i just did the math and that's something around ~~100,000kg/m^3^ to 200,000kg/m^3^~~ 400,000kg/m^3^ to 860,000kg/m^3^. The densest terrestrial material i could find was Osmium @ 22,610kg/m^3^. The surface of a neutron star is estimated at 1 billion kg/m3. Our star's core density is estimated to be 150,000kg/m^3^. The core of a brown dwarf can be between 10,000kg/m^3^ and 1,000,000kg/m^3^ So, uh.

edit: forgot there were four elephants

I didn't do the math and realized that was ridiculous density.

It's just an extra-large corgi, and some extra-light elephants.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

so what like a keeshond or a swedish vallhund? and instead of elephants, rhinocerodes?

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

From the research other people put on the comments here, I'd say it's a corgi at about the size of a rottweiler and elephants at around the weight of a human (slightly on the fat side).

ah so a larger than corgi dog and one average statesian. i feel like we need to make an official submission to the bureau of weights and measures

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Lol, the US actually publishes average weights in a easy to search format.

Looks like the average USian man weights 90kg, and those elephants were supposed to have 110kg. So, sorry for cheating, but those people need to be more on the fat side than an average USian.

yeah but the average statesian watched too much dragon ball and runs around with 20kg in weighted clothing in case they have to fight a flute.
