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.
it’s 11.5 stone
That’s 70 millimiles obviously. How is that different to metric?
Sorry, am european. I know fuck all about imperial units.
Yeah decimal inches/miles/whatever is probably the worst crime of the system.
It does sound pretty impressive that each loop is 4,435.2 inches

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
that one trailertrash asshole ruining his lawn by parking his cars on it…
That’s an empty lot with construction equipment in it
That… is a very reasonable explanation lol
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.
Yeah that’s just MDMA.
Which they of course then banned because fun is not allowed
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
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 he changes direction every few laps because sidewalks have a slant to them.
Helps shape his feet for the next laps he’ll be running
No slant isn’t great either. If the sidewalk isn’t banked that run seems like torture.
He ran it 457.143 times

Let it die with Reddit

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
Oh right i forgot about backwardsland 😁
In a discussion referencing the imperial system “backwardsland” is another country :)
Wait, there are other countries?!

I really want to believe he was cosplaying as Superman trying to turn back time.
For that run. 45700x total.
OP is a subatomic particle in a physics lab.
I am Jack’s light speed hydrogen atom
OP is the probability cloud around the nucleus. Don’t poke him or you’ll collapse his wave function.
I hope this is him.
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.
I’m not so convinced that Pete and Pete was actually for kids.
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.
And he also flew off the track because he came into that bend too hot.
There was a pokemon
Maybe be thought about leaving the cul de sac for one loop. I imagine the madness would take hold at some point during this.
OOP could be a fully functional Artificial Intelligence in a video game and no one would notice.
Your use of “OOP” and “functional” threw me for a loop for a second, then I remembered this isn’t about programming. I should get some extra sleep tonight.
Did you say throw, loop, and sleep?
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 hope for this person that they switch direction every now and then. Constantly turning in the same direction doesn’t sound optimal
Just like NASCAR:
Go fast, turn left!
I wanna know his lap times and how long it took
Hey, that’s me as an 11-or-12-year old, I used to jog around the block in the old central section of town at night, my parents didn’t want me straying, there was an old park nearby with shady characters lurking there at night, and the old red light bar district was about three blocks away in the other direction.
