At the current rate of sediment accumulation in lake Erie, it would accumulate enough fine grained material to fill its volume in less than 70,000 years.
This assumes a lot i.e that we wouldnt dredge material, that something else doesnt wipe them out first etc.
Until they become the Alright Lakes.
This is askscience. We need a standardized scale for this.
Great should obviosly be near the top. But is Ok above or below Alright?
Point taken. I’d suggest something along the lines of this scale:
great > good > alright > ok > adequate > meh > fair > subpar > unfortunate > abysmal

Last?
Are they going away?
I mean most things do eventually
42
Seconds? Years? Decades? Meters? AU?
Care to give a unit?
It’s a joke. It’s a reference to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy where the answer to the ultimate question is 42. It’s designed to not make sense.
Yep. Which is why I said time and distance units.
Well woosh on me.
The unit is 42
Oh, the unit is the universe.
And the number too, much more efficient
