SortStack #504 — 2027-10-26

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 stick of butter 113 g

   US butter sticks come in two shapes: the stubby 'Western' stick exists because West Coast dairies bought different molds.

3. A capybara, the world's largest rodent 50 kg

   Capybaras are so famously chill that birds, monkeys, and even crocodilians perch and lounge on them like furniture.

4. An adult giant panda 110 kg

   Pandas spend up to 14 hours a day eating bamboo because they digest only about a fifth of what they swallow.

5. An adult male sperm whale 45 t

   Its clicks reach about 230 decibels — the loudest animal sound on Earth — and a third of its body is one giant sonar-focusing nose.

6. A fully loaded Triple-E class container ship 250K t

   It hauls around 18,000 containers with a crew of only about 22 — fewer people than a fast-food restaurant shift.
