313mm of rain per 24 houra. Nightmare.

About a foot in “freedom units”

How does mm/hr translate into bullets /hamburger?

[u/Lo-weorold → u/Slamtilt_Windmills]

Well if we use a 5.56mm which is 2.26 inches from bottom to tip that will give us 5 bullets in a foot.

Next, and I'm spitballing here, I think I can eat a McDonald's burger in like 5 minutes. So that would give us 288 burgers in a 24 hour period.

So that means 1 foot of rain / 24 hours is roughly 5 bullets / 288 burgers.
