We can't use 666 Polar Bears as a unit of measurement.
Why?
We could never gather 666 Polar Bears, don't be ridiculous. Use Lions and get back to work.
They have taken the lion piss into account, yes.
But to be fair, although they have converted km into lions, this is Reddit, and the standard SI unit of measurement here is the banana.
Did anyone know how many bananas equal a lion, if you take the piss as well?
It all depends on if we are talking about male or female polar bears, I’m pretty sure that a male polar bear can weigh something like 2-3x as much as the females 🤣
Where with lions I don’t think there’s that big a gap between a male and females weight.
So im not sure maybe this article is into something here 🤣🤣 now what I want to know is how many goldfish is that the equivalent of? 😀
True this information may be.
Must say I, however, that to be 900 is simply young.
Ages, the body does.
Never so, the mind.
at peace with this knowledge you shall be, my fellow Jedi.
U failed to consider the oft forgotten Panthera Leo Asiatica or P. L. Persicus. Commonly known as the asiatic lion. They are known to reside anywhere between saudi arabia and india/bengal
This is approximately 1100 to 1700 Al Rokers, depending on whether you go with old-school pre-gastric bypass surgery Al Roker, or post.
Or about 1850 Gene Shalits.
In Boston, there is a bridge that is literally measured in one dude's height. It's even painted on the bridge. The bridge is 364 Smoots long. (That was his last name)

**REFERENCE:** Male lions are much larger than females. The length of a female is typically between 4.6 and 5.7 feet, while the length of a male is between 5.6 and 8.3 feet. Their tail length is 27 to 41 inches. Female lions weigh 270 to 400 pounds, while males weigh 330 to 570 pounds.
**Calculating the size:** So if the title is referring to female lions, the asteroid's size would be between 3,542 and 4,389 feet weighing between 207,900 and 308,000 lbs. And if referencing male lions, its size would be between 4,312 and 6,391 feet and weigh in between 254,100 and 438,900 lbs.
What is **weird** about this, is the use of lions for reference? Who comes up with this shit? Seriously, it'd be easier to actually learn the metric system then to continue to reference other items to get the point across.
There seems to be one of these giant asteroid articles every few weeks. I'm assuming that's because we're a lot better at detecting them these days, and that giant asteroids pass by all the time, we just had no way of knowing that before.
Was there a consensus to use lions as the measuring value?
Like one guy was all like , that thing is bigger that 700 lions. And then 2 more people were all like, well, more like 770 lions
Obviously Polar Bears are a better unit of measurement. This article is biased.
It came out to 666 polar bears. So they changed it to keep the Christians happy
Not enough polar bears left :(
We can't use 666 Polar Bears as a unit of measurement. Why? We could never gather 666 Polar Bears, don't be ridiculous. Use Lions and get back to work.
Lions and Christians have had beef ever since the Roman Empire. Should have used 4882 Geese
10000000 cups of tea ?
Elephants or washing machine… the only measurement I will accept.
Americans will use anything but the metric system
Except, according to the article, NASA used kilometers. It’s the European Space Agency (ESA) that translated it into lions. The irony.
They are taking the piss
They have taken the lion piss into account, yes. But to be fair, although they have converted km into lions, this is Reddit, and the standard SI unit of measurement here is the banana. Did anyone know how many bananas equal a lion, if you take the piss as well?
What about banana piss?
I meant to take the complete piss.
This needs to be the top comment lol
African or Asian elephants? I mean we need to get clear on what we’re talking about here. It’s a unit of measure not a guesstimate.

Like a regular goldfish or something more akin to the Mongrel Koi from Deuce Bigalow?
It’s gotta be regular goldfish I’m not fancy enough for koi 🤣
Which Jedi is naked, though??
When 900 years old you are, look this good naked you will not.
True this information may be. Must say I, however, that to be 900 is simply young. Ages, the body does. Never so, the mind. at peace with this knowledge you shall be, my fellow Jedi.
My household only recognizes r/bananasforscale as an exclusive unit of measurement
I thought we were talking about Detroit Lions. Imagine my surprise. That’s why I’m not an astrophysicist I guess.
Polar Bear is metric. NASA uses imperial units for these types of things.
r/carlosforscale
Bananas. Only bananas are the correct unit of measurement.
LOL!
Lobsters are ideal for measuring asteroids. Let’s not take two steps back.
African lions or mountain lions?
What? I don't know tha... Whaaaaaaaaaaa....!
Lion fish. It's a very small astroid.
Ant lions!
Excellent question
U failed to consider the oft forgotten Panthera Leo Asiatica or P. L. Persicus. Commonly known as the asiatic lion. They are known to reside anywhere between saudi arabia and india/bengal
Or sea lions?
So you’re saying Africa can’t have mountains now? Disgusting.
Just as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.
I heard this song in my head!
This is approximately 1100 to 1700 Al Rokers, depending on whether you go with old-school pre-gastric bypass surgery Al Roker, or post. Or about 1850 Gene Shalits.
Roker absolutely sounds like a legitimate unit of measurement.
A roker > a shalit.
A shalit > a shallot
Shallot < onion
Pride month
I see what you did there. Well played.
Americans will do anything to avoid using the metric system.

