If you look closely, there is no beach.

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Beach got cancelled due to climate change raising the sea level.

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 6 days ago

The woke mob is pouring trillions of liters of water into the ocean to deceive people into thinking climate change is real

\j

They sold it

I would think it would be closer to 12-15 seconds, however it depends on many factors. The size and structure of the human matters a lot when considering the speed at which they roll.

I just don't think this person is considering these things. Are they even serious about this sale?

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're assuming that you're falling down the stairs, and not just free falling over the ledge.

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Oh no I'm considering the side, however we also need to consider that it is not going to be entirely smooth, there will be small bumps to provide some short-lived aerial velocity, however there may also be angled protrusions causing a directional drift to slow the person down further.

The way the person initially falls could also contribute, whether they're upright, trying to land on their feet at first, or simple falling to the side, or backwards, etc.
As the bones break they can break in positions which could affect the direction they continue to roll, if they hit the angled protrusions mentioned earlier, and possibly even latch for a moment.

If they're going at a slow speed, perhaps they can make a guess towards a small bump to increase the time spent airborne? This may speed things up but the air friction may play a role in how long the person stays up there (large or slim).

I'm thinking about this a bit too much.

600 minutes if you have had a few beers.

[–] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This has nothing on Kelingking Beach in Indonesia. Gorgeous place but the hike down to beach is insane.

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Beautiful beach & water tho

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 15 points 6 days ago

The house certainly isn't 5 minutes from the beach, the beach might be 5 minutes from the house though.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 13 points 6 days ago

That would be a suicidal axle grind.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Since you're going to eat like you're on vacation, you need to exercise to match.

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

I can do this faster w/ a rail grind... and die.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Imagine sliding down that rail.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 8 points 6 days ago

The friction will make ya pay for it

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.today 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Say bye bye to your perineum.

[–] PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social 3 points 6 days ago

Meh, I've been trying to get rid of that thing for ages anyway. Taint all it's cracked up to be.

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If you ignore air resistance, that's about 320 meters, from s=at^2^/2, a=g=10, t=8

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)

You're not falling straight down though.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Don't tell me what I can't do

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Go ahead build a ramp just so you can fall off it for 320m

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

That's the spirit

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 6 days ago

I think that a Wizard Pope is one of the only people who can tell you what to do! 😜 Abra-ca-FALL-DOWN!

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

These stairs look so steep I deem it a good enough approximation, given I've already rounded g to 10

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If you rounded g down you might have been closer with the fact they are stairs.

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Are we assuming repeatedly hitting the stairs?

I've always considered vertical and horizontal movement separately, so I thought I'd have to add even more to the approximated traveled road, not decrease it.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Let us approximate stairs with a regular slope. Assume rolling down the stairs with minimal aditional horizontal movement other than the slope itself.

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Ohhh, right, the ground will apply the upwards-sideways reaction force

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

Beach? Looks like a rocky ass waterfront.

[–] OozingPositron@feddit.cl 5 points 6 days ago

You would have some amazing glutes though.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 3 points 6 days ago

Unskippable legday.

[–] decolo@piefed.social 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Who's going to geolocate this?

[–] dorumon@lemmy.cafe 3 points 6 days ago

I've actually been to this exact location before to visit a family member.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 days ago

I got vertigo just looking at this picture.

[–] webp@mander.xyz 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You bet I am engineering some type of sled with a breaking system that (hopefully) won't kill me.

[–] OryxAndCake@slrpnk.net 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

All you need is some thick jeans and a pair of gardening gloves, then hook a knee over each rail, hold on and pray nobody starts climbing up without looking, as they're about to get teabagged at mach fuck otherwise.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 2 points 6 days ago

What if I jump

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 days ago

That is so nice while going down, and such a horror when having to go back up

A staircase like that is a PITA, not an addition to a home

[–] Cellari@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I like it when I have options
