No no, once the space shuttle is in space, everything goes around it. It’s stationary.

(holds paper, marks 2 holes. folds it to touch holes (giggity), punches pencil through it)
see?
Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
I was thinking more Planet Express Ship and not Event Horizon, but good enough.

Nope. Definitely not high enough to understand this.

Okay… continue

Shit, I’ve seen a manhole cover go faster than that, doing back flips the whole time.
peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
You saw it? Cause I read about it, but iirc they didn’t videos. I could be wrong on the video thing, and obvs people where there to see it. But… where you one of the people there to see it?
ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Iirc the “videos” got like 2 frames of the manhole cover because of how fast it was flying

Reading this legend never gets old. 😂

To be fair, if someone believes in a flat earth, they probably also believe in an infinite atmosphere….
crawancon@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Ah yes, bullshit assymetry principle.
Humans can’t possibly refute and explain away the position of all the absolute stupid shit that other humans spew out of their mouths like unadulterated garbage.
the problem seems to be…
we can’t seem to fix stupid.
or it’s just too profitable of a system to let die.
adespoton@lemmy.ca 3 months ago
The problem is that stupid is an individual attribute. Natural selection doesn’t seem to care about it in the short term.
Rakonat@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Good luck explaining infinite atmosphere would mean infinite gravity and we’d be crushed into a black hole.
But yeah, sure. Earth is the flat object in the observable universe and NASA totally has the power and budget to make possible test you can do to prove otherwise wrong.
Bertuccio@lemmy.world 3 months ago
They believe in a dome. Flat Earthers are almost all creationists dressing up as independent thinkers.
They believe in the cosmology described in Genesis: …wikipedia.org/…/Ancient_near_eastern_cosmology

Although I’ve got used to converting feet to meters quickly in my head, I simply can’t convert miles to kilometers easily
Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 months ago
And here we can see an example of resistance. You see? When the people do not resist, the burgeroisie can do backflips as fast as they want. But when there is resistance, not so easy, eh?
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Wait, dumb question. I’m a vacuum can I go as fast as I want. Like as long as acceleration is cool. Is there technically no downside to increasing speed. Just like we’re technically on a planet spinning fast. If I was in a ship in a total vaccumu and it accelerated at a pace that I could handle, could that ship go faster and faster like a bajillion km a sec and I would just be like sitting there enjoying the ride.
Wilzax@lemmy.world 3 months ago
From your perspective, eventually things don’t move faster by a noticeable amount, but the length of objects starts to shorten, so you can pass much more stuff at a slightly faster speed. You will never see anything move faster than light, it just shortens itself into a 2d object with 0 depth as it approaches the speed of light.
So not a bajillion km a sec, just 300,000 km/sec
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 3 months ago
But then there is no limit to how fast we could move? Like there is no speed our heads would explode. There’s no side effect of speed I guess is what I’m asking. Like 2x speed of light would be no different to us the 5km an hour only thing would stuff external to us like the length of things gets shorter. I get in atmosphere we’d be shredded. But technically we can just go.
Bytemeister@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Technically, you can do this in the air too. The air just needs to be moving at the same speed you are.

Dafuq’s a speeding bullet???
snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
A bullet that is not at rest relative to the point where an external force has acted upon it.
BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 3 months ago
So it can get a speeding ticket?
Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 3 months ago
It probably can since there is very little friction up there
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Orbital.
