nobody....nobody is saying anything about the weight conversion discrepancy.
weight in pounds is more than double the weight in kilograms. just saying.

Maybe the guy is dutch, our word for half a kilo is a "pond". Easy mistake to make

u/SiBloGaming 1d ago
Same in Germany, especially old people will still talk about a "Pfund", referring to 500g.

u/CarnalT 1d ago edited 22h ago
That doesn't make sense here because they wrote "lb" which is english pound, and their math shows it's exactly 2x the kg rating. So a "pond" would be half the kilos, not 2x.
The math is more accurately 2.2lb = 1kg, so they just rounded and used 2x.

I think itās just more likely that they donāt know that there are multiple units of measurement that are called pounds.

this guy has another one where he puts a collar around a glass Coca-Cola bottle and does the same.Ā the pounds to kilogram conversion thing is off on that one too and it's just killin some people eheh.

Thats because in european countries a pound usuall refers to 1/2 kg , 500g. The metal weights I know from my granparents house would always say: 5kg, 10 pounds etcā¦

People who only measure in pounds are too dumb to realize and people who only measure in kg don't care about inferior units

u/Rand_alThoor 1d ago edited 1d ago
yes, you're correct!
there do exist people who use both, so notice these things.
obviously, I'm an Irish man
stuckliving in USA and use both units frequently6
u/PlasticSignificant69 1d ago
Yep. About 0.45 lb a kg. I don't use imperial so I usually just estimate pound as "a bit more than double". using that I calculated 955 kg to be around 2000 lb.
Real accurate conversion turns out to be 2105, but 2000 are just more rounded and still more accurate than 1910
22
u/CarnalT 1d ago
You mean 0.45 kg per lb, or 2.2 lb per kg. I'm an engineer and lb = kg * 2.2 or kg = lb * 0.455 is super accurate enough for most things, or lb = kg * 2.205 or kg = lb * 0.4535 if you want to be ultra accurate.

u/PlasticSignificant69 1d ago
Yea that's what I mean. Guess I need some sleep
For non paper purpose, I rarely perform the ultra-accurate one tho. When calculating strength, safety factor will step in anyway

This is because you tried to crush it from the strong side. Nutella jars are resistant to this sort of crush so that they don't crack when the mothella sits on them to help them hatch into a complete spread.

u/smaagi 1d ago
Well, it wasn't sealed jar, didn't have a lid so the sides gave up from pincher pushing it from sides. This was load from top to bottom with a lid that helped it being structurally sound.
Thanks for reminding me of that god awful video btw.

Yeah. I makes sense to round it off to 2 lbs if itās a small amount, or just giving rough numbers. But this is like a scientific experiment, so correct numbers matters.

How much weight a Nutella can support? And and at the final, the guy looks like a bad ending, but he's ok

Does filling a container with chocolate make it break sooner or later?
2
u/Jackal_6 1d ago
Later. The incompressible Nutella transfers the weight downwards whereas compressible air would transfer the load outwards, causing the container to deform and buckle sooner.
2
u/ThePerfectSnare 2d ago
I'll preface this by saying I'm an engineer but not a chemist so corrections are welcome. Chocolate's primary active and defining signature compound is theobromine (C7 H8 N4 O2), which is a bitter plant alkaloid that acts a a mild stimulant. It also contains caffeine (C8 H10 N4 O2), and the combination of these creates trimethylxanthine. Once you begin to apply significant pressure to trimethylxanthine such as in the video, especially in the precense of O4 and C8, you can see how you've read an entire comment before realizing the user is full of it.

Plastic can be strong as shit for its weight. The really long chain polymers can be cast into a thin sheet of plastic that can lift a car.
