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.
it's 11.5 stone
Equivalent to 14 winter parsnips. If we want to get accurate about it.
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.
He ran it 457.143 times
c/theydidthemath
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
Dear fellow anarchist,
32 / 0.07 = 457.142857

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.
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.
There was a pokemon
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.
I hope this is him.
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.
OP is a subatomic particle in a physics lab.

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]
This would be a life goal of mine if they could guarantee I wasn't going to get a damn DVD.
I hope he changes direction every few laps because sidewalks have a slant to them.
I hope for this person that they switch direction every now and then. Constantly turning in the same direction doesn't sound optimal
Just like NASCAR:
Go fast, turn left!
OOP could be a fully functional Artificial Intelligence in a video game and no one would notice.
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?
...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?)
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
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)
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.
I wanna know his lap times and how long it took
Congratulations, you used GPS to draw Japanese Calligraphy.
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.

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)
Also: civilian GPS is not super accurate. Or maybe our runner got board and started hopping fences Ferris Bueller style?
The app devs didn't expect this kind of problem, haha.
When my cat looked at the screen, she tried to play with that.
I put everything on a bagel
