if you get hit by a wall with infinite weight, moving at 1km/h, it has infinite energy, yet it will merely push you away

You have it backwards. Larger vehicles of course have more energy, but pedestrians are too light for that to make a difference.
If you get hit by an oil tanker ship going ~1 kmh, that ship has orders of magnitude more kinetic energy than a car at highway speed, yet, unless theres a wall or something, the ship will merely push you harmlessly aside.
Its about the manner of delivery, not the vehicles energy.
Larger cars are more dangerous because they hit you higher up, where you have more vital organs.


I agree, large cars are generally much more lethal to pedestrians, due to their shape, not kinetic energy.


Thats not how kinetic energy works, no pedestrian is heavy enough to stop any car, small or large.


eh, you know what, fair enough!


way to shift blame


oh wow I didn’t know that!
would make sense to give more a lot incentives for EV buying if so!


It is also chromium based, so stands to get the same nerf.


What would be better though?
I have my problems with mozilla, but between apple, google and mozilla, they absolutely win in my book.


a real life example? you mean like a photo of a person next to a router?


they never specified it to be scientific or rigorous.


This could have been amazing if integrated into a district heating network.

Yes, I can imagine. It’s done literally all the time, in every genre.


this sends a clear message though. No the old “just hook them, then we have guaranteed income forever” isn’t actually working. That’s great.


shoelaces can be a tangled mess yet not properly knotted


Entropy always increases.
There’s one way for a cable to be untangled, and an incalculable amount of ways for it to be tangled. When letting it randomly change state it is very improbable for it to randomly end up in the untangled state.
Same for shoelaces, there is but a few ways for the shoes to be properly knot, and a comparatively essentially infinite ways for them not to be.
I know it’s a joke, but I find this perspective fascinating.


but only if the platform is sufficiently large
hm, that sounds sensible actually


It’s a joke on fat Americans
no?
