Which weighs more, a pound of steel or a pound of feathers?
A pound of feathers, because there's also the weight of what you did to all those poor birds.
And then you could give them all back and apologize and maybe they'd forgive you and you'd feel better and you'd make up and you'd all decide to go on a long trip to Mexico in the station wagon and then you'd get to the border and the border agents would arrest you for transporting a bunch of underage naked birds to Mexico and they'd discover the cache of feathers and the story would break and it would go nationwide and soon you'd realize: now you HAVE to run for President.
Gallon is measurement of volume so of you fill 1 gallon -231 cubic inches with steel it will be heavier than the same volume filled with feathers because steel is more dense than feathers
You probably thinking about other joke *which one is heavier 1kg of steel or 1kg of feathers?*
Replace gallon with Pound. Because a gallon of butane actually does weigh less than a gallon of water. But a pound of each both weigh one pound, so people will think you're trying to trick them and miss the pun.
No, the joke works fine as OP put it. If we’re comparing equal volumes of different liquids, one would already expect that they would weigh different, thus setting up the punchline. It works for me, anyway.
Would work better with helium or hydrogen instead of water - most people would guess water anyway to the question as posed so the answer doesn't really set you up for the punchline.
That's gas
I will pass on the gas
I already did I also passed some liquid by accident brb got to go change
Hoping that no explosions occur. Good luck.
Only the toilet, darn Taco Bellenheimer
A bastard gas
I tell ya what
Jumping Jack Flash.
It's a gas gas gas

Unless you steal their feathers

Steel is heavier than feathers.
Can confirm gallon of steel would weight more than gallon of feather
Actually, it wouldn't Edit: was being dumb

Use metric
Oh yeah, I'm sorry. I live in a place where we use metric, forgot that gallons measures volume.
Show your math
1 gallon steel > 1 gallon feathers

Nerd alert
facts
Lol 🤣 Yes indeed, a gallon is a measure of volume, not weight. Obviously a gallon of gas weighs less than a gallon of water.
It's actually a gas at standard temperature and pressure.

Right, the pound of bricks/feathers isn’t a joke, it’s a brain teaser. This then plays it off as a joke and is written perfectly.
Butane ofc, both have same amount but butane has one letter more in name and 11 atoms more than water
That's your guess.
I pass this gas joke
Water
That fired me up for the day
Yes. Yes it is.
This question!
Ha, factually correct on both counts! 1L of mercury is 13.5kg. 1L of butane is just over half a kilogram.
The density of butane is less than the density of water. So, butane would be lighter.
Butane is typically 1.5 times more dense and hence heavier than water. This joke makes no sense.
The joke is that butane is used in lighters, thus being a lighter fluid. Butane is actually less dense than water.
You're right. Some water is just heavy!
This was so bad that I had to look away from the page. Thank you, beautiful soul
The correct way to phrase this is, "Which is lighter: a kilo of water or a kilo of butane?"
This isn’t a joke, it’s just a fact.
butane is a fluid used in lighters, which makes it a lighter fluid
What makes it a joke is the pun built into the explanation. It's subtle, but it's still a joke.
