Not-so-fun fact: He'll have to be rescued with taxpayer money

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

Boring fact: The highest pass he'll have to cross on his journey looks like this:

If he'll have to be rescued, then because someone ran him over.

Meanwhile a normal mountain pass in the normal world:

That's just the section of the map for drift challenges

What does this mean?

Could also get snowed in somewhere or unable to get to shelter during a major storm.

I mean he should get to the East Coast around 70 days from now, what are the chances he'll see snow before January 30th. Guess he can turn around and ride back through the Appalachian Mountains in February. No snow there right?

And the skateboard is the fastest way to get around Lego Island

You've just triggered a memory. Something about vehicles zooming around Lego Island. Were you able to get out of them while they were moving so that they kept going?

[–] wreckedcarzz 1 points 54 minutes ago

I don't believe so, no

[–] Wogi 2 points 2 hours ago

Oh I have no idea, I remember very little of that game. Something about a helicopter crash and a race you had to use the skateboard for. It was the fastest vehicle.

Probably will find a half pipe somewhere.

Mountain valleys are nature's halfpipes writ large.

Another fact: Society failed to educate him properly using taxpayer money.

Perhaps society deserves to face the consequences of its actions.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 hours ago

I agree with you and have even more to add -

Even more fun fact - the taxpayer money that will likely eventually be used to rescue this person, potentially saving their life, is an infinitesimal waste compared to so very many other things. I'm not ever going to shame someone or expect them to be billed/prosecuted/etc for their rescue unless they criminally broke the law in order to arrive at that state. (and maybe not even then)
