    I’m trying to apply the most simple math possible and it seems to add up.

    After one second, their distance is √(5² + 1²) = ~5.1 ft

    After two seconds, their distance is √(10² + 2²) = ~10.2 ft

    After three seconds, it’s √(15² + 3²) = ~15.3 ft

    As speed is the rate of change of distance over time, you can see it’s a constant 5.1 ft/s. You’re free to point out any error, but I don’t think you need anything more than Pythagoras’ theorem.

    The question specifically asks for their seperation speed at 5s to ignore any initial change in their speed as they first need to accelerate, I’d assume.

    It’s been a while, but I think it’s quite trivial.

    After one second, they span a right angled triangle, therefore (using a² + b² = c²) their distance is √(5²+1²) = ~5.1 ft

    They move at constant speed, therefore they seperate at 5.1 ft/s. That means at 5s it’s just 5.1 × 5 = 25.5 ft for the distance and their speed is still the same.











  • Since OP won’t tell, there are a few things I came across years ago:

    • naked yoga, there used to be lots and lots of porn-but-not-porn on youtube

    • real autopsy videos - you could easily find them when looking for anatomy videos, the most memorable one being done by a german crazy-looking guy wearing a hat while doing an autopsy on stage

    There are others, but they were just plain illegal.

    Like, you know, some people fucking can’t. […] ableist and exclusionary assumptions […]

    And i quote myself: “I’m not saying that everyone can do that and certainly not on every trip, […]”.

    I guarantee you consume significantly more oil than I ever could.

    First you judge me for making assumptions and projections, then you make assumptions about me. I work from home. I don’t have a drivers license and neither does my girlfriend. I don’t go on vacations, I rather stay at home. I’ve only ever boarded a plane three times, all of them work related. I don’t even order stuff online, expect for my girlfriend. And just for good measure, I’m vegan too! For the most part, I could only reduce my CO2 further by dying.

    But enough of the dick measuring contest. I don’t care for you personally, we’re talking about the average person here. It just was funny to address you personally to throw back your needlessly added “head in your ass” insult.

    And you know what, if you disappeared tomorrow and didn’t even use any of that oil - that still wouldn’t solve a fucking thing (in terms of oil production that is, otherwise if that happened it’d definitely be a more pleasant world lmfao).

    Personal insult, that’s always the sign of someone being right! Like, your post is littered with that stuff. Maybe take a few deep breaths or something.

    [the fucking rest of your post]

    You keep on blaming the companies here and I mean, that’s not wrong. They are destroying the world with no regard for anything but wealth. But let me introduce to a concept so advanced, it’s taught in 5th grade or something: Supply and demand. Shell destroys the environment to by extracting and selling oil. If no one buys oil, they stop. It’s not profitable anymore. “But nuh-uh” I hear you say, “other companies use more oil than we do!”. And I’m sure they do it for funsies too! It’s not like, e.g. logistic companies use that shit to deliver stuff to you or anything. Once again, something we could reduce by ordering less as a whole. There is not a single company that could keep on doing their thing if its customer base would crumble away. “But it’s impossible to be perfect” and therefore not worth trying, eh? Just keep on shaking your fist at clouds, old man.

    If the demand for ecological solutions would grow, companies would become more ecological simply because that’s where the money is. Companies and even whole industries that used to be big die all the time, often supplemented by some “Millennials killed X!” articles. They are not some form of omnipotent force, if enough individuals decide against supporting them, they die. It’s just that not enough people care and you actively tell them to not care. Even if you’re right and individual actions do mostly nothing, once enough individuals actively try to fix the problem some are bound to be CEOs, shareholders, politicians and lobbyists. We just need to hit critical mass for people that care.



  • Great suggestion, I can help you pull! After your head is free, maybe consider life style changes like, you know, using your legs instead of a car. Or a bike. I’m not saying that everyone can do that and certainly not on every trip, but I’m definitely saying that a lot of people drive their cars around without needing to. Not to mention the amount of people driving around in cars that are way too large and way too heavy.

    Oh, but wait, those are obviously unrealistic alternatives and even if they weren’t, Shell executives would come over personally and break your legs. How could I forget - silly me.

    That’s so very sad, especially because Shell just does it for fun. If, at the very least, there would be some kind of product we could reduce demand for to stop Shell from being so bad. But alas, we can only blame them and never challange our own behaviour - since you know, no one single person ever made any difference at all.

    Really unsure about the symbolism here. Didn’t Jesus die on the cross for our sins to be forgiven or something along those lines? So this kinda implies the abused children die to give forgivness to the people they are nailed to here…

    Please correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve never been to a church and neither has anyone I know.
