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
postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I really want to believe he was cosplaying as Superman trying to turn back time.
some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months ago
For that run. 45700x total.
zakobjoa@lemmy.world 11 months ago
And he also flew off the track because he came into that bend too hot.

Maybe be thought about leaving the cul de sac for one loop. I imagine the madness would take hold at some point during this.

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.
Chocrates@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think you are thinking of PPAR-δ agonists, it’s not about making exercise fun though. More like exercise in a pill. It worked, but gave the rats tumours I believe. People use it anyway, which seems a bit risky.

Most exciting run in the state

I was honestly surprised to see that it was in ND. Now I’m wondering if the screenshot is of the person I’m thinking of…

Damn all that ugly ass driveway space and that one trailertrash asshole ruining his lawn by parking his cars on it… Wonder if it’s the same insane loop guy

OP is the probability cloud around the nucleus. Don’t poke him or you’ll collapse his wave function.

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.
gerryflap@feddit.nl 11 months ago
I hope for this person that they switch direction every now and then. Constantly turning in the same direction doesn’t sound optimal

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.
sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I’m not so convinced that Pete and Pete was actually for kids.
Syd@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Woahhh, I never realized Kahn and Cotton were the same voice actor. Makes their friendship a little more interesting.
bigkahuna1986@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
What year is it?!
FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 11 months ago
I hope he changes direction every lap because sidewalks have a slant to them.
Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Helps shape his feet for the next laps he’ll be running
Kolrami@lemmy.world 11 months ago
No slant isn’t great either. If the sidewalk isn’t banked that run seems like torture.

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)
RattlerSix@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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)
dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Also: civilian GPS is not super accurate. Or maybe our runner got board and started hopping fences Ferris Bueller style?
The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The app devs didn’t expect this kind of problem, haha.

OOP could be a fully functional Artificial Intelligence in a video game and no one would notice.
ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.
jxk@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Did you say throw, loop, and sleep?
Rolando@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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.

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.

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.
suction@lemmy.world 11 months ago
it’s 11.5 stone
makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
Equivalent to 14 winter parsnips. If we want to get accurate about it.
hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Yeah decimal inches/miles/whatever is probably the worst crime of the system.
prowess2956@kbin.social 11 months ago
It does sound pretty impress that each loop is 4,435.2 inches
lauha@lemmy.one 11 months ago
That’s 70 millimiles obviously. How is that different to metric?
