SortStack #3402 — 2035-10-02

By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A black garden ant worker 1.5 mg

   Ants can carry 10 to 50 times their own body weight — the square-cube law makes tiny bodies absurdly strong for their size.

2. An iPhone 15 Pro 187 g

   Its titanium frame is the same alloy grade used in spacecraft and joint implants, trimming heft from earlier steel models.

3. A liter of water 1 kg

   The kilogram was originally defined in the 1790s as the mass of exactly this much water — the tie was only fully broken in 2019.

4. An adult red fox 5.2 kg

   Red foxes may use Earth's magnetic field to aim their famous pouncing dives — they prefer striking toward the northeast.

5. A giant Pacific octopus 30 kg

   It can squeeze its entire body through any gap larger than its beak — the only hard part it owns.

6. The Golden Gate Bridge 805K t

   Its two main cables contain enough wire to circle the Earth three times, and painting crews never actually finish — they cycle forever.
