    I’m no mathematician, so I passed this request through an AI, and we know how accurate they can be…anyway:

    It estimates that we’d need 3.23 billion bananas 🍌 to fill 2500 hectares of space if anyone wants a bananas for scale.

    The Newer Forest.

    Always makes me laugh that the ‘New’ Forest is getting on for a thousand years old.
