Lightning speed downgrade

[Qawsedf234]

I recently stumbled upon this totally valid scientific source.

As such, lightning is only 1,100 feet per second rather than our incredibly highballed out of date numbers. This is, of course, a site wide policy change and effects hundreds of profiles at the very least.

Thoughts?

Marvel Comics was a mistake, and I hate every single consequence of it.

No no, this man has a point.

Let's hear him out.

Mfw a bullet train could keep up with lightning.

Who am I to disagree when such overwhelming citation has been provided?

around 0.97 Mach, that is assuming they meant 1100f/s and not 1.1f/s which is quite a highball

Yeah man there's no way lightning is over a fifth the speed of a cockroach

 

[Aguywhodoesthings]

Maybe they meant flies per second?

This reminds me of Superman being the posterboy for the trope of "Writers can't do math" in TV Tropes, yet was featured in the Calculations page on our site before until this was noticed, lmao.

Wait I thought that was there on purpose as a meme thing.

 

[Bobsican]

It wasn't : V

Time to downgrade like 25% of the site lol.

 

[WrongIdea21]

I Disagree for no reason

I thought so too.

 

[DMUA]

Even if it wasn't purposeful by the person who put it there first it was a very good meme
