Wow! Tough crowd. Seriously, at least I explained my reasoning for why hurricanes do not cross the equator. All they did was make either wrong or poorly formulated claims without any kind of explanation, and then throw insults.
Saying that "The Earth spins faster" makes no sense, especially in this context: why would the equator spin significantly faster than 100km away from it?!? And why would this negligible speed difference prevent hurricane from crossing that line?
If you want to correct someone, at least do it right.
If you want to correct someone, don't view it as an intellectual pissing match. You knew exactly what they meant.
Of course I knew what they meant, since I explained why I did not agree with their reasoning (point B in my answer).
Since this moment, you 2 have only been aggressive without contributing to the exchange.
I also tried to diffuse the emotions with humor ("Tough crowd", as if it was a comedy show). I've explained -again- why I didn't agree with their reasoning to go back to the topic.
And your answer double downs on agressivity... I'm out ✌️
In any case, you seem to have a lot of anger to pick up that kind of fight. Take care, buddy 🍀
Now you're tone policing. Just accept the critique of your pedantry and move on.
You're just proving my point 😘 Take care 🍀
