I have done this against my entire family wanting to not let me watch DBZ on Toonami, for their own bullshit, despite me only getting to watch like 1 hour of TV.

JayObey711, in survival optional.

My driving instructor told me about a Czech guy who drove to Germany to have fun with his expensive car. He reached well over 300km/h and the local government pressed charges. They claimed that although there is no direct speed limit, drivers are supposed to drive at reasonable speed given all circumstances. But because the man made sure to drive at 4 in the morning on the middle of nowhere all charges where dropped.

330km/h is the sound barrier. Sooo you can legally break the sound barrier on the Autobahn.

kennismigrant,

330km/h is the sound barrier

This is false. Sound barrier is an aerodynamic effect that affects vehicles at speeds close to the speed of sound in air, which is slightly above 1200 km/h (at sea level, normal temperature and humidity).

EherVielleicht,

I love you guys.

JayObey711,

Wait fuck. I fucked up. I majored physics in high school. I should know better

foobaz,

what? It’s 343 m/s which is 1234km/h.

EherVielleicht,

I love you guys.

JayObey711,

I’m sowwy. I never meant to hurt anyone. My only goal was to entertain and inspire.

In the atmosphere, sound travels at about 340 m/s, which is around 1200 km/h.

AFAIK the ThrustSSC is the only land vehicle to ever break the sound barrier, holding the land speed record since 1997.

EherVielleicht,

I love you guys.

JayObey711,

Jap I think I just had an aneurysm

Hawk,

In a similar situation, someone drove about 400km/hour (I think) I believe for a video.

Charges were pressed, but because he posted people at bridges and regular intervals to assess and communicate the situation, the judge decided he took reasonable precautions and the charges were dismissed.

Skaryon, in survival optional.

German here. We do have speed limits on highways. The portions without are often not that long so you rarely get a chance to go truly wild.

Regardless, the highest I usually go is like 180kmh and that doesn’t happen very often.

    Okay yes of course. I live in the south west. my primary autobahn is the A1 and holy fuck it’s always just a cluster fuck of Baustellen

    SoGrumpy,

    But you miss the point: BAB doesn’t mean BundesAutoBahn, it means Baustelle Am Baustelle.

    The roadworks all over nowadays is due to years of neglect in the 80s and 90s.

    Anything above the speed limit is illegal.

    Iron_Lynx,

    And in Germany, in many places, that speed limit is not a limit. This is the sign for speed limits you see when you enter Germany. Notice that the “130” is inside a blue square, instead of a red ring. That means the 130 kph speed is only a recommendation.

    Lalaz4,

    So it isn't a limit. That's great information to share but it does not nullify areas where the speed limit is indeed the speed limit

    @Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

    The Speedlimit on German Highways is only the one that is marked on traffic signs, if there are no signs, the limit is only what the car, traffic or common sense allows. It is also prohibited to go slower than 60 km/h on highways, if there is any reason for this, as it is also prohibited to go with vehicles that do not reach a minimum of 60 km/h. This, in view of the high speeds of others, is also logical.

    On the other hand, in general German drivers are quite disciplined and the police are very attentive to violators, high fines and a point system (with 15 points you can ride a bicycle), where there is a speed limit it is sure that it is controlled by radar and at rush hour there are even helicopters controlling traffic, also with patrol cars with civilian or police cars, all of them high-end (BMW, AUDI, Porsche).

    Those with 300 or more are mostly rich foreigners “Highway Tourists” who want to experience it with their supercars (Japanese, English, and others) because it is the only place where it is allowed.

    @Zerush@lemmy.ml avatar

    Although in Germany there is no express speed limit on the highways, the lines where you can go 300 or more are quite limited and it is only feasible on certain days, since heavy traffic during the week prevents it anyway. On most highways there is a speed limit and it is usually 120 or 130, and these indications come in a red circle and often with radar control. But if not… piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=7BWE2ftcF4Q

    Apparently atheists don’t understand the concept of forgiveness.

