Came here to say this. If you couldn't hold up a car battery of that size which is only half lead and mostly lead acid then you're not going to be able to hold up a solid gold brick which is heavier than lead that is that size
These are military fighters, they have a minimum of fitness far greater than your average American butter golem. Take a look at that one dude's forearms, that's no skinny-fat you're looking at with stick-arms trying to hold that thing up.
i don't care about us 'unfairly' taking gold from arabs, i just want it to be in our hands, not jews. all their oil and gold should belong to us. without us, their oil is just useless gunk in the ground. they don't deserve to make money from our inventions.

My favorite alien conspiracy theory is that we were genetically programmed to mine and hoard Gold so that when they return we will have a fresh supply of it waiting for them. Kind of like how we use pigs to sniff out truffles.
Seriously though, it’s the only metal that does not tarnish or degrade. Considering we’re a species that has spent most of our existence struggling with how to make watertight containers, this kind of makes sense.

Struggling? I'd say we've done an alright job. I'd even say that making a water tight container is less of a technical feat than making a wheel. Even the Japanese didn't manage to invent that.

Gold is heavy. Heavier than I imagined.
Totally possible that those bars are gold alloy or even something else with a small layer of gold.
