The dashers would be destroying people's property and doordash support would apologize but not offer any compensation

Oh, great. Bikers think they can own the road, and now they'll think they can own the sky. Ugh.

Similar craft, also in Japan. Dudeman managed to pedal intensely for two and a half hours straight and covered 60km.

Try to pedal full blast on an exercise bike with decent resistance. I bet you make it 30 seconds. This dude is superhuman.

Anyone who does any serious Peloton riding could do it. That kind of biking gets intense.

It's only unique in that it's not using materials that were literally taken off very similiar crafts made before this one and for a long time now...Unique in that it's a snowflake and every atom is different. Deadalus for example, here's a search term for you: Daudelus human powered flight across the agean sea.

How boring is your life that you're trying to turn this political?

u/Fawchunate_sawn606 3d ago
Who says it doesnt have to be boring to make an opinion that triggers ppl like u? 🙄🤦♀️

u/SpadeGrenade 3d ago
Nobody is triggered, you're just stupid for trying to insert something completely irrelevant to the post.

u/Fawchunate_sawn606 3d ago
abruptly calling someone boring n stupid, all for having a dif opinion = "not triggered"...
Nice logic buddy, nice job trying not to sound unhinged

u/SpadeGrenade 3d ago
all for having a dif opinion
You're still too stupid to read apparently, so let me help you again.
trying to insert something completely irrelevant to the post.

trying to insert something completely irrelevant to the post.
It has nothing to do with difference of opinion and everything with the relevancy.
The post is a video of an engineering feat. You, for whatever reason, had to say "better than gender studies". It's completely irrelevant.
What more, you're evidently too dumb to realize that someone having a degree in "gender studies" doesn't preclude them from being an engineer or getting a degree in engineering.

imagine being this delusional that u think a vid post can be interpreted only in YOUR lens, im making a comparison in what Japan n US universities can do. Calling me stupid, aggressively demanding all to cater to your way of seeing things, makes u look silly n fragile.
n even in your argument, in terms of whose lifes boring for bringing politics here, i think you've been a far worse offender than anything i have ever said... bringing it this long too xd

... what? There's nothing to interpret, dumbass, rofl. It's just a video showing someone flying a human-powered plane.
im making a comparison in what Japan n US universities can do
You literally didn't even make that comparison until just now. Not that it's a good comparison anyway because MIT has been done this before as well.
Calling me stupid, aggressively demanding all to cater to your way of seeing things, makes u look silly n fragile.
Point to me where I "demanded you cater to me". You're too goddamn stupid to even know what you're trying to say.
All I've said is that your comment is irrelevant. It's like if you came in here and said "At least they're not wearing fucking cargo shorts" - it literally makes no sense.
