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?

Neutronium... I am having early 2000s trivia website flashbacks! Wasn't a teaspoon of that stuff several tons or something?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

On the order of a billion tons.

I'm not sure if it's a hard weight or just guesstimate to illustrate its heavy, but I always heard that a teaspoon would weigh as much as a city

A quick search just told me that it's been hypothesized that a teaspoon of it would weigh around 10 billion tons on Earth

Damn! How much does that weigh in feathers?

Yep. Or a mountain, something like that.
