minus-squaresaigot@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoit’s 40000km If you do the math it works out that the drop is about 6nanometers per foot
minus-squareremotelove@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoSo we are always walking downhill. Nice.
minus-squareodium@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·1 year agoI did some quick math and I found that it’s at least 120 inches.
minus-squareodium@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year 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.
And Weast

That seems high.
Interesting if true
