minus-squaresaigot@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoit’s 40000km If you do the math it works out that the drop is about 6nanometers per foot
minus-squareremotelove@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoSo we are always walking downhill. Nice.
minus-squareodium@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·2 years agoI did some quick math and I found that it’s at least 120 inches.
minus-squareodium@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoHere’s my methodology. I took my tape measure and laid it flat on the ground in a straight line. My tape measure only goes till 120 inches and it didn’t go around the world. So I concluded that the Earth must be longer than that. Lmk if you spot any errors in my calculations.

Only if you’re walking east.

Interesting if true

That seems high.
