  • Eh, keeping car traffic smooth is way more challenging than keeping pedestrian traffic smooth. Also people tend to be more chaotic in there direction than cars. If a car stops in front of you you’re sorta stuck if a human stops in front of you you can always bash him in the head with a bar stool or go around or whatever.

    I know it was auto manufacturers lobbying for the law but can you imagine people just randomly darting across an interstate moving at 80+ mph? I can because I have seen it before and not once have I thought wow I sure am glad that’s legal.

    If, I have learned anything from YouTube it’s that if a multi trillion dollar international mega conglomerate doesn’t want you to have it, no matter how impossible it may seem they can stop you from getting it they just need enough market incentives.

    This could just be one small step in a much larger plan or it could be placating the United States government whose to say.







  • Traveling at the fastest speeds possible it would take 2,537,000,000 years to get from here to the andromeda galaxy if StarWars was live streamed from the Milky Way Galaxy we still wouldn’t see it for approximately 2,537,000,000 years, since we have seen it, it must have taken place around the same time as in the late Pliocene epoch, the only people around to watch it would be our pre human ancestors Woolly mammoth’s and sabertooth tigers.

    BUT WAIT! I hear you say Han Solo could travel faster than light, That’s right he could go 0.5 past the speed of light In other words it would take Han 1.69 Million years, changing nothing accept maybe a bit more ice.

    But wait you say desperately Han wasn’t using normal measurements thanks to retconning, This is true in later (Technically non canon now) supplementary work the speed ships travel was deliberately obfuscated and changed to the point of magic but let’s do the math anyway, from 1930 to 2024 is 94 years in order to travel 2,537,000,000 light years you would have to travel 27 million times the speed of light, now let’s talk about how that kind of speed would shatter canon so badly that it can’t be accurate. Actually let’s not because it’s currently 3am and I’m tired but needless to say it breaks everything.
