[@Pastronomer69]

I'm not a mathematician, but using the equation around 1:40, and using the speed of an aircraft around 500mph, we can work out the speed of the bowling pin to be around -0.0959079mph

[@subatomiccc300]

if no one uses the lane for a week then they have to move the bowling pins back a few inches

[@kennethwest780]

I came up with ~5

[@Pining_for_the_fjords]

Why? Do the pins naturally creep forward by themselves?

[@fartsmella40000]

Conway79 yea

[@mycelium9629]

I think we used different cannon speeds. I accounted for the fact that a basketball is 30 times lighter than a cannonball, and would get fired 30 times faster if it didn't pop. Therefore, I ended up with -0.0084269663

A plane actually is basically a really good car. This is a true fact. I was informed and entertained at the same time.

[@Fluxquark]

That fact alert at 02:11 was a little bit too real

[@neverever719]

I've been taking the God's Lang II classes up at the local community college, and "Skarlam" (one of its aprox. in the Latin alphabet) is quite versatile, actually. Putting the "-istus" verbifier on the end means "to stuff luggage in the overhead compartment." Finding this link between the two words was what lead the first Plane Builders to make the overhead compartment system in the first place. This is actually just one of many ways that God's Language has helped human engineering.

[@Atollic]

This is extremely underrated, so many people today dont know Gods language. Skleeboor!

[@sergeantsilly5239]

"the army has airplanes to transport pianos and blow up hospitals in middle east" This is actually pretty accurate

[@tylerknight99]

The learn attack format is such a good parody of scishow, vsauce, etc, and the aspects where youtube 'educators' have failed. From the unrelatable hooks, to the awkward attempt to cover the entirety of a subject in a couple minutes, to the borderline inhuman mannerisms of the hosts, to the attempts to sell their trustworthiness by appealing to a quote from someone with more authority than them; it all ties up into that peppy voice that is unreasonably and uncomfortably excited about the idea of science.

So how do birds fly and stay in the air, since they don't have luggage compartments for people to push on?

[@collidingspectrum1616]

Just like poison dart frogs getting their toxicity from their diets, birds prey on balloons.

Are these giant metal birds hostile? What do they eat? Where did they come from? These questions where not addressed, and frankly I don't think these facts are very true. I don't think these spurious claims are beneficial to society.

[@AvoytDesign]

So, assuming: g = golf ball = 10 mph b = basketball = 80 mph (the top running speed of a cheetah) j = jump rope = 350 mph (the best average I could find of an object being fired from a cannon) p = pin a = speed of an airplane in mph you get a = (6*80*350) / (100 - 80/p) a = 168000 / (100 - 80/p) a = (168000*p) / (100*p - 80) a = (8400*p) / (5*p - 4) Assuming the pin is stationary, this becomes a = (8400*0) / (5*0 - 4) a = 0 / -4 a = -0 Therefore, airplanes don't move; the world moves around them. Airplanes are truly magical.

You got me wondering what the word for airplane in Enochian is

[@ya9thelatinogringo]

🏀 = 70 mph 3 (🏀) = 210 mph Jump Rope (no emoji available) = approx. 220 mph 2 (Jump Rope) = 440 mph 3 (🏀) * 2 (Jump Rope) = 92,400 mph (lets not get into mph squared) 92400 = postal code of Courbervoie, Paris, France 🏌 = 10 mph 🏌^2 = 100 Mph 🎳 = ? (looks like we have to find this out now) Commercial Plane speed = 575 mph 92,400 mph / 575 mph = 160 mph 🏌^2 - (🏀/🎳) = 160 mph 100 mph - (70 mph /🎳) =160 mph -100 mph -100 mph - (70 mph /🎳) = 60 mph (70 mph /🎳) = -60 mph /70 mph /70 mph 🎳 = -1.16666666667 mph

3(70) x 2(671) / 100 - 70/y

[@sheriffrust]

Started out strong

[@Trash_Boat007]

For the equation he used I got an answer of something on the lines of less than or equal to 821.2 mph. It is less than or equal due to the bowling pin variable being an unknown. I could solve it as you would solve for X but I’m to lazy

[@Trash_Boat007]

My equation was (3(74.6)x2(46.6))/(10^2)-(74.6-X). Where X is Greater than, or equal to 1.
