it’s 11.5 stone
Equivalent to 14 winter parsnips. If we want to get accurate about it.
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
That’s 70 millimiles obviously. How is that different to metric?
Sorry, am european. I know fuck all about imperial units.
Easy. You open https://einheiten.quadrivium.de/ go with distance 0.07 miles and you see its 3.8 blue whales…
0.07 Landmeile = 1.4 Megapapierdicke
He ran it 457.143 times
c/theydidthemath
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?!

Bobby Pickett
I really want to believe he was cosplaying as Superman trying to turn back time.
For that run. 45700x total.
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.
GPS inaccuracies.
Shhh!
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
Most exciting run in the state
I was honestly surprised to see that it was in ND. Now I’m wondering if the screenshot is of the person I’m thinking of…
Ed, Edd, and Eddy
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
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.
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 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.
What year is it?!
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.
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.
I wanna know his lap times and how long it took

I like to think the road leading into the cul-de-sac is accurate in size and his paths varied by about three road-widths and he was running through people’s yards at times.
(The truth is probably that the app doesn’t draw over previous paths so 450 laps equals 450 lines side-by-side)
Also: civilian GPS is not super accurate. Or maybe our runner got board and started hopping fences Ferris Bueller style?
The app devs didn’t expect this kind of problem, haha.
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)
