For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

a modest top speed of 15 km/h, similar to the speed of walking or a moderate biking pace

who tf is out here walking at 15km/h

Pretty sure the writer meant “running” but since they were trying to convey slowness WRT top speed, their brain instinctively swapped in the more appropriate-sounding word for their intent.

It’s a common human language error, examples of which I find increasingly charming.

I like that they wrote that the walking speed was comparable to a moderate bike pace lmao, like even if you don't know the numbers that's just obviously wrong

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

my bicycle has a "walking speed" button on the motor's controls. it goes 2mph (a little above 3 kph) and sometimes that's too fast. they have no clue.

Thanks for this. I was wondering if Yugo started production again - this time with a sub-subcompact. ‘Not sure what name would have been appropriate though.
