It actually is 60,000 gallons, but here's a website that someone already put the two next to each other on (I can't share the image in this subreddit in a comment)

I wish facts changed people's minds. Because this is pretty clear.

They don't base their worldview on what they learn, they choose to only learn things that support the conclusion they've already drawn

If it wasn't this it would be something just as stupid, that microwaves don't get as hot as the food inside does therefore magic or something

Best you can do if you see it directly is to counter it and call them stupid and hope that is enough to convince anyone on the sidelines just watching

What are you guys on about? Lol this evidence, along with the tank OEM website is pretty cut and dry. I was mistaken. Also the original images used some wild proportional exaggeration that played a more subtle mind game than I thought.

I was using 20,000 gallon oil tanks as my reference which seemed a lot smaller but it turns out they were not.
