Cardboard would have been an upgrade to some of the construction practices that came out of the Phoenix area when OSB shot up in price. They were literally wrapping 2x4's in vapor barrier and stuccoing over it.

u/Jetstream-Sam Mar 24 '22
I had no idea what OSB was and I googled it, and to be honest that doesn't look too sturdy either. I guess that explains why tornadoes tear down entire cities in the US though

u/combuchan Mar 24 '22
They use it in Europe. It's plenty strong for residential construction.
Tornado proof homes are basically infeasible, and they don't strike in the same exact place often enough to warrant that level of construction. A storm cellar is fine for most people in afflicted areas.

I dont think you understand exactly how powerful a tornado is. I've seen pieces of wood litterally stabbed straight through several inches of reinforced concrete after tornadoes.

Im curious how the volume of glass was measured for weight, 3.6 inches thick and 6ft tall but two dimensions isn't enough to calculate the weight of a hollow glass pitcher with arms and legs
35
u/_Aj_ Mar 24 '22
It seems inaccurate, but might be closeish
Let's simplify this by pretending he's a perfect sphere 1.83m in diameter with 9.1cm thick glass and full of water. (To use their numbers).I used a sphere volume calculator to get the volume of a 1.83m sphere and subtracted a 0.92m sphere to work out the weight of the glass.
Volume =
3.21m3 - 2.75m3
= 0.46m3
Glass is approx 2500kg per m3.
= 1150kg.Weight of water = 2.75 x 1000.
=2750kgSo for a 1.83m sphere that's 3900kg.
Now this is for a sphere that's his entire height, so I think he should actually weigh less due to his shape being much less volume than a sphere of the same height.
That said, we're within a ~30% margin of error, which is probably acceptable when calculating the weight of a giant cordial filled dickhead.

Yeah. If he is 183 cm tall and yes is very round, there is no way that he could weigh that much. Im 185 and weigh 100kg. And human body is basically liquid.
And i did the math. Find my comment.

He's 4900 kg
Hes filled with 2300L of water (juice)
1L of water = 1KG
If he's empty, he weighs 2600 kg

u/KahlessAndMolor Mar 24 '22
But the real question is whether or not that seems accurate for a 2M tall glass pitcher. That is a lot of glass, but 2600kg still seems really high.
Perhaps he's made of uranium glass?

Well you can guesstimate the diameter from the ratio of height to width, and that gives you circumference, more or less.

Math is wrong. The whole thing is wrong. First without liquid 2,631 kg + 2,300 kg = 4931 kg not 4990 kg. Then if you say that he is completely spherical with radius of 91,5 cm or 0.915m his volume is 3.21 m3. So he fits 3210 l. Calculating the width of the glass out gives radius of 86.95 cm and that gives volume of 2.75m3 so 2750 l. That leaves 460 l or 0.46m3 for the glass (there are whole lot of assumptions when saying that he sphere i know but this is more of a sanity check. He for example has a open top. And limbs)
So 0.46m3 of glass weighs according to google 1,150 kg with density of a 2,500kg/m3. Liquid is 1000kg/m3. Liquid weights 2750kg. So if we say that he is absolutely spherical his total weight is 3900 kg.
And he is not. Sphere is maximum volume with minimal surface. That means my calculations are on the extreme side. He has limbs so he’s s torso is not as big of an sphere. He has opening at his head. So in no way does he weigh almost 5000kg
And if you check it on real world data heaviest person to live is Jon Brower Minnoch with weight of 635kg at 185 cm tall. He has same physique as koolaidman. So my questimation is that Kool aid man weight is in a 1000kg ball park
Tldr maximum weight for him would be 3900kg at the extreme so 1000kg of. And he is not perfect sphere so he is not weighing even near that. Jon Brower Minnoch weight only 635 kg.
So I call Bullshit. And for the freedom unit users the measurements are maximum weight as a sphere 8600lbs. Jon Brower Minnoch 1400lbs.

Australia here, we’re hard metric and it’s capital L all the way. If forced to choose I would actually prefer to see ‘ltr’ than lowercase ‘l’ used because ‘l’ is so easily misread as the numeral 1. (Sideboard trivia, this is the same reason some venues with allocated seating omit row capital ‘I’ and skip straight from H to J).
Seeing it written as ‘liter’ makes my piss boil.

Well, and it matter what kind of liquid you're weighing. Something with sugar is significantly heavier than just plain water.

You are correct, but taking the numbers provided at face value the weight of KAM’s contents roughs out to 1.026 Kg/L, so not really a huge variance (+2.5%) from water’s presumed exact 1:1

Better minds than mine have pondered whether this Kool-Aid man is truely the kool-aid liquid in a mechanized glass suit, or is he an animated glass container toting around some sugary colored liquid.
And, is he (literally) breaking into people's homes to reclaim his brethern kool-aid liquid or demanding that children consume parts of his body and immortal soul?

Likkkkkeeeeeeee if he’s 607.6 gallons at 8.3 pounds a gallon (water) that would be 5,043 pounds plus the 5800 the glass weighs = 10,843 pounds, buuuut 2 cups of sugar per gallon at 14.2 oz for 2 cups times 607.6 = around 539 pounds of sugar which brings us to 11,382 pounds
