This reminds me of a similar factoid.

Did you know that if you took the entire Pacific salmon catch and laid it out nose to tail across the Sahara desert…

…the stench would be overpowering!

Did you know that if you took every elephant on earth and stacked them up to the moon, they would all pretty much die?

Did you know that a blue whales carotid artery is so large that a small child could swim through them, but neither the whale nor the child would enjoy that.

[-] ZDL@ttrpg.network 5 points 6 days ago

I genuinely did not know that! 😵

Did you know that if you took a blue whale and laid it lengthwise across a basketball court, the game would be canceled?

[-] suigenerix@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Fun fact. If you took every dodgy, corrupt politician and lined them up end-to-end in space... you should probably just leave them there.

If every human held hands around the equator, it would make a very long line.

[-] vovo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

If 8 billion people hold hands and every person would take up 1.3m, the line would go around the equator 250 times. About 6 billion would drown.

Only if all the billionaires and 1% top polluters are the ones who die

True. Still: how much would the sea level rise?

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Less than the icecaps melting.

No, a line is when there are people waiting in front of you, not when they're beside you holding your hand.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Not if the chain were pulled taut enough.

[-] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

But if you're a link in a ring chain, isn't pulling just tightening it ?

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Well, now both seem right. Can we get a physicist consultation? If you pull a rope bridge from both sides, it raises it. But if low enough, that puts you in the water...?

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

There is a length at which the weight of the rope itself exceeds the force exerted to tighten the rope and not break it. So basically you can have a tight shirter rope, longer saggy rope, or you have 2 ropes.

[-] rsuri@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

In that case people would be dismembered, and then drown.

[-] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Would they though? Surely the people on land could hold the weight.

Maybe not across the Pacific, Atlantic maybe. Just fashion a human suspension bridge.

“I’d like to teach the world to swim,
Oh shit, was that a shark?”

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 5 points 6 days ago

The Coke commercial was the first thing that came to mind even after all these years. I never knew as a kid I was watching a mass murder/suicide.

[-] CheeryLBottom@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

What? Did I miss something?

[-] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

teach the world to swim

Just look at this picture, all the water around the world. It is swimming already, isn't it?

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

True, Captain Obvious
