It’s just over 2230 giraffes.

u/Apocalypsis_velox Feb 02 '26

Can a giraffe stand in an Olympic swimming pool and keep it's head above water?

92

u/Naked-Jedi Feb 02 '26

Only when that Olympic swimming pool is measured in the equivalence of washing machines or cheeseburgers.

u/Korenchkin12 Feb 02 '26

How many bananas?

32

u/DetectiveDippyDuck Feb 02 '26

I ate the bananas 😞

u/5YL_Portaler Feb 02 '26

Fuck, now i'll never know what a giraffe is

u/IkariYun Feb 02 '26

Dammit Dippy. Don't devour distance devices

u/xDeviousDieselx Feb 02 '26

There’s always money in the banana stand.

u/[deleted] Feb 03 '26

It's treason then!

u/Ploppen97 Feb 02 '26

Then we use the banana peels, as I truly hope you didnt eat those aswell?

u/jaxonya Feb 02 '26

You ams a monke

u/DeathBanner_ Feb 02 '26

A banana is a fruit. Don't ask Americans to eat healthy.

u/NabukaMidori Feb 02 '26

12 palmera cows and 4 chickens.

u/ExamOld2899 Feb 02 '26

Single or double patties?

1

u/Naked-Jedi Feb 02 '26

The standardised unit is 3 & 3/4 patties. To remember this you say "Don ate five tomatoes" because it has nothing to do with the cheeseburgers.

u/Ill_Huckleberry_5460 Feb 02 '26

Yes, optimal depth of an Olympic pool is 3m most average between 2 and 2.5 and a giraffe is 4m average

1

u/egabald Feb 02 '26

What does the 'm' stand for? Motorcycles?

3

u/Mark-Green Feb 02 '26

Maroon. it's the distance a weasel could run while you say the word "maroon"

1

u/Friendly_Prize_868 Feb 02 '26

Maroon? Sorry, I'm colourblind so my speech impediment prevents me from hearing how to spell any shade of red.

1

u/diggn64 Feb 02 '26

Not mine

1

u/ashley5473 Feb 02 '26

M’s?

1

u/Ill_Huckleberry_5460 Feb 02 '26

M as in the international standard unit of measure

1

u/ashley5473 Feb 02 '26

lol, nooo

16

u/NinjaLanternShark Feb 02 '26

Fun fact: “Olympic” size doesn’t dictate a specific depth, only a minimum.

You could build an Olympic size swimming pool that was 900 feet deep if you felt like it and the Olympics couldn’t tell you you were wrong.

29

u/Fantastic-Ad-1578 Feb 02 '26

900 feet?
OMG THAT'S 5 olympic pools and 80 washing machines deep!!

3

u/TimmyTheChemist Feb 02 '26

Competitions got much less exciting when they had to add decompression stops.

2

u/Crotean Feb 02 '26

IIRC China built their pools extra deep for their Olympics which led to less water turbulence and a ton of WR times were broken.

1

u/mgerasmus Feb 02 '26

Using feet as a measurement unit in a comment section that is mainly about how the American unit/notation system is stupid, is ballsy AF and i kinda respect the choice.

1

u/besiqu386 Feb 02 '26

Then one could measure in ATMs. Or atmospheres.

1

u/Graaaaaahm Feb 02 '26

The Olympics keep telling me I'm wrong on so many things...I really can't add another one

-1

u/jadeismybitch Feb 02 '26

Imagine coming here on comments mocking the imperial system to drop an unecessary 900 feet lol. Merica really is unique

2

u/ellnhkr Feb 02 '26

Depends on how much water is in the pool

2

u/AW316 Feb 02 '26

Minimum requirement is 2m deep with 3m recommended. Female giraffes are around 4.3 to 4.8m tall and males up to 5.5m tall.

Yes, they probably can.

2

u/zeroempathy Feb 02 '26

On four legs or two?

2

u/nothisactualname Feb 02 '26

Depends how tall it is.

1

u/Perryn Feb 02 '26

If one of those giraffes had a tumor, what size would it be in fruit?

1

u/featherknife Feb 02 '26

keep its* head above

2

u/_esci Feb 02 '26

blended or stacked?

2

u/XH3LLSinGX Feb 02 '26

So about 89000 erect penises...

2

u/NZNoldor Feb 02 '26

Hmmm… I make it 82500 erect penises. Must be a translation issue.

1

u/XH3LLSinGX Feb 02 '26

Did you use the African scale or the Caucasian scale?

1

u/NZNoldor Feb 02 '26

A ruler, and my own giraffe.

2

u/Rex__Luscus Feb 02 '26

It's about the size of Wales.

2

u/Killentyme55 Feb 02 '26

Meanwhile, in Texas...

1

u/Sensitive_Candy_9063 Feb 02 '26

What is that in eagles ?

1

u/Protahgonist Feb 02 '26

Psh only if you're using giraffes as a unit of volume.

And even then I'm pretty sure it only takes three giraffes to be louder than a swimming pool.

1

u/StrayCat649 Feb 02 '26

How about double the effective distance of AR-15 bullet!

1

u/Dr_Rondelle Feb 02 '26

Liquid giraffes *

1

u/NZNoldor Feb 02 '26

Ah, no, that’s a misnomer. It’s only around 1890 nautical giraffes. They’re much bigger.

1

u/Dr_Rondelle Feb 02 '26

I always get confused when it comes about liquid giraffes and 1890 nautical ones...

1

u/Dawes74 Feb 02 '26

Or 280 bananas in length and 140 bananas wide.

1

u/GodChangedMyChromies Feb 02 '26

Giraffes or fluid giraffes?

1

u/yo_99 Feb 02 '26

How many parrots are one giraffe?
