2x2 Lego brick would bulge under 3591 metres of brick
Link in Danish. Tldr: They tested strength of a brick. Found it to withstand more than 400 kg. Important fact for your Christmas dinner table dialogue.

Was it an individual brick, or one in a LEGO structure?
Only I would imagine that having knobs engaged top and bottom would make a difference to the deformation.
(edit)
This may have been answered in the article, but it was:
a) Behind a paywall, and
b) In Danish.

Ah, sorry
I thought they’d skipped the paywall.
But to answer your question: individual tested in that kind of pressure machine that the Finnish guy also uses.
