Why are these posts getting downvoted? I don't get it.

Citing measurements made at the 1926 Iowa State Fair, they reported that the peak power over a few seconds has been measured to be as high as 14.88 hp (11.10 kW) and also observed that for sustained activity, a work rate of about 1 hp (0.75 kW) per horse is consistent with agricultural advice from both the 19th and 20th centuries [...]

Sounds to me like the 1 hp unit is fair, after all.

The unfunnyness is the point, IMO. The sub is an Agrajag-like Cathedral of Hate and masochism dojo rolled into one.

Look at that armor belt. The tasteful thickness of it.

Even "until the speed of light" has a caveat (hear me out). Would you call getting from A to B in 1 hour on your watch instead of 2 as "faster"? If your answer is yes, then there's no limit to how "fast" you can go. You could get from here to the Andromeda Galaxy in one minute. It's just that for the Andromeda and the Milky Way a LOT more time would have passed.

Big head-to-body ratio = juvenile features = cute.

Thank you for the kind presumption, but I actually fucked it up and scrambled up my geography, @[email protected] was right to correct me. I looked at a map before I wrote that, too, and I still read it wrong. I'm not even sure what i thought was between them...

Fun fact I read once: The most common last name in Hungary is not Magyar but actually Horvath. Which in Hungarian means "Croat".

~~And Croatia is not even a directly neighboring country anymore. So it'd be like the most common name in America being Johnny Guatemala~~.

Agonal breathing is when someone who is not getting enough oxygen is gasping for air. It is usually due to cardiac arrest or stroke. It's not true breathing. It's a natural reflex that happens when your brain is not getting the oxygen it needs to survive. Agonal breathing is a sign that a person is near death.

Something moving that fast wouldn't stay "north" of anyone's location long enough for them to finish saying that...

What's the link with Finnish?

At least they’d have a new, renewable energy source and reduced energy consumption.
