By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A single office staple 33 mg

   Heavier than a grain of rice — staples are solid steel wire, and a standard strip glues 210 of them together.

2. 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.

3. A front-loading washing machine 76 kg

   Much of the heft is a deliberate concrete counterweight — without it, the spin cycle would walk the machine across your floor.

4. An adult male wild boar 90 kg

   Wild boars are thriving so well they have spread or been introduced to every continent except Antarctica.

5. The CN Tower in Toronto 117.9K t

   It held the title of world's tallest free-standing structure for 32 years, and its glass floor was the world's first.

6. The Great Pyramid of Giza 5.8M t

   Roughly 2.3 million stone blocks were stacked over about 20 years — averaging a block placed every few minutes of every workday.
