Assuming The Average Avocado Is About 7 Ounces, Melly Should Weigh ~1.39 Kg. This Seems A Little Low,

assuming the average avocado is about 7 ounces, Melly should weigh ~1.39 kg. This seems a little low, so i’m inclined to assume a larger (12oz) avocado, in which case Melly should be ~2.4kg. If she’s heavier than that, I’m afraid your friend has vastly overestimated the weight of an average avocado, an easy mistake to make for the uninitiated.

For real though, I think at least part of the reason that people like to put unfounded faith in academics and professionals is because it’s reassuring to think that even if we don’t personally know the solution to our problems, someone out there is trained and certified to deal with with it. This is uuusually true, but less likely to be on the scale of people we personally know, and sometimes (like we saw during the pandemic) there just isn’t the research ANYWHERE yet and the most qualified people either have to lie about how confident they are or risk seriously freaking people out. It sounds like kind of a terrible choice to have to make.

being an adult means I can use my big boy money (which is supposed to go towards stupid things like rent or food but who the hell does that) to force people to look at Melly.

look at her. she’s simply so Shaped
