Anyone else notice that a large flat rate box has the same limit and the post only counts a small flat rate box?
At what velocity are the box’s dimensions and effective mass determined?
8 5/8" x 5 3/8" x 1 5/8"
Don’t write yourself off yet, learn metric.
For most of the rest of the world, that’s about 219 mm × 137 mm × 41,3 mm
For those of us that don’t use arbitrary made up units at all, that’s 1.35515609E+34 Planck Length x 8.477460474E+33 Planck Length x 2.555613997E+33 Plank Length.
Use real measurements. A meter is how far light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second? Statements made by the utterly deranged.
USPS GOAT. Fuck privatización.
But sometimes I have mildly inconveniencing experiences with the postal service in my extremely rural town that require me to navigate my extremely rural town’s nearly non-existent public services so we should absolutely surrender complete control to Amazon
Apparently neither of you are aware of how dense I am. ;)
But do you fit into that box? 🤔
Nothing one of those fancy new blenders couldn’t handle.
I have mixed feelings about this.
first, ya cut a hole in that box…
I’m pretty sure you’re about to break a lot of postal regulations.
You know…
Looking at the list of restricted items, you can’t mail live animals, or cremated remains. But if you mail only your dick in a box it wouldn’t really be live anymore and isn’t cremated (yet). I suppose it could fall under perishable items though.
It’s because all the packages have the same domestic weight limit.
Seems silly, but makes sense in the context.
Okay so I originally assumed this was probably due to some union rule or something like that. But I didn’t find any reference to it in the NALC guidelines, anything in the USPS resources center (which is hard to use), anything in google searches, and the original employee documentation or spec.
I did find the USPS History section and it turns out they have someone whose job title is “Postal Historian”, Stephen Kochersperger.
But, anyways, I found the address (not email of course haha) for the USPS history office so I have wrote up an letter and put it in the mailbox. I will eventually update yall
Imagine shipping this tiny little box and it weighs 60 pounds. Poor mailman.
Wait until I fill that box with quark-gluon plasma.
I’ll go one better.
A (non-spinning uncharged) black hole with diameter 1+5/8th inches (so it fits in the box) has a mass of about 2.3 earths.(Near as I can tell QGP filling the whole box is around a ten billionth of that.)
Of course the box would Very quickly no longer be outside the black hole. QGP would also cause the box to no longer be a container in short order. To put it mildly.
It would also reach its destination very quickly. Or rather the other way around. Free delivery.
Wouldn’t the box forever be outside the black hole… as in just on the surface as it would need to exceed the speed of light in order to actually enter the event horizon?..or is that our of date knowledge?
You need to supercede the speed of light to exit the singularity, not enter it. Now we would see an image of the box entering the black hole on its “surface” until that faded, but the box itself would still very much enter the event horizon and be destroyed.
Not only does your explanation match my understanding, but your username suggests you know this stuff.
What about a piece of neutron star in those dimensions? Would it still be lighter than 70 lbs?
Good news, after obtaining a piece of neutron star in those dimensions, you wouldn’t need to worry about it anymore.
I’d like an Ai to draw a 4 panel comic of this.
Too lazy do it yourself? Come on.
glorious
thank you kind strAinger
