Apparently, they do. For example, the white-tailed deer has a shoulder height of 1.0m to 1.1m, and that’s in the North. Towards the South, they get smaller.
I guess, that would be a general thing. Mainland US is relatively temperate. The real giant kinds of deer, like e.g. moose/elks, only really live in colder regions, which are further north (including in Alaska).
I worked at McDonald’s for quite a while as a teen. A regular hamburger patty there is 1/10 lb and a quarter pounder is…as you might suspect 1/4 lb. That would make an adult deer weight between 80 - 200 lbs.
The average weight of an adult male whitetail deer is 203 lb (maximum, 405 lb). The average weight of a female is about 155 lb (maximum, 218 lb).
I don’t recall receiving any training on the weight of the condiments or buns, but I’d suspect they weight slightly more than the small patty amd slightly less than the larger one, so let’s assume 1/5 lb. That changes our original 80 - 200 lb range to be 240 - 360 which is a little too heavy.
In conclusion, hamburgers are a shit measurement, but if you had a mix of 800 child-size and adult-sized burgers and you hit it with your truck, it would do a similar amount of damage as hitting a deer.
Yeah, it’s particularly weird, because surely people from the US have a good sense how much a pound weighs, and a pound weighs more than a burger, so you need to imagine a less big number of them.
Bicycle is fine because it’s an everyday object I can visualise, but what the hell am I supposed to do with 800 burgers?
WTF my bike is about a metre twenty high
Have they got fuckin dwarf deer there or something
I don’t understand what you’re saying. How many piled hamburgers in a metre?

Mule or black tail maybe?
Eat em!
Ok, gimmie
Unfortunately, I have an eating disorder that limits my diet severely. Burgers don’t make the list, I’m afraid.
I feel ya. I also can’t eat 800 hamburgers. We’re a silent majority.
But you don’t have to eat a weight to understand how heavy it feels. Just picking it up is usually sufficient (within human lifting range of course).
Americans are way more familiar with hamburgers that bycicles
Can confirm.

Give em to yo mama for a light afternoon snack?
Haha that was a good one
Invite guests round for dinner at the White House.
No, that’s hamberders.
It’s about 3/4 the weight of the average American.
Also what kind of deer?
Bicycles come in a variety of sizes and configurations tho…
Divide by 4.
what’s 1/4 of a Royale with cheese?
15 grams.

And people are much closer in size - isn’t “the weight of your uncle Eddie” more meaningful?
Hum… What part of the bike exactly? And there are bikes with widely different sizes out there.
Overall, it lets me have an idea of the size. Unfortunately, not as good an idea as that reference-free photo.
