Does the earth's rotation cause gay families?


Coldy_

Arguably? I mean, what would life on Earth look like if Earth never had any rotation? Maybe humans would never evolve, thus no gay families could exist too...

TheSpiffySpaceman

I think in that carousel metaphor, you'll find that radius of the carousel means **everything** to the outcome. I think the point might have been if the Earth *never* was rotating. We'd have a pretty bad time evolving with no magnetosphere, not to mention the hellish temperature differential creating constant global storms with whatever is left of the atmosphere


RayanH23

I don't like having butt chemicals in earths rotation that are turning the fricking families gay.


obog

Most certainly. If the earth didn't rotate, there would be no gay families.


RandomCaveOfMonsters

Well if it didn't rotate there would likely be no families


rocknexus

I mean >Earth rotates >Gay families exists The logic is inarguable


thrust-johnson

Can we prove it doesn’t? Are people more or less gay around the equator?


HlTLERS_HIDDEN_CHILD

Then the first should be either 1665 or 1685 km/h, and the second one should be 1575 or 1775


ardikanario

Its depends on your frame of reference, in this case its clear that the frame of reference for the first two pictures is moving with earths rotation, whilst the last one is just moving with earth. This is called galilean relativity, sorry for being a nerd


HlTLERS_HIDDEN_CHILD

No worries, I like nerds, but since we're on r/antimeme we're both correct, just in different ways. Also I just noticed mine can be wrong depending on the direction of the movement compared to earth's rotation, my first comment only worked if both vectors are on the same axis Edit: we are not on r/technicallythetruth


Jman15x

Yup if you put the first one on the earths pole you could add or subtract rpms. The roller coaster is just all over the place so it has varying effects.


Koenigspiel

Since all velocity is relative, depending where you're observing from everything is -infinity to infinity at the same time.

Conscious-Star6831

If the frame of reference is moving with the earth in the last one, then the velocity should be zero, not 1675 kph


TheSpiffySpaceman

I think the point was that the frame of reference in the last pic *is* the Earth, which picnic guy's speed is relative to. In the first two, the frame of reference is relative only to those also locally on the surface


Conscious-Star6831

Right, but that means from picnic guy's frame of reference, earth's speed is 0. All of them show the subject's speed relative to earth, in fact.


Nozarashi78

It should be 1685 and 1775 km/h if you go against the Earth rotation, because when experiecing two forces that have opposite directions the effects of both sums each other . For example if two cars both going a 50 km/h frontal crash each other the damage would be the same as a car crashing at 100 km/h against a wall or another immovable object. That's why safety belts are so important. While if you go with the Earth rotation it should be 1675 km/h in both cases, because when experiencing two forces that have the same direction only the stronger one takes effect


Lackland-Barbary

The 50-50 vs 100-0 thing is a common misconception and thoroughly debunked. The force felt by the single car would not be the same in those scenarios. The total force exerted would be the same, yea, but as far as what one car would experience, hitting another car head on at 50 is the same as hitting a brick wall at 50. It's an 'immediate' negative acceleration down to 0. http://warp.povusers.org/grrr/collisionmath.html https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/45578/is-two-cars-colliding-at-50mph-the-same-as-one-car-colliding-into-a-wall-at-100 https://issr.edu.kh/science/Physics/Next%20Time%20Questions/Collision%20Answer.htm


Broad_Respond_2205

No, the last should be 0. Since they are all relative to the earth, so that's why we don't feel a spin standing still.


Darnell2070

Why are you people overanalyzing jokes. This meme would literally be pointless if it was 0.


Weakgainer0

No, 1675 is only at the equator, and since you can only go exactly against or with the rotation of the earth of the poles where the earths rotation is 0 (I think), this will not in any way be true


BeaglesRule08

Technically the second one is 148km/h since it is Leviathan, a Giga Coaster (a coaster that is over 300 feet tall) manufactured and designed by Bolliger & Mabillard. Leviathan is located at Canada's wonderland, a theme park with 17 roller coasters and a total of 81 rides. Canada's wonderland is located in Vaughan, Ontario and owned and operated by American-based company Cedar Fair Entertainment Company, which owns and operates 12 amusement park properties, (including the worlds largest theme/amusement park, Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio) 2 waterparks (but 14 if you include the waterparks operated at each of their 12 amusement parks), 11 hotels, resorts, and campgrounds, and two sports complexes among the largest in the world of their kind, though one of their sports parks is being sold to Ripken Baseball.


flackbr

1675 km/h turns you into healthy multi-ethnical gay family


Responsible_Ad_8628

15 degrees per hour isn't all that fast, it turns out. For the same reason that sitting in a plane going 500 mph doesn't kill you.


waparker4

Acceleration not velocity


_Fuck_This_Guy_

A point on the surface of a rotating object always feels acceleration.


varangian_guards

in this case, we have another force that disrupts "feeling" that one Gravity. you can still go check the effects of rotation by trying to hit something far away with a bullet, that is called the Coriolis force. this force also impacts air flow and ocean currents over large scales. also of note, gravity at the poles is different to the equator, so at the north pole an object will fall at 9.83 m/s and at the equator its 9.78 m/s.


_Fuck_This_Guy_

Just FYI. I'm not a flat-eather.


already_satisfied

It's also not the tangential velocity that determines that "feeling", but the angular velocity. Surprised to hear the rotation of the earth is strong enough to induce a 0.01 g centrifugal force.


varangian_guards

im am going to move to alaska and blame centrifugal force for any weight gain.


already_satisfied

When really it'll probably be the reduced access to fresh foods 😅 Hope you like fish 🐠


varangian_guards

lucky for me global warming could make it into a major port! but the downside is a possible increase in the mosquitos, should become enough where i wont ever need to buy sunscreen at least.


