nnoride replylemm.eeWell, Ukraine is definitely off the Christmas card list now, that much is certain. They'll be lucky to even get a Happy New Year's text at this point.24

ccredo replylemmy.worldA banana is to a mile as a banana peel is to a square mile. A banana peel is 181.48 sq cm or 7.007 × 10^-9^ sq miles, so… (386.1 (sq miles)) / (7.00736808e-9 (sq miles)/(banana peel)) = 5.50991464 × 10^10^ banana peels. So 55 billion, give or take.3
pprettybunnys replysh.itjust.worksInternet tells me a banana is about 200 square centimeters, which confused me so I had to convert that back into measurements I understand. Google says 200 square centimeters is about 1 bananas worth. So anyways ~200 billion bananas if my napkin math checks out.2
EEggyhead lemmings.world3Hide 3 repliesYou mean 1,000 sq kms of East Ukraine? Edit: I need help with my cardinal directions.4
SturgiesYrFase replylemmy.ml2Hide 2 repliesWell, that depends on which end of Ukraine just got a bit bigger. Could be West Ukraine, could be North or East Ukraine too, my world geography is absolutely abysmal, so I wouldn't be able to say for sure.1
EEggyhead replylemmings.world1Hide 1 replyI was thinking East when I wrote west. Something is wrong with my brain.3
SturgiesYrFase replylemmy.mlI also have fingers that don't listen to my brain. The struggle is real! ✊️ Edit: just finally looked at a map....pretty sure West Ukraine would used to have been Poland.....2

And what's Putin gonna do about it? Invade Ukraine?
Well, Ukraine is definitely off the Christmas card list now, that much is certain. They'll be lucky to even get a Happy New Year's text at this point.
Well done!

As is tradition: 386 square miles.
It's 1.05 picoparsec^2
Thank fuck, finally a sane measurement system!
Approximately 1/3 of a Rhode Island
Yeah, but how many bananas?
A banana is to a mile as a banana peel is to a square mile.
A banana peel is 181.48 sq cm or 7.007 × 10^-9^ sq miles, so…
(386.1 (sq miles)) / (7.00736808e-9 (sq miles)/(banana peel)) =
5.50991464 × 10^10^ banana peels.
So 55 billion, give or take.
