The Moon is 384,400 km away from Earth. If you took every elephant on Earth and stacked them one atop another most of them would die.

[–] tuxiqae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 hours ago

Aould you say that all of them will? Some from lack of air and some from the weight of a gazillion other elephants on top of them

Did you know that if you took a blue whale, the largest mammal on earth, and laid it end to end, tail to mouth, on a basketball court, the game would be cancelled?

The moon causes tides, but mooning does not involve tiddies

Every sixty seconds in Africa, a minute passes

It's hard to imagine any of them would live. I guess one near the top might survive by using the flood of elephant pieces to slow their fall. But an elephant can't survive a ~10 foot fall. That's about 2 elephants tall, and the bottom two or the ones I am most confident are dying in this.

There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in the entire solar system

You would guess this is useless info, but I can use this fun fact to remember how many suns the earth has also.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say all of them would die for one reason or another.

Also, my first experience with the internet back in 1994 was a page of elephant jokes, I feel I’ve come full circle now.

Why full circle, though? Is this your last experience with the internet? RIP aeronmelon's internet experience, 1994-2026

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Let’s be honest, it’s been downhill since the Elephant Jokes website.

If you took a horse's large intestine and stretched it out end-to-end, the horse would not survive.

If you laid every road on earth end-to-end a lot of people would be annoyed with you

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

If every human held hand in a straight line around the earth a lot of them would drown

The last people on land just have to be a wee bit stronger to keep the tension, then it works out fine.

I have one related, the diameter of the moon is smaller than Australia.

Thankyou! I've seen that before, but lost the link. It's mind-boggling.
