It’s partially your height. Naturally lower center of gravity means naturally better stability, plus the less you have to lower yourself to get a lifting grip on something the less effort int takes to get the thing and yourself back up.

To 1, your “example” is a bad faith gotcha based on an insane hypothetical. It does absolutely nothing to prove my argument wrong that everyone would be safer is speeders slowed down to a reasonable speed.
For 2, nearly all highways in the US are set for a speed limit that is both safe for that road and allows for reasonable efficiency of travel. Your example here is once again a bad faith gotcha argument based on insane hypotheticals.
It’s become clear that you have nothing meaningful to contribute here. Have a nice life, I’m out.
What you’re advocating for is allowing entitled psychopaths to set the speed everyone is forced to go because you somehow think that if someone is doing 90 in a 55 and hits someone actually doing 55 that it was the normal person’s fault.
I’m obviously not saying anyone should be doing fucking 10 on the highway, I’m saying nobody needs to be doing more than the speed limit.
Every study we have shows that the roads are safer, there are less crashes and they are less deadly when everyone just goes slower. But apparently you would rather risk getting turned into a rorschach splat than advocate for the thing that actually makes roads safer.
The state of the road in your scenario is already unsafe because of the people doing 75. Every. Single. Study. Shows that there are less crashes and they are less lethal when everyone just slows the fuck down. But none of you entitled fuckwits will accept even the tiniest bit of personal inconvenience for the sake of your own safety and that of everyone around you, so we have to live in fucking Mad Max instead.
This is a bullshit talking point used by psychopaths to try to justify their antisocial behavior. If the people around you are going so fast that just doing the speed limit becomes unsafe, they are the ones wholly responsible for creating those unsafe conditions. They are driving faster than the conditions (and let’s be real, their own ability) would reasonably allow for, they are the only ones that should be held responsible for the consequences of their freakish behavior.

I really wish we could stop all the pussyfooting and just get to the actual open conflict portion on the program already. It’s obviously what both sides want at this point, let’s cut the shit and just do the fuckin thing already.
Ryktes@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Study Finds Water Isn't the Best Drink for HydrationEnglish71·20 days agoYeah, a lot of people don’t realize that electrolytes are just as important for hydration as water. Especially if you’re doin some heavy activities and sweatin buckets. You lose so much potassium in effort sweat, and you’ll just start locking up without it.
Dammit, now I gotta go get me a sketti.

Hell, it’s not even the tenth one this year. This is their new normal, and they aren’t going to stop until we all collectively stand up and make them stop.

Nah, they’re just stuck on hulk mode. They’re hyper territorial, even to other hippos, even to babies of other males in their own group.
There’s a handful of bird species that can only eat stuff like nuts, berries, and seeds. Koalas. And I vaguely remember something about a couple kinds of sloths that only eat like, leaves, grass, and flowers?
An important distinction to make is that they are facultative herbavors, not obligate herbavors.
They might prefere fruits and veg, but they’ll eat whatever they can get their teeth on.
Yup, that’s a huge factor people don’t tend to think about when it comes to fitness. It’s the reason they tell you not to do a lot of cardio if you’re trying to do hardcore strength training. Your body only has so much adaptive “bandwidth”, and trying to do to many things at once will massively reduce your progress in all of them.
