Did anyone fall for this when they were younger:
Teacher: "what's heavier 100 kg of feathers, or 100 kg of bricks". We all thought bricks lel

Oh crap I just realized that lol
-
Gets 'em every time!
-
But, bricks do weigh more than feathers?
-
Not if you have the same weight in both lol
-
Oh. Wow I feel retarded.
-
No, bricks just have a higher density, meaning the mass can be more compactly stored into a brick than a pile of feathers, that weigh very little on their own with a very small density.
-
Plus you have wind resistance to count for, which arguably matters more that regular mass factoring, at least on Earth

Hah lol
