See this is the superiority of the metric system. You say 0.112 km loop and you know that's a 112 m loop. Say 0.07 miles and thefuckisthat.

Equivalent to 14 winter parsnips. If we want to get accurate about it.

[-] lauha@lemmy.one 16 points 5 months ago

That's 70 millimiles obviously. How is that different to metric?

Sorry, am european. I know fuck all about imperial units.

Easy. You open https://einheiten.quadrivium.de/ go with distance 0.07 miles and you see its 3.8 blue whales..

Yeah decimal inches/miles/whatever is probably the worst crime of the system.

I don't think they did it right. A) because he said he ran 32 miles on that loop or 451 and a bit loops and B) I think even if he ran all 3200 miles that year, OP is off by a factor of 10

[-] frobeniusnorm@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Dear fellow anarchist,

32 / 0.07 = 457.142857

source: my calculator app

EDIT: dammit, i am from germany and , is here the decimal point . i copied it from the app, gonna correct it

If a mouse did this in study, we would euthanize it from mercy. I don't even know if the first meth mice were this obsessive compulsive.

[-] Chocrates@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

That's not true. They have put mouse exercise wheels in the wild and mice use them for fun. Mice love to run.

There was actually an interesting "exercise drug" line of research seeing if they could make a pharmaceutical that would make exercise fun. Wonder if that went anywhere.

And he also flew off the track because he came into that bend too hot.

[-] Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz 13 points 5 months ago

Maybe be thought about leaving the cul de sac for one loop. I imagine the madness would take hold at some point during this.

This guy and the guy who has been running through my neighborhood at night with glow sticks taped to his body would be great friends I feel.

Pete and Pete was, in my opinion, the absolute pinnacle of what could be done in a show for kids.

Meanwhile, Toby Huss in the picture up there went on to be in Halt and Catch Fire and was the voices of Kahn and Cotton on King of the Hill. Talented dude apart from being the strongest man in the world.

Reminds me of this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Transcendence_3100_Mile_Race

This race, which lasts several weeks, is hosted by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team and takes place every summer in Queens, New York City. The course is 3,100 miles (4,989 km) long. Runners negotiate 5,649 laps of one extended city block in Jamaica, Queens, bounded by 164th Place, Abigail Adams (84th) Avenue, 168th Street, and the Grand Central Parkway — a distance of 0.5488 miles (883 m) — while the streets are in normal use.[2] The runners have 52 days to complete the distance, running from 6 a.m. to midnight, an average of 59.62 miles (95.95 km) every day. The prize is typically a T-shirt, a DVD, or a small trophy.[3]

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 9 points 5 months ago

This would be a life goal of mine if they could guarantee I wasn't going to get a damn DVD.

[-] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 22 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I hope he changes direction every few laps because sidewalks have a slant to them.

[-] gerryflap@feddit.nl 18 points 5 months ago

I hope for this person that they switch direction every now and then. Constantly turning in the same direction doesn't sound optimal

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 7 points 5 months ago

Just like NASCAR:

Go fast, turn left!

[-] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago

OOP could be a fully functional Artificial Intelligence in a video game and no one would notice.

[-] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Your use of "OOP" and "functional" threw me for a loop for a second, then I remembered this isn't about programming. I should get some extra sleep tonight.

Was this posted by a goldfish?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

...is it a repost? I scrolled back a bit and didn't see it.

(edit: oh wait, did you mean the original original post, like he's stuck in a fish bowl?)

[-] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I don't think so, this is the first time I'm seeing it

Edit: yes I was talking about the person going around in circles like a goldfish in a bowl lol

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Ah, gotcha. It went right over my head... whoops. Lol

I’m choosing to imagine he’s running a very very very slightly larger circle each time, getting closer and closer to his neighbours as he goes - instead of it being the precision of the sat nav (and the larger circles only being noticed over a matter of weeks)

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Hey, that's me as an 11-or-12-year old, I used to jog around the block in the old central section of town at night, my parents didn't want me straying, there was an old park nearby with shady characters lurking there at night, and the old red light bar district was about three blocks away in the other direction.

[-] spankinspinach@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 months ago

I wanna know his lap times and how long it took

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Congratulations, you used GPS to draw Japanese Calligraphy.

[-] Rolando@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

The Flash briefly appears in [the alternate universe story] Kingdom Come when the book is establishing its world's status quo. Described as living "between the ticks of a second," the Scarlet Speedster has turned his home of Keystone City into a crime-free paradise. He'd pushed himself so hard and gotten so fast that he was effectively omnipresent and could easily stop any disturbance before it began. However, in the process, Wally West had stopped slowing down to do human things like talk to people or sleep.

[-] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

I like to think the road leading into the cul-de-sac is accurate in size and his paths varied by about three road-widths and he was running through people's yards at times.

(The truth is probably that the app doesn't draw over previous paths so 450 laps equals 450 lines side-by-side)

[-] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Also: civilian GPS is not super accurate. Or maybe our runner got board and started hopping fences Ferris Bueller style?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

The app devs didn't expect this kind of problem, haha.