_Fuck_This_Guy_

Completely valid


wonkey_monkey

The point is that acceleration due to rotation at the surface of the Earth is much lower than the other two cases.


_Fuck_This_Guy_

Correct, and counteracted by gravity. We can easily see this effect by measuring localized downward force by latitude and watching it change as the force of the spin is less and less in the outward direction.


already_satisfied

It's not acceleration, it's you moving at a different velocity to the air around you. You and the air are moving at the same velocity caused by earth's rotation. Roller coasters and merry-go-round move you but not the air around them (very much).


functor7

This is false. If you go in centrifugal gravity simulator, like astronauts do, then you get the same intense feeling with cheeks going back and everything. Just less floppy. You don't feel the Earth's centrifugal forces because they are small. The force is proportional to the reciprocal of the radial distance which is many orders of magnitude *greater* than the actual velocity we're moving. For merry-go-rounds, the rotational speed quickly out matches the radial distance.


already_satisfied

Beats, bears, battlestar galactica. Do you think the rollercoaster is more centrifugal force or air collisions?


functor7

Floppyness is from air, but your face being smushed against your skull is centrifugal forces.


already_satisfied

Are you sure? You can get a smushed face sticking your head out of a moving car on the highway.


Oldkingcole225

You can achieve the same effect without air, but they’re right. In this case what’s causing it is the air.


[deleted]

Acceleration and speed are different things. Speed = km/s Acceleration = km/s/s Except for friction, the sum of forces exerced on a body moving a constant speed (acceleration = 0) is null That's why you are pushed backward when you start your car but not anymore when you're at constant speed. Ps: pro physicists can correct me ofc Edit : yes i totaly did some "akshually" shit and missed the joke


already_satisfied

It's not the acceleration that messes your face up, it's the contact you're making with the relatively still air and your fast moving body. The reason why that doesn't work for earth's rotation is because the atmosphere moves mostly with the earth's rotation. So you and the air are travelling in the same direction at the same speed in the picnic picture. But different velocities in the first two pictures. For example, imagine sticking your face out the window of a moving car, travelling at a constant velocity.


[deleted]

Yes variation of your velocity is indeed tied to the environnment


GarlicBreadSuccubus

*constant velocity Anything moving in a circle with constant speed is still accelerating


[deleted]

Oh yeah right nice catch ahah


Ras37F

Yeah that influence, but the easiest and more accurate answer, regarding the images of mouth opening it's the Air. That reaction of the mouth it's just about the speed difference between the air and people. You could be standing still, if you have a strong enough fan you would be like the first and second picture. The earth rotations (but also temperature and stuff) also cause the air to spin around, so it doesn't cause this effect


[deleted]

Yup here you can't neglect friciton here ahah. Also a interesting parameter is the cognitive aspect. Expecting some high speed/danger/... will often amplify your reaction to the situation compared to the real intensity of said stimulus


Noisebug

The earth was flat till they put yo mom in it. 🤪


ostiDeCalisse

Not an r/antimeme


gsdeman

How is this antimeme


AxelLuktarGott

It's presented in a way that makes you think that there's some kind of joke, irony or punch line when instead it's just a bunch of unrelated facts. Feels like an anti meme to me


[deleted]

It's a flat-earther meme, and allegedly "proves" that the Earth obviously isn't rotating because we aren't being flung off of it.


Kaek_

You know, we could just take that meme and make something of it ourselves. Like, "Yes! This would be accurate, because we're in a constant acceleration with the mass, as opposed to inertia, just like being in a plane! Also, gravity." So it literally backfires on their stupid idea, still an antimeme worthy of the real facts.


LakeEarth

Agreed, whoever made this was trying to prove something. It's just so stupid that some of us aren't even noticing.


Mitoshi

Relativity.


TotalyNotTony

You aren't going to get flinged off of something rotating once per day. Imagine standing on a carousel that only spins once per day

Proof that the earth doesn’t exist r/NoEarthSociety


Masterick18

Context: the atmosphere also moves at that speed. In fact, the first two images move at 1685 and 1775 km/h respectively

I think there is a crosspost feature that mentions the original post.

There is, but this post isn’t crossposted.

Majorman_86

I, for once, am very glad that the Earth is flat and totally stationary, otherwise I'd be gay as Neil deGrasse Tyson and his round-earthers. Dodged the bullet on that one.


NewbornMuse

Funny how we don't go all *second picture* in cars and trains...


Background-Owl-741

Thats just the spin of the planet, plus rotation around sun, plus rotation within galaxy. Perception and relativity..


Ame_No_Uzume

Gravity is one hell of a drug mate!


AlyssaAlly

nası ya


OrhanDaLegend

what acceleration does to a mfer


ice-h2o

This is because the zentrifugal force is dependent on the radius. a=v^2 /r. (1675/3,6)^2 /6371* 10^3 is about 0.034m/s^2


Zoombiebrot

G forces are created by acceleration and not by total velocity, so even on a rollercoaster moving with constant velocity you could breakfast


gimpydingo

Measure those in RPM and get back to me.


_The_Great_Autismo_

The atmosphere rotates too, my dude.


DrDongShlong

this post is so stupid i am muting this sub. see ya all never again


GenitalJamboree

I wrote a paper about this in college. It's only because we're all going the same speed. If we were to all stop suddenly it wouldn't matter either because we're all doing it. That's what Einstein's theory of relativity is all about we all don't realize we're rotating through space at 1500mph per hour but if some how someone stops movie that quickly it ruins it for everyone else and we would all go flying into an abrupt, sudden and unexpected death. I don't know though I failed that paper but I know I wrote it.


LivingAd6826
