minus-squareodium@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·10 months agoI did some quick math and I found that it’s at least 120 inches.
minus-squareodium@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoHere’s my methodology. I took my tape measure and laid it flat on the ground in a straight line. My tape measure only goes till 120 inches and it didn’t go around the world. So I concluded that the Earth must be longer than that. Lmk if you spot any errors in my calculations.

That seems high.
Interesting if true

Only if you’re walking east.
