uh it should be in kgs sorry, I was just bewildered how I managed to fuck up an equation with it literally being in front of me (cus I googled it). The number comes up to a little less than 2 protons… which means (according to my food poisoned brain’s calculation) that if there were 2 protons in a sphere with a radius of 15 cm, it would collapse into a black hole.

So you’re saying that 2 protons closer than 15 cm would collapse into a black hole? That’s got me pretty worried, because I have a lot more than 2 protons within that proximity in my body, by at least an order of magnitude or so

yeah sorry, its all blackholes now

Well anyway, that’s wrong too. Density makes a black hole, not just weight. And you’re on the wrong extreme of density.
Dave2@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 day ago
is density not just weight divided by volume? I had a set volume (assumed the cat was a sphere with a radius of 15 cm), where am I wrong…
And yes the calculation is wrong, that was the point, I WAS TRYING TO BE FUNNY.

I know this is only for fun, but what you have to do is: fix cat weight and calculate cat radius (instead of fixing cat radius and calculating cat weight). 🙂
