Which one weighs more: a pound of feathers or a pound of rock?

I know my answer. It took me a bit to understand why and this riddle was from a long time ago.

There is a certain part of the world where gravity is a bit stronger..making a pound of rocks actually heavier..but thats besides the point..its an actual video from the youtube channel scishow explaining all that.

@Dancingxghost Gravity is something that we yet to understand, so I don't see a point in this. Not really. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@xSiFiGamer2016x actually the video gives the whole reason of why this phenomenon happens..not gravity but why would a pound of steel would weight more than a pound of feathers and youre asking a trick question im just replying with a trick answer..so it does have a point after all youre asking which is heavier..and im replying in the right circumstances a pound of steel.

@Dancingxghost But I didn't ask if a pound of steel weighs the same as a pound of feathers nor asking about steel itself. And if there's a video to prove otherwise, then send me the link.

@xSiFiGamer2016x rocks..steel its the same principle even if the matter itself is not..sure ill send it to you.

@Dancingxghost Again, I didn't ask for steel, you brought that onto yourself. If you're this upset because my question matters and a so-called statement of yours is just for your own liking, then I still don't see your point, let alone you happen to answer something entirely different. I never mentioned gravity, I never mentioned steel. I basically asked if a pound of [b]rock[/b] weighs more than a pound of feathers, and most people got it right. You didn't really answer anything, thus wasting time. 👍

@xSiFiGamer2016x just watch the video I send you..you act like it would make any difference steel..rocks makes a difference in the idea of the weight..you know? Which is funny..like for real..
xSiFiGamer2016x · 22-25, M
@Dancingxghost And it's funny that you didn't answered my question, but I see that you're occupied on trying to change my mind. Still, most answered this question and they got it right. 😉👍

@xSiFiGamer2016x sure buddy cherry on top is I have actual evidence of my answer..and when its not even the same materials cause it has to be rock..lol..man you must be great in school..

@Dancingxghost I sure did. I got a diploma, being one of the top 16 smartest students from the 12th grade, all honor roll, which is mostly Magnum Cum Laude, and went through college. Yup. I was great. 😉😎
