      Well, Ukraine is definitely off the Christmas card list now, that much is certain. They’ll be lucky to even get a Happy New Year’s text at this point.

          A banana is to a mile as a banana peel is to a square mile.

          A banana peel is 181.48 sq cm or 7.007 × 10-9 sq miles, so…

          (386.1 (sq miles)) / (7.00736808e-9 (sq miles)/(banana peel)) =

          5.50991464 × 1010 banana peels.

          So 55 billion, give or take.

          Internet tells me a banana is about 200 square centimeters, which confused me so I had to convert that back into measurements I understand.

          Google says 200 square centimeters is about 1 bananas worth.

          So anyways ~200 billion bananas if my napkin math checks out.

    You mean 1,000 sq kms of East Ukraine?

    Edit: I need help with my cardinal directions.

      Well, that depends on which end of Ukraine just got a bit bigger. Could be West Ukraine, could be North or East Ukraine too, my world geography is absolutely abysmal, so I wouldn’t be able to say for sure.

          I also have fingers that don’t listen to my brain. The struggle is real! ✊️

          Edit: just finally looked at a map…pretty sure West Ukraine would used to have been Poland…
