What the fuck
How can adults be so fucking dumb
I live in the place which presumably has the lowest European IQ, but seriously, everyone here knows further=object looks smaller
I unironically asked the "wacko of the neighborhood" which has some kind of mental problems, and he actually felt insulted for me asking what happens when you go further away from an object
The most ridiculous part about your story was that they took a fucking CAR for a distance of 200 meters.
Americans are allergic to walking.
I finally found it. It start at 24:35

Its 400 m actually, but still...

I swear these shows look for the dumbest cucks they can find.
Ever see John Oliver? There was a segment asking Americans where North Korea was and the people they show on TV don't have a clue and all point to Canada of all places like we're the DPRK.

He's on a self-propelled wheelchair. Doing 200m is literally fucking nothing to him because all he needs to do is move one muscle

About what?
wut
i didn't get what they did with those two balls whatsoever
draw a pic or something
>>78364083
they're positioning two balls which represent the sun and earth (though heavily scaled down). They went 400m, realised that the sun needs to be smaller than earth, relative to a view from earth and decided that moving the sun towards earth would be the way to do that. Obviously it isn't, they need to go far further out.
but this time I had an american see my balls and when she went further the balls got bigger?!
