But does the pizza have pineapples on it?

With such statsian measurements, its hard to tell for the rest of us; are the pizzas big for the US or for normal people?

In America if you order the largest size pizza and it fits through the door horizontally, you're legally permitted to eat the delivery driver.

Can someome PLEASE get a banana down there?

[–] passenger@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

You need specialized hardware - a simple banana would crush under the pressure.

In order to properly measure and preserve the dimensions of the banana, you would need a miniature submarine with a clear glass window.

How they managed to get the pizzas and school bus down there is not explained, however I trust that they did the measurements properly with pizza and school bus submarines.

But most of all, FUCK NY POST

This here.

Yesterday I read a book with lots of drawn (!) illustrations of the largest insects to a 5yo. It doesn't work.

Not possible. Bananas are rich in potassium and potassium explodes upon contact with water.

This is perfect for the Anything but Metric comm!

What's going on in the left photo? Does the squid have bioluminescent danglers at the front?

[–] brianpeiris@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yeah, it's wild they do actually have large "photophores" at the ends of their arms. More info here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taningia_danae

Taningia danae, the Dana octopus squid, is a species of squid in the family Octopoteuthidae, the octopus squids. It is one of the largest known squid species, and it has one of the largest photophores (light organs) known in any organism.

Holy crap, that's terrifying and so cool! Thanks for the info!

Maybe it’s like my cat when I catch her on my security cams in night mode. Fuckin lasers.
