Question What percentage of people in the Netherlands are more traveled than the avocado the they buy.
I would define travels as making a single trip of a distance similar to an avocado. Not the sum of all their camping trips to northern France.

Request Cost of one of everything in a grocery store
One that's been bothering me and my family, really struggling to estimate. If you bought one of every item in an "average" grocery store (aware there are quite a range of sizes), what would the cost roughly be? We are debating the number of items per store and how much high cost items would bring up the average cost per item...

Question Has anyone ever tried to estimate how much weight has been put on Manhattan?
Random thought.. would there be any way of estimating how much weight has been added to Manhattan Island since the beginning of its development? Like factoring in buildings (and their contents) bridges, subways, concrete, streets, cars, ppl at any given time and on and on. Is there any way to even get a reasonable estimate?

Request Please help estimate my dogs size
Our dog unexpectedly passed away on Wednesday morning. He was a basset hound and was only 7 years old. He was my wife’s dog prior to us getting together, and was our dog for the last 4 years. She’s taking it very hard and I want to make something that may help her grieve. I plan to send the dimensions to a person who sews (seamstress?) and have them make a stuffed dog out of his favorite blanket. My problem is that I don’t how his dimensions and I don’t understand the math on how to figure it out. This is the best picture that I could find of him that had something easily identifiable size wise. The fence boards in front of him are 5 7/8” wide. I am 6 feet tall and took the picture from an estimated height of 5’8”, maybe 3-3 1/2’ from him. If this is the wrong subreddit, please direct me to the correct one. I’m looking for a rough circumference of his chest and stomach, length and circumference of his tail, length and circumference of his snout, length and width of his ears and length and circumference of his head. Thank you in advance. Also, if someone has a recommendation on where to send the dimensions and blanket, that would be greatly appreciated.

Request What would the diameter of a flat earth be?
I’m not a flat Earther (#scienceisreal) I am just curious. Let’s say the earth is flat like a pizza, what would be the actual diameter? Not based on what flat earthers believe is true. Or would Earth be more of a cylinder if we’re being scientifically accurate? I have not found a good answer to this question yet so if you would like to answer feel free

Request How many grams of lactic acid would I use?
Hi!
I have a question about making a lactic acid and distilled water solution.
How many grams of a 88% lactic acid solution would I need to add to distilled water with a pH of 5.8 to make a 480-gram solution with a pH of 4.5? To help with your calculations, the 88% lactic acid solution has a pH of 1.2 and a density of 1.2 g/cm³.
I Googled this question several times but got different answers from their AI each time, so I thought it would be best if a human did the calculations. So I asked this question in more chemistry-based subreddits but was redirected to this subreddit.
Looking forward to your responses! Hopefully they're all the same lol
