the NB Dr. Who iteration is kind of weird.

SirDankbud, in Its diving speed during flight is more than 300 km (186 miles) per hour, making it not only the world’s fastest bird but also the world’s fastest animal.

Well since they can’t reach that speed without being in the air, technically they’re the fastest animals OFF Earth.

DragonTypeWyvern,

Planets are typically understood to include the atmosphere.

You wouldn’t look at Jupiter and say, “well it’s not really that big, there’s just a bunch of a clouds in the way,” right?

So the peregrines are on Earth, but not on earth.

SirDankbud,

Sorry, didn’t realize I needed a /s for something so clearly sarcastic

DragonTypeWyvern, (edited )

If you knew the difference between Earth and earth your joke just sucked.

Anticorp,

I wish we could see the center of Jupiter. Is there any land down there?

DragonTypeWyvern,

The Juno mission says “probably, but whatever is going on is weird af” and the current explanations are way above my head.

I think they still mostly assume there’s a rocky core, somewhere.

Anticorp,

I wonder what magnitude of pressure exists on the surface, if there is such thing. It must be molten from the extreme pressure and gravity. Right?

Have you seen supercritical water and/or helium? The “surface” of Jupiter is probably supercritical hydrogen. I don’t know if there’s a sharp cutoff like Earth’s oceans or a gradual thickening, but it’s still only half the density of water. It’s possible to build a boat for that!

However, the pressure would be around half a million bar, or 500 times the pressure of the deepest part of the ocean. This is also 5× the pressure used to make synthetic diamods too, and probably about the same temperature too. If the boat had any grease left outside, it would be diamond grease at this point.

If you went further down to where the density increases to about the same as water at sea level, the pressure would quadruple to nearly the same as Earth’s core, and the temperature would be about the same too. At this pressure, there’s probably another indistinct boundary of metallic hydrogen, and if the boat has survived the ultra-high-pressure hydrogen embrittlement, the steel-liquifying temperatures, and diamond rain, this metallic hydrogen will almost certainly reduce it to a lump of novel metal hydrides.

Anticorp,

Thanks for the response! That was very helpful.

Actually it’s quite nice. My wife and I vacation there in the spring.

Hayduke, in Its diving speed during flight is more than 300 km (186 miles) per hour, making it not only the world’s fastest bird but also the world’s fastest animal.

I’m sorry. That answer wasn’t in the form of a question.

I hate that. In France we have Question Pour Un Champion (questions for a winner) where the host gives a definition and ends with “I am…” and the contestant would say “a cheetah”

SpaceNoodle, (edited )

Nobody cares about France

Edit: downvotes from Frenchies mad that they still haven’t come up with their own word for Internet

sigmaklimgrindset,

Are we bringing that “x country hate lol random” thing from Twitter/Reddit to Lemmy? I’m kind of over that.

Unless ofc you’re from the former French Colonial Empire. Then hate the French as much or as little as you want, you probably have your reasons.

SpaceNoodle,

You don’t seem to be over that strawman you’ve built.

devbo, in Its diving speed during flight is more than 300 km (186 miles) per hour, making it not only the world’s fastest bird but also the world’s fastest animal.

falling is cheating.

leftzero, (edited )

Seriously, I’m sure we could find some shark with a faster terminal speed if dropped from high enough…

Pirasp,

The real trick is that these Falcons exceed their terminal velocity in those dives. So not just falling but falling with added power and a hell of a lot of style!

Djinn,

It’s not flying, it’s falling with style.

ThePyroPython, (edited ) in Its diving speed during flight is more than 300 km (186 miles) per hour, making it not only the world’s fastest bird but also the world’s fastest animal.

Fuck you, the Peregrine Falcon is awesome, it is best bird, fight me.

I will not have my boy be slandered like this.

SpaceNoodle,

It’s only “fast” because it’s just falling.

ThePyroPython,

Ok buddy, let’s see you pull out of a terminal velocity (180mph) head first dive.

As any pilot will tell you; if you manage to pull out of a dive it’s not falling out of the sky, it’s aerobatics.

Ontop of this, it’s catching prey in it’s talons, let’s see you try and grab anything when traveling at 180mph in any direction.

SpaceNoodle,

I’ve ridden in an airplane before, it’s not difficult.

wildginger,

Bet you coulda outran pompeiis lava flows too

SpaceNoodle,

In an airplane? Probably.

dependencyinjection,

I’ll fight you. My man the crow will mess up your stupid falcon.

CluckN,

That’s clearly a jackdaw

Cqrd,

Oh God

Anticorp,

They will too! My neighborhood murder is enormous, and they keep the airspace clear of bald eagles. If an eagle ever dares enter our neighborhood, the crows flock out of the trees by the hundreds and chase that motherfucker off, cawing all the way. When they’re done, they all return to the trees and caw for a good half hour afterwards. My guess is they’re talking about how bad ass they are.

I’ll let my B&G macaws fight for me. However I do think the Peregrine is the best raptor in the world.

RIP_Cheems,
@RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world avatar

Isn’t this also the bird that picked up its prey and drops them from a great height to kill them since it can’t kill with its claws?

Dabundis,

Even better. It curls its feet into fists and dive bombs with a 240mph punch to stun its prey, then casually walks up to finish the job with its beak.

It kills with the real life Falcon Punch

MashedTech, in When an eel has a maw with a phyrangeal jaw, that's a moray!

It’s not going to give a good blowjob.

Ah yes, all natural phenomena including checks notes the one where someone cut down a tree with a saw

Maybe someone cut down that mountain with a really big saw?

sicarius, (edited ) in Its diving speed during flight is more than 300 km (186 miles) per hour, making it not only the world’s fastest bird but also the world’s fastest animal.

In that case Felix Baumgartner is the fastest human being.
With a top speed of 843.6 mike’s per hour.
Ussain Bolt and suck it.
Edit: if the autocorrect mistake is funny, just leave tit as tit is.

Denvil,

Erm ACTually, assuming Mike is 6ft tall, thats only 5000 ish ft per hour, less than 1 mph. That’s slower than Ussain Bolt!!
