  • Not what I’m saying. Just saying that there’s 131 million players and blaming Roblox for like 40 incidents is dumb. That’s like 0.0000012%. 700 kids a year die from being hit by cars. 900 kids a year die from drowning. 500 kids every year are murdered by their own parents.

    Saying Roblox is to blame when it’s such a comparatively small amount of everything else in the world is stupid. You can’t sterilize the planet from danger. Roblox isn’t even a blip when compared to most other things.








  • It doesn’t matter. We’re talking about the possibility of a woman existing that had 100 different men who thought they could defeat her in a wrestling match, wagering up a thousand horses each. A challenge that spanned over years. As her reputation if defeating all these dudes would spread and be known, after the first ten or twenty guys were defeated, the only challengers (if they were actually intending to win) would have been almost nothing but large and strong guys experienced in wrestling.

    There just isn’t any way that would happen.





  • This story always seemed so outlandish to me, that I’m still convinced it isn’t actually the entire story. Like; the men were losing on purpose for some sort of political favor of sorts.

    *Edit: So I’ve done some sleuthing. The story is BS. The only original source of the wrestling for horses came from Marco Polo, and he made up\exagerated all sorts of stuff. She was known as a wrestler, but nothing of defeating 100 men undefeated. Also, the 100 men part was just made up at some point even later, as Marco Polo never gave mention of a number of men she’d wrestled. Only that she had a herd of 10,000 horses won from wrestling. I couldn’t find a source for when the 100 men part got added on.



  • He left out an important data point with all of his math. One he doesn’t have any data on. He failed to account for down force created by the vehicle. He completely ignored it. Downforce completely changes breakaway speeds on the tires.

    As to why it gets slower times than a thousand hp car on the track, it’s simple. The car weighs MUCH more. Like 2,000 pounds more. That makes braking and turning and acceleration slower (but there’s plenty of power to overcome the acceleration) and like what he did touch on, the battery isn’t large enough to go “all out” on this track without running out of juice.

    If the byd car could use magic to make it weigh as little as the zr1 and not be battery capacity limited, it would wipe the floor with the zr1.

    So yes, 3,000hp and all wheel drive is a benefit. It just can’t overcome the weight difference through all the turns and deceleration on the track.
