I like how they started to make a grid then just went “fuck it” lol
If you think that’s bad, wait until they try to fit 17!
Isn’t the garbage island like the size of at least three Polands these days? At some point it’s going to accumulate enough organic debris to develop its own topsoil and eventually ecosystem.
It’s not really an island though. There’s just more garbage there than elsewhere.
Despite the common public perception of the patch existing as giant islands of floating garbage, its low density (4 particles per cubic metre (3.1/yd3)) prevents detection by satellite imagery, or even by casual boaters or divers in the area.
I was being hyperbolic and facetious.
We haven’t found the upper limit yet, but with more research funding we can get closer
Scientific funding in a nutshell. Fuck me.
Only if you behave yourself.
Where did you find the other 15?
That’s a lot of kielbasa!
Even a multicolor assortment of 16 Polands!
Technically correct.
There’s an old mexican comedy show where the teacher asks a student how many centimeters are in a meter - she answers something like “29. And there’s even room for more!”
El Chavo? Sounds like something the Chilindrina would say.
You get a multi buy discount if you purchase 16 Poland’s in one transaction
Ah yes, the optimal packing of 16 Polands
I suspect with some work we could even fit Poland 17 in there…
Wow, the Pacific Ocean must be really wide, like, that’s gotta be longer than 2 football fields placed end to end.
Two? Double that number, then double it again…
Be careful with exponentials!
Do not double it more than 17 times or it will not fit.
I thought you making a joke about the number in the post being an arbitrary 16 until I did the math
can’t fold it more than 7 times either
So Six Football fields?
Probably maybe!
Or Seven even…
Americans will use anything but metric
You see, Texas wouldn’t fit even once, because it’s twice the size of the earth. Europeans will never understand that.
That’s measuring with what, how many football fields? You’d still have to convert to American anyway.
Thank you

And this is why poland should be the standard unit of measurement.
I like to bake and I use mostly weights for measuring. When I explain to people how it’s easier and faster, I will finish as a joke that I weigh in stones. Those that know how bad a unit of measure stones would be for baking laugh. I dont think it would work as well using “polands”.
