It's so fast that they might send it across the ocean and I wouldn't know until it's too late. I've retreated upstairs so it can't directly hit me but it's going to collapse the support beams regardless.

Xi was multi-track drifting a high speed commuter train for funsies racing his friend and it went off the rails and smashed into my business that sews little MAGA hats for Beanie Babies and now I want compensation.

There has to be a decent amount of adults who bought into the Beanie baby fad that are now trump supporters, right?

I'd love to see some real numbers on this. Why are the sociologists sleeping on this important field of study?

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

You should write to your representative. This is a serious cause for concern

What if it went through my garage and smashed my Freedommobile^TM^stress

It's so much faster than my car that it could easily outrun me in a chase. That's terrifying. F*ck China.

You don't have to convince me that trains are bad, I've seen Snowpiercer.

My uncle (who is not racist IDK why everyone keeps saying that) one time was hiking in the mountains of the West and he says he saw a feral Chinese high-speed train stealing picnic baskets from terrified campers.

Why the hell would I want high-speed trains to get to work faster? I want to delay the inevitable in traffic as much as possible!

Oh, wait. I work from home. I live at work! Nooooo!!

"... collapse the support beams..."

if you're referring to the horizontal ones, you're correct. but if you're referring to the vertical ones, then it's "support columns". i'm sorry but i'd get an itch if i hadn't said that.

[-] happybadger@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

The horizontal ones that run above my kitchen. I was studying them and they're very vulnerable to Chinese trains.

then the results are unchallengable, this is top tier scientific method usage

[-] StalinIsMaiWaifu@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Ofc, everyone knows that support columns are only vulnerable to jet fuel

I dunno babe, upstairs might not be safe either. It’s going so fast it could probably launch into the sky when it goes off tracks.

There was a video posted on hexbear one or two years ago showing a train in a city that looked like it had a track built to run through a building. The train was painted like a dragon.

It'd be pretty neat to try drugs and watch a dragon 9/11 a building every hour on the hour.
