He is not one of us.

As a lactose intolerant person this is painfully true, so glad that there’s enough vegans now that some products advertise being vegan, makes things so much easier for me

Turns out it’d be a dissapointingly small sphere:

US annual defence budget = $800 billion

2% = $16 billion

Obsidian cost per kg = $5

Total kg in budget = 3.2 billion kg

Density of obsidian = 2.6 g/cm3 = 2600 kg/m3

Total volume of sphere = 3.2b/2600 = 1230769 m3

Volume of sphere = 4/3 π r^3

Radius = (3V/4π)^(1/3) = 66.48 m

The sphere would only stand at 133m tall, I propose we instead utilise the entire defence budget for a much more skyscraper like 490m tall orb
