By large I mean by area, not [necessarily] density or weight. Preferably something that isn’t collapsable or capable of being easily disassembled. I want the delivery of the item to be a major pain in the ass.
What budget are we working with, like what’s the most you’d be happy to spend on this?
a dictator’s massive ego
You can order packing peanuts for ~$5/ft^3 and some places will do free shipping over a certain value. There are also decorative balloon bunches, though I don’t know about price there.
Liquids would also work. Heavy, sloshy, awkward, etc. and you don’t want to drop them because it’d make a mess.
What do they pack them in?
They pad the packing peanuts crate out with brand new furniture.
Tobias, from accounting: The shipping department is the only one running at a loss. Why is your department ordering so much furniture?
Thomas, Shipping: How else are we supposed to make 1 ft^3 of packing peanuts fill a box big enough to destroy the spine and sanity of the UPS driver?
Tobias: Why would you want to do that?
Thomas: It’s part of the departmental vision statement. The company has one. Why can’t we?
In themselves, of course!
The National Parks.
I guarantee you, for the amount you pay in your taxes for the upkeep of YOUR National Parks, you get orders of magnitude more beautiful land to enjoy than the acreage you could possibly purchase directly.
Before Trump fucked it all up that is, of course…
I missed Trump fucking things up and I need to know now…
If I understand correctly, this one is still in progress, i.e. her hasn’t quite accomplished it yet. They tried to add the selloff of public land to the big piece of shit bill, but I think that failed?
Ty!
I am curious what the purpose of this is
To spite either a delivery person or the person the item will be delivered to.
Drywall. Heavy, fragile, 2 out of 3 dimensions are relatively large. Easy to transport when you’re stacking them in a truck but difficult up the stairs for example.
Bubble wrap. Cheap-ish per m³ if taking up space is more important but Easy to carry a roll of that around alone.
A really big sheet of paper?
They tend to roll those up.
Bedbug ridden camper with no axles. A tow company with a flatdeck could easily load and unload still, but if you got it delivered while they were not home it would be a nightmare. Bonus points if it’s an apartment complex and you can put it in their stall.
I think if you’re looking for largest volume of material to dump on your enemy per its cost, your best options are either going to be dirt or possibly a huge amount of expanded polystyrene, i.e. styrofoam. If you’re doing this outside I think dirt is a better option, unless you can find somewhere to source really huge blocks of styrofoam. A thousand cubic feet of packing peanuts (approximately $2714) would certainly be funny, but they’d probably be prone to blowing away. That’s no good if you want the mark having a tough time getting rid of them.
For reference, a thousand cubic feet is around the same size as a school bus.
If by area you mean then buy a bottle of paint or even better, exfoliated graphene! Or graphite, that also has football fields of surface area in it. If you mean volume, then a very large hot air balloon may be an inexpensive space filling purchase.
By area activated charcoal has a ton of surface area
Eat fiber supplements for a day. The delivery won’t disappoint.
Bouncy castle
2.5k€ for a house in Italy still sounds like a pretty wild deal tho
Tap for spoiler
~(its probably not, unless you are very aware of what you are actually getting yourself into!)
Air, cuz it’s free, and by size the biggest object in our planet
No way, at all. The Earth itself isn’t air and has WAY more volume than the atmosphere.
