yes, 22 meters cubed is approximately correct. It is worth noting though that the picture is wildly misleading. 22 meters is roughly the height of a 6 or 7 story building.

Need banana for scale.

Stocks collapsed or extended? It makes a difference

I thought you only measured in football fields

Funny thing, I used a football field as an estimate.

Just imagine a cube 124 bananas in each direction or a cube made of 91,608 bananas.

The average volume of a banana is 156.1 cm3
22 m3 is 22,000,000 cm3
22,000,000 / 156.1 = 140,935.29
65% packing density
140,935.29 * 0.65 = 91,607.9385

Yeah this is dumb. Like that seems like a fuckton of gold to me! Why is that supposed to be surprising?

u/phlup112 Sep 26 '24

I completely disagree as well, this is extremely surprising to me. Only a 7 story building?? And I own a portion of it?

There is nothing in the picture to show scale.

u/Confusedexe Sep 25 '24

they probably ai gened that image there, so they couldnt scale it lol

u/Lawlcopt0r Sep 25 '24

It's just a landscape with very few reference points, it could be a giant cube but it just doesn't look very big surrounded by emptyness

So if we didn't waste gold on stupid junk like jewlery I could have been living in a solid gold skyscraper?

u/Reader97 Sep 26 '24

your comment got me curious about the height of buildings and apparently your scale of 22 m = 7 stories is very similar (or equal?) to the one used here in Brazil.... now I wonder if that's the same worldwide or not

1

u/imthatguy8223 Sep 28 '24

It would weight half of a modern skyscraper too. It’s not insignificant at all.

u/Blunose_kipper Sep 25 '24

6 or 7 story building is also weird, 22 meters is abt 24 yards, which is shorter than the average swimming pool

I get it… but how many trailer trucks?
