    ~83m/s

    For the Americans here, 83m is ~0.83 football fields

    It’s more than 3 times the common speed limits on roads, and more than 2 times faster than any speed limit on a motorway in the world (Autobahn doesn’t have limit)

    Let’s imagine your car could pull 6g while decelerating, which is the upper limit what non-trained person is able to take. This would mean that from hitting the brake pedal, your car would move for another 1.4 seconds, in which time it had moved 116 metres. Realistically it’d be A LOT longer but should give a some kind of idea

    Edit: shit math I’m too high to realize your speed is decreasing when you decelerate. Half that breaking distance and you’re closer

    From my Finnish perspective, doesn’t matter. If you’re Finnish citizen, you’re a Finn.

    If you’re born abroad to Finnish parent(s), you’re a Finn. If you come from Zimbabwe and obtain Finnish citizenship, you’re a Finn.

    I think what matters the most is how you identify yourself. Maybe you want to identify yourself via your country of birth or where your ethnic roots are? You decide

    Also you need to love licorice and sauna, that’s a rule /s

    Edit: also the ethnicity thing is weird. Just because someone in your family tree banged or didn’t bang a french, why should that affect on how you define yourself.
