    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.

      it’s 11.5 stone

        Equivalent to 14 winter parsnips. If we want to get accurate about it.

      Yeah decimal inches/miles/whatever is probably the worst crime of the system.

      source
    • prowess2956@kbin.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      It does sound pretty impress that each loop is 4,435.2 inches

    • lauha@lemmy.one ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      That’s 70 millimiles obviously. How is that different to metric?

      Sorry, am european. I know fuck all about imperial units.

      Easy. You open einheiten.quadrivium.de go with distance 0.7 miles and you see its 3.5 Eifeltowers.

        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

    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.

    source
    • Chocrates@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨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.

        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.

    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.

        I’m not so convinced that Pete and Pete was actually for kids.

        Woahhh, I never realized Kahn and Cotton were the same voice actor. Makes their friendship a little more interesting.

    I hope he changes direction every lap because sidewalks have a slant to them.

    source
    • Linkerbaan@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Helps shape his feet for the next laps he’ll be running

      source
    • Kolrami@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨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)

    source
  • RattlerSix@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨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)

    source
    • dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Also: civilian GPS is not super accurate. Or maybe our runner got board and started hopping fences Ferris Bueller style?

    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.
