The USDA has 1.5 billion pounds of cheese stashed in caves in Missouri

Maybe one could be built the size of the dwarf planet Pluto. Which is smaller, less massive, than our moon. /s

Dare I say that I always thought this type of American cheese WAS a secret weapon?

Whenever I hear about this, I imagine people in smocks and hairnets piling up cheese in dusty rows. Apparently US consumption is high enough the cheese isn’t just sitting there? I wish there was like a documentary that followed a wheel of cheese on its journey through the caves.

Top cheese.

I calculate that at close to five full loads of a Maersk E class super container ship. Like the Emma Maersk which can carry up to 11,000 14 tonne shipping containers. That’s a lot of cheese

Let me know if anyone does. I’m in.

If we dropped all 1.5 billion pounds of the cheese from the Moon’s orbital altitude causing it to impact the Earth at about 11 km/s, it would have a kinetic energy equivalent to 19.7 megatons of TNT (using the standard conversion 1 kiloton of TNT ~ 1 teracalorie).

Big deal. That’s not even half the yield of the AN602 device, so why bother?

Think of it as a kind of high-energy fondue.

Atmospheric friction would cause most of it to burn up before impact, but that would give the atmosphere a delectable cheesy aroma.

You drop your piece of bread more than twice, in the lake you go. You know that, right?

The cheese ball would be roughly 100 m in diameter. I think much of it would reach the ground. A sort of high-impact raclette.

Is it worth preparing a kirsch lake with baguette kayaks?
