   > asteroid the size of 16 washing machines
   Are we doing science reporting or what? What kind of reporting is this and the unit? Please stick to measuring space objects in meters or kilometers and not this washing machine as a size unit.

     @nixCraft It's understandable because it's probably serving not-so-science-oriented people.

     @nixCraft Isn't this one of the "Americans will do anything to avoid the metric system" memes?

     @nixCraft C'mon. It's the only fun science journalists have these days other than making fun of flat earthers.

     How does 16 washing machines convert into Canadian Geese? That's the only number I'm familiar with.

     @nixCraft but wait!

     Did they mean washing machine SIZE or MASS !?

     If mass, what's the density!!? This is dangerously close to measuring speed in Cats Per Second.

     @nixCraft I feel like they just do this shit so that people will share it while also mocking it thus spreading their reach.