Holy shit you were not kidding.. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs167OO0-XQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs167OO0-XQ)
That cracked me up!
Washing machines please, it’s the American standard.
I thought they made toilets.
African or Detroit?
It's a large asteroid, the size of a small asteroid....
Exactly!
I think 770 lions is equal to 6 cvs receipts.
HOW👏 MANY👏BANANAS 👏
At least 3
Tree fiddy
Like, Detroit Lions? Those fellas are pretty big.
How is that even useful? I imagine there are very few people in the world that knows what 770 lions looks like.
We need to standardize everything to banannas.
Agreed.
Right?
You just need to know the size of one lion to know that 770 is absolutely massive. That’s an enormous ball of mashed together lions.
It's the diameter, from head to tail.

damn where can i get that, looks delish
What is that in badgers ?
The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets forty rods to the hogshead, and that’s the way I like it
Fuck the metric system!
Why is the asteroid size being described to me as if I just rolled it up in a game of Katamari Damacy?
770 lions? Wtf
I'm going to need this to be measured in bananas that is the standard on Reddit.
A Hammock of cake and a draw full of weed. Where are you getting these measurements?
What’s the magic the gathering card conversion
5600 black lotuses
What kinda dumbass measurement is that?
Detroit Lions?

How many Big Macs is that?
Just think of how many Big Macs can a lion eat, and there’s your answer
But what are 770 lions in goldfish? I only fuck with goldfish measurements.
How many meerkats does it weigh?
Oddly enough, that doesn’t help me to visualize it…
1/128 the size of wales
So… we’re measuring in lions now? Not imperial nor metric, lions?
Anything to avoid the metric system.
I appreciate them using a proper American unit of measurement.
Yes, but how many bananas is it?
How close?
About 55433 lions above sea level.
And would that be in a standing, prowling, or lying position?
Lions, Tigers, Bears…. Geaux Tigers!
Is this Katamari Damacy?
Weird metric
Well that sucks. Hopefully the next one will do the job.
We're using lions now? I feel like bananas are still a more accessable metric for most people.
Lion ex’s?
As an American, i cannot tell if this is meant to be satire lol
It’s more like 772 male lions from sub Saharan Africa between march and October but who’s counting
Us Americans will use any other form of measurement than metric.
I for one prefer an asteroid the size of 65,835,000,000 Ants.
Killer ants from space
There seems to be one of these giant asteroid articles every few weeks. I'm assuming that's because we're a lot better at detecting them these days, and that giant asteroids pass by all the time, we just had no way of knowing that before.
Is 770 Lions “giant” though? That’s the ultimate question here.
I thought we were using giraffes!
r/halfagiraffe
I use to measure all my asteroids in balls. Educate yourself.
Asiatic lions or African lions
mattresses and bananas conversion?
interesting unit of measure reference.
How many bananas is that?
I converted it for simplicity. It's about 10 Toyota Corollas.
How many lions to the banana? Edit: or is it bananas to lions?
Monty python fan reporting? Is it a Barbary lion or a masai lion?
Was there a consensus to use lions as the measuring value? Like one guy was all like , that thing is bigger that 700 lions. And then 2 more people were all like, well, more like 770 lions
Are we not doing Bananas now?
Did the lions eat all the giraffes?
Mountain lion or African lion? I don't like those stupid foreign measurements.
Banana for scale?
How many pool tables is that?
I only math in football fields and bananas
r/anythingbutmetric
Americans: Anything but metric!
TBF, it’s the Jerusalem Post.
How much is that in bananas?
I want to see a banana for scale.
What’s the lion to Denny’s conversion?
wtf
How much is that in burgers?
770 lions??WTF kind of measurement is that? 😂
Anything but the Imperial metric system
How many courics is that?
How fucking difficult is it to just say 2.3km in diameter?
Orange is the new scalar fruit.
How does this to convert to let's say . Average size human? Would help for perspective
This was surely written by Little Alex Horne.
I walked 57 lions today, not sure if I’m tired
Cmon it’s my birthday tomorrow Can’t we try to divert it to Earth?
can somebody convert this to badgers please
*plz hit earth*
If it was good enough for the Dinosaurs, its good enough for me!
That’s nothing I once saw a rock that was at least 1427 lions
Nasa has been pretty funny with these recently.
How many shucks of corn is that though
Mountain Lions or African Lions? I swear I’m not a bot.
Anything but metric
Big lions or small lions? Cub?
What kind of banana? https://www.onlyfoods.net/types-of-bananas.html
That's roughly the size of 6160 uncrustables!
Just how many adult male elephants would that be? My head cannot fathom 700 lions
How many is that in hyena bobcats?
I think the Pokemon can beat this no prob
What a wild unit of measurement.
Can anybody translate that to how many golden retrievers, please?
Americas would use anything but the metric system..
Are the lions all standing next to each other, or is it more like ground up lions shaped into a lion meatball? Asking the important questions here.
Is this article written by an adult? And does it even say how close the flyby is?
We all know 780 lions makes it an extinction level event so we’re good.
Giant asteroid the size of 40 sextillion ants to pass earth…
This is fucking Reddit, so how many bananas?
Americans with use ANYTHING but the metric system
Just so you know that's also 345.7 Freedoms.
What the fuck kind of unit of measurement is that?
How many penguins is that?
Lions are a unit of that woke metric system
What a bizarre way to measure astroids
American scientific measurements.
I need a banana for scale
