  • I’ve seen this debate about the outcome of the moving portal. I’m pretty certain that because of inertia, and the people aren’t moving, they will just plop out the other side. Think of it like moving a hoola hoop through the people. That’s basically what the portal is.

    The hoola hoop has inertia and is moving, but it doesn’t actually come in contact with the people, so it passes right around them. There’s no way for the people to have instant acceleration because the porta did, otherwise it’d be like them hitting a brick wall and they would probably explode


  • As an American Engineer, the US measurement system disgusts me. The rest of the world uses SI, but my entire industry (and most of the US) uses the English system still and I absolutely hate it. Converting from ft to inches, or BTUs and tons, cubic feet, etc. Our lazy asses haven’t joined the rest of the world yet. I wish we would just force the change and get over it



  • Yeah it is pretty haunting

    Are you talking about the drop ride incident? Because after investigation it was discovered that the park modified the ride without involving the manufacturer to allow larger guests. That specific seat was modified and they put him in that seat because they made it for bigger people. However the ride was not designed for guests that size and it did not hold him properly.
