Nah. I dig the reference though. But even though gold isn’t as much a fascist cabal as diamonds, we already have stones that are superior to diamonds in most every regard, some stones better than diamonds at essentially everything diamonds are prized for. Litigation, intimidation, and lobbying allow these massively rich ass hats to stay at the top of their mountain by exploiting others.
not to mention we can easily just make diamonds. Did you know if you took all the gold that has ever been mined it wouldn't even fill an Olympic swimming pool lol
Many online sources give essentially the same value for the total stocks of above-ground gold; it was about 157,000 metric tons by 2007. If the density of gold is 19.3 grams per milliliter, or 0.0193 tons per liter, then we need to divide the total number by the density (remember the density formula from school? It’s Density = Mass/Volume, so just flip it around). Thus we get about 8.2 million liters of gold. If an Olympic-sized swimming pool has a volume of 2.5 million liters, then we divide and get our answer.
So we would need 3.27 swimming pools to hold the entire global supply of gold. (Forbes.com, How Many Olympic-Sized Swimming Pools Can We Fill With Billionaire Gold?, 19 Nov 2010)
I stand corrected.
It's still a silly small amount of gold when you think about it... and at least I remembered it had something to do with swimming pools... what more do you want from a drunk and 8 years! lol
