It’s from Watchmen. Definitely not for kids.
This is clearly nonsense. Besides the fact that 1000 mph wind is not possible, the earth and atmosphere are rotating at roughly the same speed.
Let me say it again, the earth and atmosphere are rotating at roughly the same speed. This is obvious.
The lack of basic education that some countries have on common physics concepts such as the rotation of the earth is shocking.
It’s as if they teach their school children nothing but abstract concepts for 13 years, and then send them out into the world without understanding how relative velocity works, or how electricity works, or how a computer works, or their nation’s laws and their rights as citizens and workers, or… anything, really.
For all that education, people seem to leave school completely unprepared for the real world. They are let down by the system. It’s sad to see.
I’m not judging you, but to offer another perspective to anyone reading this thread: I am a parent of two young children, and have never not returned a shopping cart. I take the kids with me when I return it.
As a parent, I realizes that it’s harder to do things with kids than without, but I go out of my way to not pass that burden onto others.
There are many ways our situations could be different that would make it harder for you to do this than me - your reasons are completely your business.
