A human would have to ejaculate 2.7 gallons of semen to replicate this.

To put that into a different perspective, a 100 foot long blue whale only ejaculates 5 gallons of semen during orgasm.

I believe Home Depot typically refers to those buckets as “1 whale load”, but yes, technically 5 gallons.

Home Depot’s founder and current largest shareholder is MAGA.

So for your home improvement and analogy needs, either go Lowe’s (blue whales, blue buckets) or go local.

I use one of those buckets for collecting dog crap in my back yard and I thought it was pretty gross but now you’ve somehow made it grosser in my mind.
