minus-squareLedivin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·4 months ago So do you take a 1500 kg weight (about the weight of a Toyota Camry) and raise it about 7.3 meters (about 2 stories in a typical residential home)? Honestly that is way, way more reasonable than I was expecting. This isn’t half as bad of an idea as I thought it would be

minus-squareexasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 months agoSorry whoops I was off by a factor of 1000 because I used grams instead of kilograms. The Camry needs to be raised 7.3 km. Or you need 1000 of them in one house.
