      That by itself means nothing to me.

      What made me realize. How fast that is, is that it’s halfway to the top speed of a veyron SS

        Silly @Frog@Lemmy.ca

        They forgot that US highway speed units are measured as a ratio of a veyron SS’s top speed. For those that don’t know, that’s 7.37 billion bald eagle wingspans per presidential term.

      When translated to American, it’s honestly not that impressive anymore. 🤷
