Law enforcement officials came across a staggering find after being tipped off about possible drug-dealing: dozens of dog-food-size bags of psychedelic mushrooms worth an estimated $8.5 million at a home in rural Connecticut.
Dog-food-size bags? That’s almost as much as 20 salamanders!
I feel like this isn’t something about not using metric measurements but rather something to help visualisation. I’m all for using metric but it’s still nice to have something to attach to the number. Especially for bigger numbers.
Even in countries/places that use metric, i’ve seen comparisons like this like (x meters = 1 footbal stadium) and so on.
It’s actually a lie. The dog food sized bags comment.
The dry mushrooms are in large ziplock bags. The bags they’re growing in hold five pounds of substrate and water.
I grow edible mushrooms in those same bags. They’re not anywhere close to dog food bags.
Phew, I feel much safer now. So glad my taxes are paying for this kinda really really fucking important law enforcement activity.
Deputy Tulley of the Sheriff’s Dept. told reporters on Friday evening, “This is one of the biggest shroomraidswe experienceontheplanet inharmonywiththesunandthemoon likethe chinacatsunflower.”
Great, thx, for a sec I thought the thumbnail was about domestic geese with military training and discipline standing in attention.
