it’s bigger than a breadbox. </*’)
You had to go there...
