That's the scary part though, I don't get any more bugs hitting the windshield while travelling. Used to need to wash it after arriving but now they are just gone... We completely fucked up the environment

[–] Nelots@lemm.ee 26 points 1 day ago

Sad thing is, anybody still not worried by, or unconvinced of, this being our fault also likely sees this as very good news.

But did you see what the big was wearing? It was totally asking for it

According to physics, movement is relative. So both you and bug family are right.

Man, if only back when I killed those 5 pedestrians I would've said "the pedestrians hit me". Now I'm going to jail. Oh well

I have legitimately had a pedestrian hit me.

I was stopped and my car was in park waiting for a gas pump to open up. This idiot watching TikTok’s while walking proceeds to walk straight into the side of my car, and then started yelling at me.

I was in a parking spot too.

When I was a kid, I ran my bike into a parked car. Of course, this was back before cars were mostly fiberglass, so it hurt me more than the car, lmao

You had a terrible lawyer if they couldn't get you off of those charges.

I came here to talk about general relativity but you beat me to it!

[–] obstbert@feddit.org 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

What would your take on general relativity be in this case? The bug, the windshield and the relative velocity are 100% described by classical mechanics.

[–] Earflap@reddthat.com 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

From the drivers perspective the bug smashed into the window at 70 mph while the driver was more or less stationary, but from the bugs perspective the driver came out of nowhere and smashed into it at 70 mph while the bug was more or less stationary. You can say "well obviously the driver was the one who smashed into the bug, they were going 70 mph!", but that's only because you're using the earth as a reference frame, when in fact Einstein showed with general relativity that no such universal reference frame exists. We all agree to use the earth as a reference frame in our every day lives because how else would anything ever get done; there's nothing wrong with that and its very convenient, but it doesn't fully reflect the reality of their interaction.

A deer hit my car once. And that is the right phrasing. It slammed into my moving vehicle which was moving at a 90 angle to its path. I had no choice in the matter.

Lol yes of course. At this point posting that is very akin to blaming me for how society exists in its current form, like that famous cartoon. "Curious, you participate in society yet disagree with it"

I have built my life around avoiding driving in the years since this incident for a million reasons, so you're preaching to the choir.

Let the bug's family hit it too, I hate all the little fuckers
