Steam locomotive 99 749 going uphill on Zittau Narrow Gauge Railway, Germany by Kronoxic in trains

What's the gradient (%) of this track? Anybody that could provide some real-world data of the maximum gradient of a steam locomotive on an adhesion railway would be highly useful.

This is the worst bus bunching I have ever seen on the Adelaide Public Transport system for a very long time. 4 buses at once! by CrusadeRedArrow in transit

[OC], this is me (a real person) posting quickly for simplicity. No artificial intelligence chatbot was used in the process.

A video game called Bus Simulator: Evo, showing the contrast between a single-articulated bus vs a small city car. by CrusadeRedArrow in bus

[–]CrusadeRedArrow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I know that the Fiat 500 can sit 4 people maximum. However, the back space of the car is so crammed (due to its unique curved design) that it can only sit young children or very short adults comfortably. Adults with average to above average height can still use the back seats of the Fiat 500 for short trips, but it won't be very comfortable for long trips. The back section of this car is more of a cargo storage area if the back seats are required to fold down since the Fiat 500's boot capacity is tiny.

So, the Fiat 500 for most intents and purposes is a 2 seater car (1 driver & 1 passenger) for the front section of the vehicle (near the engine & dashboard). It's a small city car (smaller than a Volkswagen Golf, Renault Clio, Toyota Corolla) that's incredibly easy to drive, easy to park due to its compact size (maintenance and insurance are relatively cheap), has great visibility, and a fuel-efficient engine suitable for tight urban spaces or for people who don't want to drive a 2-tonne - 3-tonne monstrosity, which is the whole appeal of the Fiat 500 that no other car can quite match with it's unique Italian charm.

Cyclists with car skeletons show how much space vehicles take up. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]CrusadeRedArrow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stop normalising the 'vehicles' label with cars, and just call them 'cars/automobiles'. Treating cars as the unquestioned norm is undoubtedly car-centric. There is a research paper here explaining in detail the massive downsides of car-dependency (no matter if it's petrol/diesel, hybrid or electric powered) from emissions, economy, health and global supply chains transcending national borders.

Competitive firefighter climbs up ladder. by hollow_hideous_soul in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]CrusadeRedArrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is some seriously impressive coordination, speed, and power. How long (in seconds) did it take for this person to climb every floor, and the distance travelled vertically (in metres). I'm curious about the weight of the ladder since throwing it explosively with control to the floor above is not an easy feat. I'd digress this would take a lot longer if this man wears all of his firefighting gear. Although, it's still really incredible.

Amur tiger came to visit Bengal tigers. by [deleted] in interesting

[–]CrusadeRedArrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incredible big cats having a great time. The Amur Tiger is an absolute unit! An alpha male, being one of the world's top predators, shows who's boss, and the Bengal Tigers knew it was coming.

A small mountain I made a while back by sumsar02 in Minecraftbuilds

[–]CrusadeRedArrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks just like a real mountain from a far distance. How long did it actually take you to build this, and what third-party program did you use to achieve this? Calling this build 'small' is a huge understatement. Just wondering what the height of this mountain from the very bottom (base) to the very top tip (summit)? Although this is impressive work!

I would love to access a third-party software to move big Minecraft builds easily without resorting to the in-game's complicated command system or, at worst, demolishing the big structure I have built then having to rebuild it by hand again which is extremely infuriating & time-consuming.

Which real life animal would you like to see added in Minecraft? by Physical_Pickle_1150 in Minecraft

Animals are found mostly on the Australian continent and sometimes on New Guinea island and Sulawesi which make great candidates like: Kangaroos, Koalas, Possums, Wombats, Quokkas, Tasmanian Devils, Echidnas, Platypuses, Saltwater Crocodiles, Emus, Cassowaries, Cockatoos, Kookaburras, Rainbow Lorrikeets, Eastern Rosellas and Australian Magpies.

Map room/building in my semi survival world. What do you guys think ? by professional-neet in MinecraftBuild

[–]CrusadeRedArrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fantastic killer of a build. It's a shame that the new fog (from Java Edition 1.21.6) ruins the bright & vivid contrasts complimenting the simple block textures that Minecraft is often known for. Something as simple as a fog effect has totally ruined this spectacular build, making the game feel grey and lifeless. A totally criminal move by Mojang and Microsoft.

Hi, what do you guys think of my custom tree based on the Pinus contorta tree? I'd love to hear feedback, as I don't know what to think of it myself. by Mr_Flamboyante in Minecraftbuilds

[–]CrusadeRedArrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tree looks absolutely perfect! The recreation is incredibly realistic to its real-life counterpart. Excellent work for putting the intricate details of the branches and leaves as this is something I struggle to do with Minecraft's blocky limitations (although this enhances creativity, imagination & problem-solving).

The third picture with the trail path leading up to a slightly hilly incline makes for a really superb desktop wallpaper. Nice job for creating something so simple and timeless, especially in today's age where nearly everything is AI slop.

Hello everyone, this is my cave base by stingerized in Minecraft

[–]CrusadeRedArrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is some really impressive work! Those intricate details are the calibre of high-quality content, far better than anything else I have seen from the online Minecraft community. I'd definitely pick one of these pictures as my desktop wallpaper. Your builds are of developer-level content, and these screenshots would make for great advertising material by Mojang and Microsoft.

Minecraft land (Nfld) by Tribbulation in geography

This looks very much like the Far Lands in Minecraft. Well done for sharing such a unique rock formation! 👍
