I just found out people have been illegally speedrunning the width of the united states in heavily modified vehicles in under 27 hours, averaging speeds at least as high as 107mph all the way from manhattan to redondo beach. what the living fuck https://www.whichcar.com.au/news/the-cannonball-run-record-has-been-obliterated
there's an elaborate system of spotters and everything. there's a whole culture, a speedrunning community of crazy car guys built up around this. why is this country like this. do not do this
one of the former record "holders" is now like, the unoficcial king of verifying new records. this is what he looks like. that's a speedrunning bro if I've ever seen one
all this to say, these guys saw empty pandemic streets and said "it is finally our time"
everyone who thinks I'm taking an L for thinking this is dumb: it's literally rich douchebags endangering lives for a thrill. these guys are landlords and CEOs pouring money into roleplaying being cool. fuck em
just woke up, why is this post blowing up. I hope every rich piece of shit who tries the cannonball run crashes and fucking dies. listen to my podcast about why rich people are bad and weed is good if you don't get it https://soundcloud.com/beepbeepleaf
an awful lot of actual nazis in my replies over this. lots of "88" and "rhodesian" and confederate flags who can't wait to find out what a 120mph crash feels like
I think the reason this post upset so many people is because it's making them realize that if they finally decide to do what they've always dreamed of, kill themselves while going real fasto vroom vroom, very few people will care and the ones who do will think it's very funny
