SortStack #63 — 2026-08-11

By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A single kernel of corn 300 mg

   Each kernel is botanically a complete fruit, and a typical ear carries an even number of rows — most often sixteen.

2. A house sparrow 28 g

   House sparrows have followed humans to every continent except Antarctica — one pair even nested deep inside an English coal mine.

3. A whole Thanksgiving turkey 7.5 kg

   Wild turkeys can fly at up to 90 km/h in short bursts; the broad-breasted domestic birds on holiday tables cannot fly at all.

4. A standard Good Delivery gold bar, the kind in bank vaults 12.4 kg

   Smaller than a brick yet heavier than most pet dogs — gold is so dense this bar would fit in a shoebox with room to spare.

5. An adult Dalmatian 25 kg

   Dalmatian puppies are born completely white; their famous spots only appear after a few weeks.

6. An average adult human, averaged across the whole world 62 kg

   Researchers computed this from global census data; North America's average is about 20 kg heavier than Asia's.
