Have you seen the elementary school experiment where you spin an egg on a flat surface, then you stop the egg and let it go and the then the egg starts spinning again?
If the earth suddenly stopped spinning, the atmosphere would still be spinning at 1700km/h.
A cat 5 hurricane has wind speeds of 253km/h. So we’d be boned.
Not quite. When you’re rotating, you are constantly accelerating in a tangent direction to the diameter. So the poster is right that we should be feeling a force shooting us away from the center of earth.
Except the force of gravity cancels out the centripetal force and then some.
So [force of gravity] - [centripetal force of Earth’s rotation] = 9.8m/s^2
Yep, and unfortunately a lot of fascists on Reddit.
I do like how whenever a conservative Lemmy pops up, it has more trolls than users and the mods abandon it within a few weeks.
Very cool. I’ll put some in my cart. My kids will get a kick out of it.
Can you give us the vibe of the rpg?
Is it better at combat or roleplay? High magic? D20 based?
Oh man that looks wicked. How bright is it in person? And is that stock, or did you charge it up a bit with a UV light?
That’s awesome, thanks a lot!
How do you like the chameleon? I’m thinking about adding it to my k1.
Aww does the wittle baby not want to die of mawaria?
I was just about to ask, is it as awful as it sounds?
Lol yes real peanuts. I wouldn’t wish the orange foam on my worst enemies.
Eat it with a handful of peanuts. Goes from awful to awesome.
Incredible art. The website has great short stories for them. Like, really short, but great.
Yep, the reason so many trumpers were shocked that Biden won.
I guess there’s a nice “fuck you” factor, but it’s unlikely that you’ll see any benefit from the extra tax.
In theory the community is already benefiting from tourist dollars.
You could hope it would price people out of traveling, but honestly it will probably just skew the demographic to be richer.
My little sister watched this movie on repeat for a solid six months. I can’t remember if it was any good because I was so angry by the end.
Let the original actors voice the puppets, but rewrite the dialogue to match them.
That was great. I’ve never seen a matter wash board player before.
Xena was obviously better, but BOTH had sexy young Bruce Campbell as the king of thieves.
It sounded like the guy meant the 1700km/h is a velocity, not an acceleration, which is why we don’t feel the force of acceleration.
I was pointing out that spinning is acceleration, just in this case we can’t feel it due to other forces.
