See this is the superiority of the metric system. You say a 0.112 km loop and you know that's a 112 m loop. Say 0.07 miles and thefuckisthatonanyotherscale.
That's 70 millimiles obviously. How is that different to metric?
Sorry, am european. I know fuck all about imperial units.
Easy. You open https://einheiten.quadrivium.de/ go with distance 0.07 miles and you see its 3.8 blue whales..
I don't think they did it right. A) because he said he ran 32 miles on that loop or 451 and a bit loops and B) I think even if he ran all 3200 miles that year, OP is off by a factor of 10
Dear fellow anarchist,
32 / 0.07 = 457.142857

EDIT: dammit, i am from germany and , is here the decimal point . i copied it from the app, gonna correct it
Maybe be thought about leaving the cul de sac for one loop. I imagine the madness would take hold at some point during this.
If a mouse did this in study, we would euthanize it from mercy. I don't even know if the first meth mice were this obsessive compulsive.
That's not true. They have put mouse exercise wheels in the wild and mice use them for fun. Mice love to run.
There was actually an interesting "exercise drug" line of research seeing if they could make a pharmaceutical that would make exercise fun. Wonder if that went anywhere.
I think you are thinking of PPAR-δ agonists, it's not about making exercise fun though. More like exercise in a pill. It worked, but gave the rats tumours I believe. People use it anyway, which seems a bit risky.
Yeah I know about that one! But in that same article (assuming we are thinking about the same one) they interviewed another scientist working on the other kind of drug.
Last I checked a less tumour inducing version of the drug was going into phase 1 clinical trials for muscular dystrophyin the last year or so
Good, it's an exciting area of research. Don't know about any article, I just happen to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of PEDs. I'd definitely be interested to hear about the other thing.
I would personally love an exercise pill. I have pretty severe depression so getting into an exercise routine is a huge struggle. If I could take some medication that helped I would be so happy.
I live in Brooklyn, if a dude circled my block like this someone would def call the cops on him
I was honestly surprised to see that it was in ND. Now I’m wondering if the screenshot is of the person I’m thinking of…
Damn all that ugly ass driveway space and that one trailertrash asshole ruining his lawn by parking his cars on it... Wonder if it's the same insane loop guy
OP is the probability cloud around the nucleus. Don't poke him or you'll collapse his wave function.
This guy and the guy who has been running through my neighborhood at night with glow sticks taped to his body would be great friends I feel.
I hope for this person that they switch direction every now and then. Constantly turning in the same direction doesn't sound optimal
Pete and Pete was, in my opinion, the absolute pinnacle of what could be done in a show for kids.
Meanwhile, Toby Huss in the picture up there went on to be in Halt and Catch Fire and was the voices of Kahn and Cotton on King of the Hill. Talented dude apart from being the strongest man in the world.

Woahhh, I never realized Kahn and Cotton were the same voice actor. Makes their friendship a little more interesting.
Reminds me of this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Transcendence_3100_Mile_Race
This race, which lasts several weeks, is hosted by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team and takes place every summer in Queens, New York City. The course is 3,100 miles (4,989 km) long. Runners negotiate 5,649 laps of one extended city block in Jamaica, Queens, bounded by 164th Place, Abigail Adams (84th) Avenue, 168th Street, and the Grand Central Parkway — a distance of 0.5488 miles (883 m) — while the streets are in normal use.[2] The runners have 52 days to complete the distance, running from 6 a.m. to midnight, an average of 59.62 miles (95.95 km) every day. The prize is typically a T-shirt, a DVD, or a small trophy.[3]
This would be a life goal of mine if they could guarantee I wasn't going to get a damn DVD.

I’m choosing to imagine he’s running a very very very slightly larger circle each time, getting closer and closer to his neighbours as he goes - instead of it being the precision of the sat nav (and the larger circles only being noticed over a matter of weeks)
I like to think the road leading into the cul-de-sac is accurate in size and his paths varied by about three road-widths and he was running through people's yards at times.
(The truth is probably that the app doesn't draw over previous paths so 450 laps equals 450 lines side-by-side)
Also: civilian GPS is not super accurate. Or maybe our runner got board and started hopping fences Ferris Bueller style?
The Flash briefly appears in [the alternate universe story] Kingdom Come when the book is establishing its world's status quo. Described as living "between the ticks of a second," the Scarlet Speedster has turned his home of Keystone City into a crime-free paradise. He'd pushed himself so hard and gotten so fast that he was effectively omnipresent and could easily stop any disturbance before it began. However, in the process, Wally West had stopped slowing down to do human things like talk to people or sleep.

...is it a repost? I scrolled back a bit and didn't see it.
(edit: oh wait, did you mean the original original post, like he's stuck in a fish bowl?)
I don't think so, this is the first time I'm seeing it
Edit: yes I was talking about the person going around in circles like a goldfish in a bowl lol
