  • ~83m/s

    For the Americans here, 83m is ~0.83 football fields

    It’s more than 3 times the common speed limits on roads, and more than 2 times faster than any speed limit on a motorway in the world (Autobahn doesn’t have limit)

    Let’s imagine your car could pull 6g while decelerating, which is the upper limit what non-trained person is able to take. This would mean that from hitting the brake pedal, your car would move for another 1.4 seconds, in which time it had moved 116 metres. Realistically it’d be A LOT longer but should give a some kind of idea















  • I think it’s valid either way. “I’m not attracted to men, thus I’m straight” is as valid as “tried it, didn’t like it, thus I’m straight”

    And works the other way around too, I imagine many people who define themselves gay have had romantic or sexual experiences with the opposite sex, but didn’t like it.
