Reminds me of this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-Transcendence_3100_Mile_Race
This race, which lasts several weeks, is hosted by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team and takes place every summer in Queens, New York City. The course is 3,100 miles (4,989 km) long. Runners negotiate 5,649 laps of one extended city block in Jamaica, Queens, bounded by 164th Place, Abigail Adams (84th) Avenue, 168th Street, and the Grand Central Parkway — a distance of 0.5488 miles (883 m) — while the streets are in normal use.[2] The runners have 52 days to complete the distance, running from 6 a.m. to midnight, an average of 59.62 miles (95.95 km) every day. The prize is typically a T-shirt, a DVD, or a small trophy.[3]
This would be a life goal of mine if they could guarantee I wasn't going to get a damn DVD.
Hey, that's me as an 11-or-12-year old, I used to jog around the block in the old central section of town at night, my parents didn't want me straying, there was an old park nearby with shady characters lurking there at night, and the old red light bar district was about three blocks away in the other direction.
OOP could be a fully functional Artificial Intelligence in a video game and no one would notice.
Your use of "OOP" and "functional" threw me for a loop for a second, then I remembered this isn't about programming. I should get some extra sleep tonight.
Did you say throw, loop, and sleep?
This guy and the guy who has been running through my neighborhood at night with glow sticks taped to his body would be great friends I feel.
I hope he changes direction every few laps because sidewalks have a slant to them.
No slant isn't great either. If the sidewalk isn't banked that run seems like torture.
Helps shape his feet for the next laps he'll be running
I put everything on a bagel
I hope this is him.
Pete and Pete was, in my opinion, the absolute pinnacle of what could be done in a show for kids.
Meanwhile, Toby Huss in the picture up there went on to be in Halt and Catch Fire and was the voices of Kahn and Cotton on King of the Hill. Talented dude apart from being the strongest man in the world.
Woahhh, I never realized Kahn and Cotton were the same voice actor. Makes their friendship a little more interesting.
I'm not so convinced that Pete and Pete was actually for kids.
What year is it?!
I’m choosing to imagine he’s running a very very very slightly larger circle each time, getting closer and closer to his neighbours as he goes - instead of it being the precision of the sat nav (and the larger circles only being noticed over a matter of weeks)
When my cat looked at the screen, she tried to play with that.
Damn all that ugly ass driveway space and that one trailertrash asshole ruining his lawn by parking his cars on it... Wonder if it's the same insane loop guy
that one trailertrash asshole ruining his lawn by parking his cars on it...
That's an empty lot with construction equipment in it
That... is a very reasonable explanation lol
Most exciting run in the state
I was honestly surprised to see that it was in ND. Now I’m wondering if the screenshot is of the person I’m thinking of…
Ed, Edd, and Eddy
I wanna know his lap times and how long it took
