Damn, that's a fast ass-cheetah!
What with passenger planes like the one depicted typically going 575-600 mph and the bar only 3 times as long, that dude is sprinting at upto 200mph!
(Link is to classic xkcd comic, not furry porn)
Damn, you got my hopes up for a second there.
I am both disappointed and pleased.
Well if it's linear the cheeta is going somewhere around 100 million miles per hour. Air resistance would quickly make it a no-ass cheeta.
Log scaling?
Probably, but it's much more fun to imagine a cheetah hauling ass at the speed of a modern supercar 😂
Did you notice how it also mentions the speed of light?
The airplane is actually a spaceship that uses reaction mass to reach c/2.
That's just the FreePascal Compiler
