  What are we even talking about here - tensile versus compressive strength? How do you directly compare them?

    Thats’s comparable to a single strand of spaghetti holding up about 3,300 one-pound bags of sugar
    Dear lord I really needed that to be brought down to my level. If they just say 3300 pounds, I have no idea how heavy that is.

      Have you looked at the US lately? If they still read, they still might miss it. 😅

  I don’t mean to brag, but I can effortlessly walk right through spiderwebs & destroy them.
