Storm trackers in the Texas Panhandle recovered a massive hail stone that researchers say is likely to be a new state record.
Val and Amy Castor, veteran storm chasers with Oklahoma City television station KWTV, discovered a piece of hail more than 7 inches (17.78 centimeters) long Sunday along the side of the road near Vigo Park while they were chasing a major thunderstorm system.
Val Castor said the stone was about the size of a pineapple.
What fucking two-bit news outlet wrote this story, all talking about pineapples. WE MEASURE IN BANANAS, N00BS
This isn’t reddit. Pineapples are the new bananas!
I would count the scales on a pineapple relative to its size.
no scales on bananas
If you have a laser, scales on bananas can be arranged.
On Lemmy, I believe the community has settled on beans as a unit of measurement
I’d estimate it’s between 3-10 bananas, depending on the size of the bananas.
Anything but metric
It’s especially hacky since that thing looks much closer to the size of a banana than a pineapple anyways!
