i just went to a restaurant that serves hot dogs and they have. 3 foot long hot dogs. they’re so long that they take a whole briefcase looking box to carry. and someone left the restaurant with TWO OF THEM

[bananabytez]

what an actual specimen. Two 3 foot long hot dogs. I need to study him under a microscope

One of yours???

No we keep our airplanes outdoors. Freerange not barn raised.

Yeah I guess I’m obligated to say hiiiii. I fly airplanes. They’re so fucking safe it’s actually frustrating for us. I promise you that the administration who won’t even let hobby pilots fly for ten days after taking a Benadryl aren’t going to be letting commercial pilots do anything that will intentionally put you in danger.

The reason that flight times can be so different is mainly dependent on three things: the specific aircraft, the route, and the wind. I could go on tangents about all of these, but the point is that you can be flying the exact same plane on the exact same route at the exact same airspeed… and still get drastically different travel times due to the wind fucking with your ground speed.

(Ground speed = true air speed + wind component, if you care.)

And if you’re worried about pilots ramping that shit up to the maximum velocity… you would know if we did. Because we would have to point the nose down for the whole flight. The engines are already often operating at their maximum thrust any time you’re departing or ascending— but as my flight instructors have screamed at me since the day I started flying, “pitch for speed, power for altitude”. I’m not even sure you can hit the “never-exceed” velocities in a stable airplane without slamming the stick forward and nosediving that thang.

We also have this handy color coding on the air speed indicator! (And similar coding on the vertical tape versions in those newfangled glass cockpits.)

Lastly, almost every commercial flight is going to have two people up front. Even if the captain does something stupid, the first officer is there to say “hey, don’t do that” and make corrections accordingly. Even if they do agree to do something dumb, someone on the ground is going to tell them to cut it out. Nobody just gets to fuck around up there.

Flying is safe and fun. Mass transportation rules. Give me money so I can pay my Garmin Pilot subscription.

"Attention passengers, on your right you'll see a Cessna. Now if you'll just watch closely, if we can manage to get the Cessna's entire hitbox inside ours, we'll be able to damage-boost past the Colorado Rockies. This is a frame-perfect trick, so please note the "Fasten Seat Belts" light is on."

calling nonbinary people "they/thems" is the same as calling women "females." send post

[mx-macintosh]

"calling nonbinary people 'theys' is bad because not all nonbinary people use they/them" no it's bad because it's disrespectful and dehumanizing.

i'm tired of ppl always just assuming the word "blorbo" is describing a male character. no. blorbos can be women. i put HER in the microwave. hit HER with a comically large mallet. chew on HER. compare HER to a wet cat. put HER in a jar and shake it. dunk HER in milk and throw HER at the wall to hear the splat.

"I'm a straight guy so anything that gets my dick hardt is a girl" does have a certain philosophical elegance to it.
