nnooneescapesthelaw replymander.xyzYour correct I didn't really think of mass and friction, good catch Now assume ideal snail3
MisterFrog replylemmy.worldI think metric is not your native system. 45 km/h is very very fast, like world record fast. A jog is more like 12 km/h https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usain_Bolt7

I love you
Most things don't scale linearly with size.
