Hey man, distance is not velocity.

[–]synackle 5 points6 points ago

Or speed.

[–]Bojamijams 4 points5 points ago

It is in spatial relativity.

I'm sure George Lucas knew that when he wrote the 12 parsec line.

I'm sure of it.

[–]videogameexpert 1 point2 points ago

I thought we agreed that Lucas is just a moron?

[–]Kofetek -1 points0 points ago

George Lucas is the one with billions of dollars. Morons are the ones with kids.

[–]Triclops200 0 points1 point ago

I always assumed that that's how much their warp drive bent space by and they were moving at near hyperspace's version of top speed, meaning that they covered the distance much faster than normal. Or I could be over-thinking this.

[–]404-shame-not-found 0 points1 point ago

That's one way of looking at, but until science can prove that something like that can happen. Then Lucas is still a moron for not knowing what a Parsec is.

kmph*

[–]theKalash 20 points21 points ago

km/h

[–]Renkie 5 points6 points ago

Kilometer per hour = kilometer / hour.

[–]idogrammergoods 15 points16 points ago

He's slowly transforming into the dragon from The Neverending Story.

[–]mathazar 6 points7 points ago

I'll just leave this here.

[–]Snarfler 3 points4 points ago

or the predator

[–]photoroksmywrld 3 points4 points ago

So I just read the title as "one hundred and twenty KITTY meters" I'm not sure but I think my cat jumping up next to my laptop influenced my brain.

[–]OblivionGamer92 2 points3 points ago

For some reason, whenever I see the word kilometers, I always say it in my head with a Russian accent.

[–]gak001 4 points5 points ago

Per hour? Roughly equivalent to 75 miles per hour.

[–]DeadDiskoDog 6 points7 points ago

For all you imperial bastards.

[–]gak001 5 points6 points ago

Join the Dark Side.

[–]conversionbot 1 point2 points ago

75 miles = 120.7 kilometers

[–]gak001 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I think the math works out to 74 and change.

[–]the_dissonance 6 points7 points ago

Mad props to a man who can drive that fast and take pictures of his dog at the same time. Lol

[–]MidnightRadio86 11 points12 points ago

At 120km I dissolved in a fit of giggles.

[–]Eden-abridged 4 points5 points ago

I read the title as a distance, not a speed. In my head the dog was being pulled backwards the farther it went away.

I think I'll keep that image, I like it better.

[–]Leehams 1 point2 points ago

As a civil engineer (undergrad), who knows his physics, this bothers me in a central way to well internal well being.

[–]WaffleWarrior64 4 points5 points ago

Ludicrous speed!

[–]mountaincyclops 2 points3 points ago

Shit they've gone to plaid!

[–]poleethman 5 points6 points ago

Thanks OP. You just made my girlfriend spit water at the back of my head.

[–]Mia_May 9 points10 points ago

When did redditors start getting girlfriends?

[–]mountaincyclops 1 point2 points ago

Found them on /r/gonewild

[–]ableom 0 points1 point ago

You mean your mom did.

[–]tolkaholic 2 points3 points ago

Thank you for this bit of sunshine in my dim day.

[–]GrooveCombo 2 points3 points ago

AAATTTRRREEEEYYYYUUUU!!!!!!

[–]SharonLulz 2 points3 points ago

I'd be afraid that the dog would fly out the window

[–]thesarahgreen 4 points5 points ago

googles conversion chart

[–]drawingdead0 1 point2 points ago

That dog looks so happy!

[–]Rob1n559 1 point2 points ago

I laughed so hard I got hiccups. :[

[–]piratestronghold -1 points0 points ago

I actually laughed out loud, it's about time.

[–]Kar98_Byf42 0 points1 point ago

km/h

[–]TakethatBobaFett 0 points1 point ago

I'm literally laughing uncontrollably. Thank you stranger.

[–]thirstyfalcon -1 points0 points ago

Hey! This is 'Murica! We don't use your "metric system"! Rest of the world aught best to learn it our way, damned foriegners!

[–]IStandUpForYou 3 points4 points ago

Please stop this, even though I understand you are joking some people might not think that. We don't need to stoke the fire of the America hate, it finally died down.

[–]doomsayer_mmxi 0 points1 point ago

One of the only things that actually had me laughing in a long time. Keep going!

Also, upvote for cocker spaniels.

[–]FUCKEAGAMES 0 points1 point ago

Can you put that in freedom speak?

[–]element3media -2 points-1 points ago

Why did you repost this? Why?

[–]LOLSTRALIA 1 point2 points ago

Why did you break the reddiquette ? Why?

[–]element3media -2 points-1 points ago

because I dont give a FUCK about reddiquette and you are helping to ruin the internet and should be called out on it. Idiot.

[–]LOLSTRALIA 0 points1 point ago

Derp Derp. I'm not OP. I downvoted OP as well. DERP. 4 month old account. derp.

[–]element3media -2 points-1 points ago

Spoken like a true retard. Thanks for making my point for me.

[–]LOLSTRALIA 0 points1 point ago

Either abide by the rules laid down by the people that run Reddit or fuck off back to 9gag. Quite simple.

[–]element3media -2 points-1 points ago

And what are you going to do about it? Nothing, that's what. This is a fucking stupid ass site on the internet, what RULES are you speaking of? lol. God, you are pathetic.

[–]LOLSTRALIA 0 points1 point ago

Fuck you really are a 9gag rope in aren't you?

reddiquette

Please don't: Complain about reposts. Just because you have seen it before doesn't mean everyone has. Votes indicate the popularity of a post, so just vote. Keep in mind that linking to previous posts is not automatically a complaint; it is information. Votes indicate how the community values information, so just vote.

You've had an account for 4 months, either get with the program or fuck off, seriously. I've seen Reddit deteriorate over the last 6+ months into nothing but 'lol' and 'repost' comments in every thread.