    Angry_Maple,
    @Angry_Maple@sh.itjust.works avatar

    What is forgiveness to you?

    To a lot of people, forgiveness comes when the person who did wrong feels regret over their actions. Not regret for the consequences, but regret for the harm that their actions caused.

    Tbh, if someone is hoping that just paying false lip service will guarantee then forgiveness from an all knowing being, I’ll wonder what exactly it is that they believe. An all knowing God would know whether you actually regret harming someone, or if you just regret not getting into heaven. Is there any chance you could explain that to me? I have seriously never understood why some religious people believe that they could fool an all knowing God.

    If that amount of sin is forgiven easily, I would argue that many of the harmless actions that current organized reliegon is against would also be forgiven.

    For non-Americans, Fort Wayne is very, very far from the ocean. Like a long distance, then over a huge mountain range and then another long distance.

    If it is a package from China it wouldnt change anything right?

    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    I would think that no matter where it’s coming from, falling into the ocean in Fort Wayne would be a neat trick.

    ILikeBoobies,

    Fort Wayne would be the last place it was checked before falling into the ocean

    Nindelofocho,

    clipped through the terrain and fell to the bottom of the map where the global water level is set at

    tryptaminev,

    Thats what happens when you cheap out on map designers and have one old guy do everything that grew up in a time before computers were a thing even. Oh and of course he is also the only guy programming and maintaining the engine, has to do all the character conception and management demands some immersive sandbox experience with particle physics down to quantum level.

    No wonder the updates just get shittier and shittier.

    oatscoop,

    Nah, they didn’t grow up before computers: they were programing mainframes in the 60s. Those programmers can write you an absolute masterpiece of software … in COBOL. Also, they don’t bother with documentation because they’re intimately familiar with every line of code considering they created the whole system from scratch 40 years ago.

    The point at when you’re “screwed” is when they retire and some poor bastard inherits an inscrutably complex system, written in a 60 year old language no one uses anymore, and with zero documentation.

    tryptaminev,
    jaybone,

    But does Fort Wayne just mean it’s the next checkpoint on the way to the destination?

    So could easily be some port on the west coast where the container fell off a ship?

    mindrover,

    Most likely but it’s funnier if you don’t think about that.

    jaybone,

    I’m no fun at parties.

    me neither, probs why I didnt get the joke in the first place

    FordBeeblebrox,

    Maybe they’re testing out hypersonic mail planes. You lose a box somewhere over Fort Wayne and you’re just goin so goddamn fast it doesn’t land till it hits the gulf

    figurys,

    Maybe someone can do the math how fast you would have to be going?

    grue,

    What mountains? There aren’t any mountains between Fort Wayne and Mobile, AL. (Or between it and Fort Albany, ON, for that matter)

    FlyingSquid,
    @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

    Congratulations, you got me. The Appalachians don’t go all the way across the entire North American continent. I apologize for daring to make such a suggestion.

    grue,

    To be fair, I initially wanted to comment about how clever you were because even most Americans would forget about the Ozarks being in the way, but then I checked a map and realized they were too far west.

    jaybone,

    I only see one location in OPs screenshot. How do we know where this is coming from or going to?

    grue,

    There are two locations: Fort Wayne, IN and an unspecified point in the ocean. Of the paths between Fort Wayne and an ocean, the ones people are most likely to think of (e.g. from the Atlantic or the Pacific) involve crossing mountains, but others (e.g. from the Gulf of Mexico or Hudson Bay) do not.

    jaybone,

    I guess I was not thinking of Hudson Bay as “the ocean” lol

    droans,

    But if it’s going to the ocean from Fort Wayne, it’ll have to go East.

    The Maumee River meets up with Lake Erie which eventually goes towards the Hudson Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

    Although I suppose that still doesn’t have to cross the mountain.

    octoperson,

    Thanks. This was useful context.
