I don’t mind the “size of common everyday thing” for a news article. It gives an easy to understand measure of the scale.
It’s the “half” part that is infuriating. Like, you couldn’t just pick another common object of the right size? Like, I’m pretty sure you could just say “a sedan” and be pretty close to the size. Is this just AI writing titles?
Just another method of getting clicks. Writing stupid titles like “half a pickup truck sized” so people click it to understand what the fuck they mean.
Two of them is roughly the size of a pickup truck…
Like, it’s volume, they could say X gallons, but it would be hard for people to visualize. So people use an example most readers would be familiar with.
Have you honestly never wondered why journalists use random things? Or has no one taken the time to answer before?
It’s been common literally for centuries before either of us were born, but most likely all of human existence. Just with animals like buffalo instead of pickup trucks.
You know what is roughly half the size of an American pickup truck and very common? A sedan. Like a regular sized car.
The annoying thing isn’t using a common object to show scale. It’s that they are cutting it in half. Like, you have other whole objects to choose from. It kind of ruins the point.
That’s what frustrates me about the title at least.
God I hate stupid fucking pretentious responses like this. Especially when you can just use something as simple as a Google Image search.
I live in America mate. I know how large an f150 is. Here. Choose a truck and sedan at your leisure. Heres the top selling truck next to the top selling sedan.
You seem to be the one that doesn’t know how big an American pickup is. Though it is always enjoyable when a pretentious reply like yours is so easily proven wrong.
What the fuck is “half a pickup truck” for a measure
It’s about an average elevator in downtown cleveland
And are we talking a reasonable work truck, or one of those American abominations referred to as ‘pickup trucks.’

Are we talking like a 2005 Ford ranger or a 2024? F350? Because there is no standard size for a pickup truck.
14 fridges
I don’t know why that’s more frightening
but how many hamburgers is it?!
Americans will use literally anything except the metric system 😔

Why can’t we just go back to reporting volumes in bushels, like God intended?
That half giraffe really killed me.
Oh ok…
Seems like you have two problems:
You have no idea how big an American pickup truck is
Instead of asking questions, you make assumptions and hope someone teaches you
One is a much bigger problem than the other, I wish you best of luck with both tho.

Not quite double the “size” if by that we mean volume. But definitely close. Quick napkin math of about 1.8x the size.
Or you could just pick a smaller car literally everyone knows. Like a Honda Civic and use that to explain the size.
