minus-squareJohanno@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up7·6 days agoWhile this is probably the reason they do this, I hate that they don’t mention the correct number before giving a “relatable” example. I know what 355 cm^3 is roughly. And I know how much sth. Weighs in kg. I don’t know how heavy a elephant baby is. Wtf?
minus-squareschema@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·6 days agoYes. And “baby elephant” is also a vague term to begin with. I imagine a 1 week old elefant weighs a lot less than a 20 week old one. How long is an elephant considered a baby? I have no idea.
