Whew.. 😥 💦
That was close. I thought this was going to be about some kind of Eifel tower reference found in the documents.
Ew french architecture. How about real American units? What's that in statues of liberty?
Are they talking about Height, Weight, volume? A bit hard to work out volume, but I can give you Height and weight to start with.
I realised I'd originally used metric metres and tonnes, so I've redone the calculation using Real American measurements:
Eiffel Tower
Height: 162 Hulk Hogans
Weight: Approx 72,993 Hulk Hogans
Two Eiffel Towers
Height: 324 Hulk Hogans
Weight: Approx 145,986 Hulk Hogans
Statue of Liberty
Height: 46.5 Hulk Hogans
Weight: Approx 1,460 Hulk Hogans
Rounded to the nearest 0.5 Hogans.
Based on the above, we can work out that there's:
Approx 7 Statues of Liberty (by height)
Approx 100 Statues of Liberty (by weight)

Your wish has been granted.
This is a great honour. Thank you :)
Are you using Hogan's last weight before being cremated? Or do you know the weight of his ashes?
The one off his wiki page, which I imagine was his wrestling weight. You make a good point though - I imagine his height was also somewhat reduced in ash form.
Well, in the US we have regular ounces and Florida ounces, so whatever the worst option is, use that one.
I love you.
Ahh, easy visualizable examples
My greatest weakness
I think that unless you've seen the Eiffel tower with your own eyes, it might be quite difficult to visualize how big it is.
Everyone in America knows the Eiffel Tower is approximately 1 kilofeet tall (edit: I tried to make an additional joke here but imperial was too confusing)
One could also measure the Eiffel Tower in terms of Epstein file dumps. The Eiffel Tower is 0.5 Epstein dumps tall.
I do believe the correct unit is a metric fuckton.
Americans will use anything but metric
The Rules:
Posts must be a screenshot, crosspost, or link to someone using a bizarre unit of measurement (33 lanes wide, as heavy as 10 semi-trucks, etc.)
Standard units are not allowed, unless it's a sufficiently bizarre usage of the unit (this is up to mod discretion.)
Intentionally terrible units are completely fine! Satire is welcome here
Curses are fine, slurs are not. If there are slurs in something you want to post, please blur them, or reconsider posting.
Flag NSFW content as such. NSFW words in these posts don't need to be censored.
Post titles should be just the unit of measurement used (not the thing being measured!), and should be the full name of the unit (Apples and Bags of Apples imply very different things!) NSFW units should be partially censored. If there are multiple units, list as many as you want. If the source is satire, the title should start with [Satire]
In the comments be civil, both to each other AND the subject of posts.
