EDIT: I calculated for ONE baby elephant and forgot it was supposed to be THREE!! lol it’s even more implausible. fixed
no, a naturally occuring asteroid could not be that dense. According to the given “units” the asteroid would be over 30 times heavier than the densest stable element.
using some quick values from a search engine:
a 12 oz beverage can holds 355 mL, I’ll round up to 360 mL.
thanks to AI slop & the internet being shitty now it’s harder to find a good baby elephant weight (almost like it’s a shit unit!). I’m going to go with 220 pounds.
220 pounds = 100 kg
so the density is 300/360 or 0.833 kg/mL, or 833g/cm3
For a comparison, the core of the sun has 150g/cm³. The closest thing I could find was the stellar core of a star with 0.1 solar masses, which is 500g/cm³. Apparently the density in the core increases as mass decreases, at least for main sequence stars, the other stars seem to work differently and can get higher in another scale.
…can something (naturally occurring) that small really be that dense?

osmium is the densest stable element at 23 g/cm3
Just your typical every day asteroid made of neutron removed matter, nothing to see here

Thank you

That’s a pretty dense asteroid
What if America has really big dr pepper cans. Or.maybe they’re referring to the actual doctor
That’s if it is naturally occurring…
there’s a joke in here about short king libs but I can’t quite find it
