This is what the pyramids used to look like. They were covered with polished white limestone and had a peak made of pure gold. (thelemmy.club)

Whoops. 23³ m³

23 cubed cubic metres? Why not just put a few zeroes in the first place?

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 9 points 1 day ago

I guess, because that way it easier conveys the point of ‘it's a cube with 23 meters side’, which makes sense as it's easier to imagine than just an arbitrary amount of cubic meters.

Correct. Cube 23m on each side. I think I meant to write (23m)³ but forgot the parentheses.
