26 degrees is like the steepest mountain road you could run into, steeper than the wonkiest of hillside driveways.
What if this guy being a cybertruck driver and all mistook 26% slope grade as 26 degrees? Would be even funnier because 26 degrees is a genuinely steep slope but 26% is like 14 degrees which is quite manageable.
I didn't think of that lol
I think I'll offer him the benefit of the doubt but still
I never thought to ask before but is the 26° from the top of the slope or the bottom? Triangle expert here
A flat surface would be 0°, so it's from the bottom of the slope.
26 doesn't seem so bad then. If it was 26 from the top that may as well be straight down.
64° from the top sounds fine
Most humans start to freak out and scream when a car is at ~15-20° bank angle. Some SUVs flip over at 30° bank angle. The steepest street on the planet is 35°.
Hiking trails are usually around 20-25°. You usually need to help yourself up with your hands when the slope goes beyond 40°.
Angles are a lot steeper in reality than what you think if you just look at the numbers.
Well, in that case, i still love the truck
Consider that avalanches can occur starting around 25°
Considering............
I like drawn triangles better
You can convert it to percentage to make the number sound bigger. It's almost 50%
Is 100% a 45° angle?
We don't convert degrees into percentages in insulator school just minutes and seconds
Yeah. Doesn't it sound a lot more impressive like that?
Not really lol I'm gonna have to get the angle finder out next work day and measure some hillsc
please spraypaint your ratings onto the street. I'm hoping to come across a minor slope with "mid" scrawled on it one day
Bottom I believe
