Profoundlystrangecrusade - The Potatoes Are Burning

I was a little bored, so I thought I might apply some math to this shitpost.

If we assume mk means kilometer (km) we can calculate how far away the flying ghost hands were initially from your house. Speed is a measurement of distance over time, which in formula form looks like this:

v=d/t

Since we have the speed and the time, we can find the distance by multiplying speed and time. The resulting formula looks like this:

v(t)=d/t(t)

vt=d

We’re almost ready to start plugging in the variables, but there’s a bit of conversion we need to get through. First, here’s what it the calculation looks like so far:

300km/h(0.1 seconds)=d

The issue here is that the formula as-is uses two different units of time, hours and seconds. There are a number of ways to convert, but I’ve chosen to convert both units of time into something called deci-seconds(ds) which is the equivalent of 0.1 seconds. This will make things easy for us as we go along.

Now we need to calculate how many deci-seconds are in an hour. We know that an hour is 60 minutes, and a minute is 60 seconds. Since a second is made of 10 deciseconds, we can multiply all of those units together.

60x60x10=36000 deciseconds in an hour

So for every 36,000 deciseconds, the ghost hands travel 300km. The thing is, 36,000 deciseconds is clunky to use as a whole unit. Instead of relying on speed based on the hour, we convert the speed to be based solely on the decisecond. To do this, we go back to the original formula and plug in the new variables:

d/t=v

Kilometers/deciseconds=kilometers-per-decisecond (km/ds)

300km/36,000ds=3km/360ds=1km/120ds=approx. 0.008333km/ds

So for every 1 decisecond, the ghost hands will travel approximately 0.008333 kilometers. So for how long did the ghost hands travel? That’s right, they traveled 1 decisecond precisely! By converting time to that fraction of a second in the initial phases, we got our concluding work cut out for us! Let’s put that into the formula all over again:

vt=d

0.008333km/ds(1ds)=0.008333kilometers=8.333 meters

In conclusion, the flying ghost hands were 8 and one-third meters away from your house, before they started coming to your house! How long were they at that starting point, and how long will they stay at your house will require more information to make the calculations.

But wait, you might say, what if “mk/h” wasn’t a typo of km/h, but really meant mega-kilometers per hour? Well, while that might not necessarily be an often-used unit of measurement, the prefixes mega- and kilo- are used to mean actual numbers, so we can use them to make calculations out of them.

Just as kilo- is used to mean one thousand (1000), mega- is used to mean one million (1,000,000). So 300 mega-kilometers converts to 300 million kilometers (300,000,000 km). From there we can simply plug in the new number into the last of the previous steps:

300,000,000km/36,000ds=300,000km/36ds=100,000km/12ds=50,000km/6ds=25,000km/3ds=8333.333km/ds

8333.333km/ds(1ds)=8333.333km

Granted, that’s much more impressive in terms of speed and distance for the flying ghost hands to travel. Though admittedly the idea of some ghost hands waiting across the street from your house until the right moment comes across as more threatening to me. Nevertheless the pair of flying ghost hands are covering about 20 percent of Earth’s circumference faster than the speed of light. That they they would be able find your house at that speed not only requires a high degree of pinpoint accuracy but a huge amount of determined rage first. Imagine pissing off someone so much they break the known laws of physics just to get to your house.

flying ghost hands 300mk/h coming to yourhouse in 0.1 second 

This shouldn't work as well as it does...
