I never thought to ask before but is the 26° from the top of the slope or the bottom? Triangle expert here

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 16 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Consider that avalanches can occur starting around 25°

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 6 points 16 hours ago

Considering............

I like drawn triangles better

You can convert it to percentage to make the number sound bigger. It's almost 50%

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Is 100% a 45° angle?

We don't convert degrees into percentages in insulator school just minutes and seconds

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah. Doesn't it sound a lot more impressive like that?

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Not really lol I'm gonna have to get the angle finder out next work day and measure some hillsc

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 3 points 12 hours ago

please spraypaint your ratings onto the street. I'm hoping to come across a minor slope with "mid" scrawled on it one day
