    The article you linked doesn’t say what you claim it says. It discusses a 25moh car hitting a pedestrian, which is wildly different from a true 25mph impact in general, because most pedestrians will try to dodge.

    Humans can’t survive being hit by a car at 25 mph.

    The primary purpose of most speed limits is tax revenue, which is why most speed limits are not based on safety evidence. The local authorities just tweak the limits to maximize profits.







  • My dearest Penelope,

    It is day three of the Beef Stroganoff memes and I fear there will be no end to them. Tis hard to see the mighty seared juicy beef strips mercilessly smothered in an incredible sour cream mushroom gravy. No dear wife nearby to speak a word of comfort; no living sister or mother to administer noodles in that dinner hour the most sad in the history of humanity. Oh, the humanity. Oh, the horrors of supper. Truly it may be considered the most cruel and awful meal which can befall a man. Heaven grant there may be ramen soon.

    With all my love and hunger,

    Samuel D. Lougheed

    OP, never post xkcd or smbc without including the alt-text (and for smbc, the votey).

    The Fujita Scale was replaced by the Enhanced Fujita Scale in 2007, but I think ‘EF-5’ sounds stupid, so I vote we just use the new measurements for assigning numbers but still call them ‘F-whatever’.
