I’m guessing someone started with the banana metric and thought, “Now, bigger.”
Assume a spherical giraffe.
On a frictionless plane?
With no air resistance.
It’s usually not the scientists that write shitty headlines like this 🫤
What do you mean. The Daily Mail Online is known to be one of the most rigorous publications!
In my mind half a giraffe is just a horse. Just say it is the size of a horse.
Halving always produces equal proportions
Only when halved along a line of symmetry.
A body cut in half at the waist, leaves you with two very different halves despite being the same length/height.
Cut in half along the spine though and you could have two equal, yet mirrored, halves.
With a long neck like a giraffe, half way down the length between the head+tail, one of those ‘halves’ is going to be much heavier/bulkier.
americans will use anything but metric
Daily Mail is UK
Who do you think came up with the ridiculous units to begin with
How many bananas are we talking about here?
Enough to fit on a quarter of a small football pitch.
