America alone probably throws out that amount of food in a week.

I would say, 3 days. There are 7.4 BILLION people on this Earth. 1 Mt.Everest of food would be nothing to sustain that.

7.8B now

Still, it's alot

does the food spoil?

No

so mount everest weighs 357,000,000,000,000
and the average person eats 4 pounds of food per day, although you could eat just one pound a day (I don't recommend it though) if you had to
and there are 7,900,000,000 people on earth
375,000,000,000,000 divided by 7,900,000,000 is 47468.3544304
so it would take about 47468 days to run out of food if everyone was rationing and being careful, which is 6781.19349005 weeks, 1582.27848101 months, and 131.856540084 years, which is more than a century, although this is rationed out the entire time
If people were eating normally and eating 4 pounds per day, we would get 11867.0886076 days, which is 1695.29837251 weeks, 395.569620253 months, and 32.9641350211 years.
So in summary
if everyone rations out their food it will last for 132 years, but if they don't, it will only last 33

>:3

on how on earth you just solved something impossible?

o-o

what?

Thing is food weighs a lot less than rock

But rock is way denser than most food

I'm assuming nobody rations and everyone eats it normally

most likley

Pffffffffffffft, the population eats that much food on a weekly basis

actually n o

Seven billion people adds up

according to my ~c a l c u l a t i o n s~ if they ate it in a normal way and shared it with everyone it would last 33 years

Yeah, actually, but you didn’t take in people who eat more food than usually required, like for instance the military soldiers, extreme athletes, or just fat people

this is just a estimation

Yeah.

ok

Less than a year

132 years if they ration it out and 33 if they don't

nope
A portion of the population will hog all of it, therefore it won’t feed the whole world population for even a year

hmm
that does make sense

Wherever the mountain was, is who would hog it. Why would America give any of the food too Canada? Why would China give any of the food to Australia?

that is true

I'm assuming that won't happen

It would

3 days.

"Support", as in feed? I ask because it sounds like you may be wondering how long they could all stand together on top of the mountain, which probably wouldn't be long, lol

No
I meant feed

Okay :)

A couple days maybe
But some government would make a wall around it and something like that and guard it

Starting at base line.

Mount Everest is about 2.1 trillion cubic feet

I kind of cheated and got basic pounds per cubic foot of food you need to live on and calories per pound of said food from https://www.survivalistboards.com/threads/food-storage-by-the-cubic-foot.162298/

Beans rice and grains have an average caloric density of 1546 calories per pound, and have an average density of 44 pounds per cubic foot

Multiplying those together, you get 68024 calories per cubic foot

Mount Everest has the volume of 2.1 trillion cubic feet. Multiply this volume by the caloric density of the food and you get 142.8504 quadrillion calories basic, densest foods human need to live on can fit in Mount Everest.

There are many estimations of how many calories humans need to live on (they're not the full story), but I found a pretty common estimate for somewhat active people is 2300 calories per day. Multiply this by the US census bureau's global population estimate as of June 2021 of 7,557,130,400 people and you get that the entire population of Earth consumes about 17,427,399,920,000 calories/day.

Finally, divide the total number of calories in Mount Everest's size by the daily caloric intake of Earth's entire population, and you get about 8197 days, or 22.45 years.

As an upper bound, not a perfect answer

And now - I feel retarded

I am raiding you for triggering the ultimate penalty

Please stay away of these illegal activities to NOT trigger the ultimate penalty:
-Stealing my temp
-Being below a comment that says "The person below will get the ultimate penalty"

F**k off, Sus Annie

and you

Welcome to hell
