I know! Amazing!
DAE absolutely hate the π emoji?
Yes πππ
I used to have this otherwise kind and friendly but absolutely not sharp coworker who always tried to force laughs out of you whenever she tried to say something funny. Like, you would be there, smiling, and she comes over, grabs you by the arms, starts shaking them and laughs very loud while looking you in the eye with her crazy stare until you do, too.
Yeah... whenever I see someone apply these exaggerated emojis to their mild content I just think they are somewhat similar.
Who in their right mind looks at this and starts to laugh so hard that they literally end up in tears?
People don't even use it for funny things though. I only see it as a way to shame people, as if they're laughing at you. Except it's almost always just stupid deflection when they don't have any objective arguments to offer. It's what I imagine debates would be like in "Idiocracy", and it makes me lose hope for humanity.
It's my least favorite laughing emoji
In my culture cool kids, violent psychopaths, goths and other future failures in life will sit in the back of the bus.
Retards, slimy ass kissers and future politicians will sit on the front of the bus.
Victims of these fuckers will sit in the middle.
Same thing in your culture?
Nah. The further up the grade of school, the further at the back you were.
Basically it gets to a point where the back of the bus is the final sanctitude from immaturity. Then you leave school and you're at the front of the bus again.
Then you leave school and youβre at the front of the bus
Then you leave school and youβre in front of the bus
That's....much more accurate, yes.
So the bus driver sits in the front of the bus? Wow!
Mind blowing concept!
I hate to admit it, but OP has a point.
Only 20th and 21st century kids will get this joke!
Could be an RV painted to look like a bus. Some people would fuck with you that way. Never trust.
Yeah, but sometimes those people have candy and puppies.
Just because what they show you looks like a hot dog doesn't make it a puppy.
Then what do you call the part in front of the front of the bus?
Engine
Absolute front
The Future
I'd argue the line between front and middle and middle and back is not that accurate.
This is an accurate assessment.
Only 90s kids will understand
Why does the bus have flat tires?
The kids are just that heavy
the brackets are too close, he's scared
Wtf was worth blurring? Bluebird?
Bus
What about the wheels on the bus
They go round and round
But where is it
No idea
i can't tell, never rode a school bus
but i think you should cite your sources, op
Source: see above
I need a peer-reviewed study to believe you
Hello, I am a peer and I have reviewed the above and can confirm.
Thank
Question: Which is the safest spot on the bus to be sitting when in an accident?
A tbone would be pretty catastrophic, and given the length of the bus, likely happen in the middle, being rear ended would be a nightmare. Theoretically being in the front would likely be the safest, given the fact that the engine exists there. However, a front side impact would likely be a significant mess. Though perhaps less than you would think, given the structure for the door and stairs.
So for the best outcome in an accident. One needs to experience the least amount of force and force is equal to mass times acceleration. I think it's pretty safe to assume that mass is a fixed number in this case so we need to change the speed of acceleration to reduce force. So the further you are away from the point of impact the more time the impact occurs over reducing the force experienced.
So basically figured out where the bus more likely to be hit and then sit as far away from that as possible. I think we would find that the back of the bus statistically would be the safest place to sit. As front end collisions are probably going to be at the highest rate of speed and rearing conditions are probably going to be at the lowest rate of speed.
Alternatively you could just try bubble wrap.
to be specific here. What is the heatmap probability of any particular spot being hit, and what is the heatmap of least likely to be impacted spots, overlayed on top of the heatmap, to account for any weird anomalies in data present.
But yes, bubble wrap is a very good answer.
Depends on the mass/inerria of the colliding vehicle.
I don't think a bus would even notice a sedan going 60-0 into its backside. Maybe even a small SUV. A semi with a 55ft trailer would be a different story.
i mean, unless you're sitting in the very back, yeah it probably won't be noticeable. Unless you were. Though they are situated pretty high up, so a sedan is probably going to get the lifted f150 treatment anyway.
Depends on the type of accident, but generally as far away from the point of impact with the bus as possible.
On balance of likelihood that's going to be the back of bus.
High speed rear end is unlikely for a city bus. Most likely the bus rear ends someone because it can't stop in time, or a head-on collision of some kind on a narrow road.
im talking, which spot on the bus, is statistically least likely to get you injured in a crash, level of specificity. Near back of the bus is a pretty good contender though.
That's what I meant too, so yeah. Other than the driver's seat of course.
Above the rear tyre on the side of the bus away from oncoming traffic.
Being someone who always over thinks things I used to sit there for my school commute. So I was less than impressed when the bus dropped that wheel off a cliff on a windy road.
Managed to drag back onto the road at least so I didn't get to test the survivability of my seating arrangement in free fall.
you would think it's simple, but the second you start to consider things, it starts to make less sense, notably, i think the most important aspect would be your bus route. Taking a lot of turns that expose you to potential side collisions is objectively worse, than not.
