6.12s flying: https://files.catbox.moe/iolxne.mp4
6.12s / 2 = 3.06s falling
45.91 = (1/2)g3.06²
*Fixed math because I forgot to halve the air time.
So, I think I’ve seen higher, but the second explosion when the turret landed is definitely worth a lot of points for style.
Cool high jump. Too bad they can only do it once.
Well, these things are one time use, just like fireworks.
Somebody probably died in that fireball
They went straight from biology to physics without any time to feel the in between. There are far worse ways to go.
Skipping right past chemistry, sounds like a best case scenario.
As long as you don’t jump all the way to mathematics. Then we have a problem.
Jesus, never heard it put like that before and it feels a lot more visceral.
It’s actually from an XKCD what if (the light speed baseball pitch one I think). I believe the exact phrase was “You wouldn’t die of anything in particular. You would just suddenly stop being biology and start being physics.” I liked it so I stole it. I also like my modified version “They ascended from biology to a more pure science.”
This isn’t the first time this has happened, you know. It’s just something you expect to see on the daily.
Nah, the pressure of the explosion milliseconds prior to the heat is what likely killed them, but that fireball was a nice follow-up.
There’s not many great ways to go as a tanker. At least it’s quick
MFW I have spent my whole life not doing genocide in Ukraine.
Mind sharing your secrets to restraint?
Drink more Ovaltine
About 20 russian soldiers die every hour.
Hopefully.
Good! Several fewer vatniks to hurt people in Ukraine.
