I’m thinking entirely too hard for a meme about the aerodynamics of a pokemon, but there’s no way that a literal Bulbasaur can beat an actual car, right?
Peak performance

Bulbasaur has curves, jeep is a series of boxes. So very possibly bulbasaur wins.
frezik@midwest.social 6 months ago
Series of boxes built around the same basic shape as a WWII vehicle, only bigger.
Ephera@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
Bulbasaur even has a sweet spoiler for that extra traction.
FireRetardant@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Well to win, the jeep would have to be running, so most would be disqualified before the match even starts. If the ref is feeling nice they can allow up to 3 attempts to start the jeep.

What if Bulbasaur was wearing heelys?
mkwt@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It’s not clear if they properly matched the Reynolds numbers and other similarity parameters to properly make this comparison.
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
to be fair, the jeep is a car, and not a particularly aerodynamic one, and one that can go much much faster than a pokemon ever could conceive of so.

i’m no fan of jeeps, but no one’s buying them for speed
Ephera@lemmy.ml 6 months ago
I mean, no, but people do still drive them on highways, so the mildest resemblance of fuel efficiency would be nice.

Tell that to the people driving the dirt road outside my neighborhood.
Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
You’re understanding how fast that road can be driven by a vehicle made to go fast on dirt roads!

Don’t often see Jeep Wranglers in my neck of the woods, but they’re invariably driven by hairdressers and gay bar owners in my country

That’s pretty weird honestly

If you don’t mind, what counrtry?

For aerodynamics, aren’t most cars are facing the wrong way?
The ideal is something like a reverse wedge, if I remember correctly
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
you mean to tell me a large vehicle is less aerodynamic than a small animal that doesnt exist?
fascinating.
kurwa@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Well the shape exists, and I don’t think the size matters in aerodynamics? I’m not sure.
KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
the size doesnt matter for aerodynamics, generally, but it matters for physics.
Drag is a square or cube scaling, i forget which, so at higher speeds it increases disproportionately.
A larger object has more air to move out of the way, which means more drag. It’s more capable of moving that air with it’s increased volume. But then you also start running into volume to surface area scaling issues. Elephants are really slow for a reason, and it’s the same reason small animals are comparatively fast.

Whoa, that low-pressure butt area can such the poop right out of that monster.

Jeeps are not a go fast vehicle… there’s a thing called death wobble.
hash@slrpnk.net 6 months ago
Death wobble is truly terrifying. Seriously do not let a new driver behind the wheel of anything with a solid front axle.
petey@aussie.zone 6 months ago
My 2001 Landcruiser with over 1,000,000 kms on the clock had a solid front axle and never did anything like a death wobble. For that matter, nor did our ‘96 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Maybe the longer wheelbase helped

Mostly happens when bushings are worn out
