It weighs as much as Jordan Peterson's ego

So, I found in photoshop that the length of the lobster is about 717 pixels, and the radius of the bucket is about 848 pixels. That means that the length of the lobster is 84.5% of the radius of the bucket. If we substitute the radius of the earth (6,371 km ) for the radius of the bucket we find that the length of the lobster is 5383.5 km or 5.3835 * 10^9 mm. According to the Central Institute of Fisher's Technology, the weight of a lobster is given by the equation W = 0.000566 L^2 . 5. If we plug in our length we get a weight of 1.2045954 * 10^21 g or 1.2045954 * 10^18 kg. For comparison that's 3639261027.19 times heavier than the empire state building.
TL;DR about 1.2045954 * 10^18 kg
Nice work! I think that it may be a crawfish and not a lobster though.
Maybe, but I couldn't find any ratios between length and weight for crawfish.
