Have you seen the elementary school experiment where you spin an egg on a flat surface, then you stop the egg and let it go and the then the egg starts spinning again?
If the earth suddenly stopped spinning, the atmosphere would still be spinning at 1700km/h.
A cat 5 hurricane has wind speeds of 253km/h. So we’d be boned.
Not quite. When you’re rotating, you are constantly accelerating in a tangent direction to the diameter. So the poster is right that we should be feeling a force shooting us away from the center of earth.
Except the force of gravity cancels out the centripetal force and then some.
So [force of gravity] - [centripetal force of Earth’s rotation] = 9.8m/s^2
Yep, and unfortunately a lot of fascists on Reddit.
I do like how whenever a conservative Lemmy pops up, it has more trolls than users and the mods abandon it within a few weeks.
Aww does the wittle baby not want to die of mawaria?
Here I am watching scrambled Sex and the City, wondering when it will get to the good part.
Lol yes real peanuts. I wouldn’t wish the orange foam on my worst enemies.
Eat it with a handful of peanuts. Goes from awful to awesome.
Yep, the reason so many trumpers were shocked that Biden won.
I’m on your side. Great B movie.
What didn’t you like? I remember having a few issues here and there but otherwise being entertained.
IDK if I missed something or I just disagree, but I remember all but maybe one short story ending up with the laws working as intended (though unexpectedly) and humanity being better as a result.
Didn’t they end with humanity being controlled by a hyper-intelligent benevolent dictator, which ensured humans were happy and on a good path?
It was a valiant effort and you had fun tweaking your slice.
But if you succeed at step one, what’s the point of step two?
So you’d rather sit on wet toilet paper than a wet seat?
What a fucking boss.
Is this the result of the “being far is healthy” post from yesterday?
But if he’s really good at roleplaying, he’ll just subtly try to steer the party clear of it.
Dwarves instinctively get the fuck away from dragon eggs.
Just don’t ask him who he thinks is behind the conspiracy😬
Everyone ignores the lizard people until they can no longer be ignored 🦎🦎
It sounded like the guy meant the 1700km/h is a velocity, not an acceleration, which is why we don’t feel the force of acceleration.
I was pointing out that spinning is acceleration, just in this case we can’t feel it due to other forces.
