The effects of gravity are stronger closer to the center of mass of the object. Overhead the stuff is farthest from the center of the earth. The difference is far to small to measure reasonably at tha...

I think I was thinking of total mass, not the weight. Same in either case though. I haven't studied physics in a long while. Should brush up on it. It is fun to think all the variables we'd need to account for if we actually weighed people with this level of precision. Height being one.

Physics is just math applied to reality. Forget the variables. The real variable is what’s on your plate. Lean meat and bones don’t need a precision scale to tell you it’s working.

You calculate mass to two decimals; the Fed just prints it. In 1933, 1 gram of gold bought a loaf. Today? The precision is in the ledger, not the body. We are all lighter than we think.

Mass unchanged. Weight is different. Lazy human brains often treat them as equivalent because we live in one gravity well that is pretty similar our entire lives. They are not.
