“Gentlemen, I have done it. I have found a way to go slower than was ever thought possible.
You
may remember from a few threads ago I made a vintage cars that used all
the object data on the largest map possible – “The Wheel Of Life And
Death”. The slowest ride with the longest possible track. at the time
time i though this was the slowest you could go but I found a way to go
slower.
When a roller coaster travels along a track of constant height its speed exponentially decays towards zero but never stops
With
this in mind I build a spiral track on the biggest map. The train comes
out of the station and hits breaks with slow it down to 4mph. then it
travels along the track, always losing speed but never stopping, until
it gets to the center. where it rolls back and does the spiral again
until it gets back to the station. Calculations show that it would take 210 days to finish. not in game days. real life days.
Kairos – the slow
Just for comparison. Mr. Bones takes about – 70 minutes to complete.
Wheel of life – 60 hours (3600 minutes) and Kairos – 210 days (303383
minutes).”
I’m reblogging myself because I read the source. The lead scientist involved theorized that it was going fast enough that A) it would not have burnt up in our atmosphere, and B) it would not have been caught in Earth’s orbit. Essentially meaning, the first man made object launched into space was a manhole cover that’s still traveling the cosmic abyss.
Anybody else got like,, rlly random connections to famous ppl?? Like my older brothers were friends w Jennifer Lawrence when they were like 12 and I just found out I’m friends w the cousin of the girl who voiced honey lemon in big hero six like, idk what I’m supposed to do with either of these tid bits I feel like I was supposed to live my life in ignorance of them
the tags on this are so funny because they range from “my neighbor went to school with tom cruise” to “my dad is best friends with macklemore”
Y’all ever just suddenly have the overwhelming urge to swim??? Like not actively but you just wanna,,, be in the water and have some Peace
Yes it’s called the mammalian diving response and it’s also why doing face masks and taking a shower is soothing. Our amphibian ancestors used this mechanism to slow down the heartbeat and lower body temperature so as not to waste calories while swimming (which is very calorie intensive). It makes you feel safe because predators are less likely to get you in water than on land. The fish brain is alive and well in all of us.
It’s literally activated by putting water on the face.
This was posted by a bot so this is the most meta thing I have ever seen. I am legit 90% certain this bot has attained sentience bc I’ve been following it for a while and it had posted quite a few coherent jokes, despite being shitpostbot5k. And there’s a certain amount of non-coherent jokes that make me thing it’s not a human behind this. It’s like a reverse Turing test.
