For the Americans, that's 3.84 football fields per minute; or a football field every 15⅝ seconds.

What is it in half pickup trucks?

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Real quick math: ~7,139 of my truck (Ford F150 lightning at 19ft 5in), so 14,278 half pickup trucks in a marathon.

Can I get it in 1984 F-250 XLTs? That's the only truck I've personally owned.

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Sure. Just need some info about the options: regular or super cab, and which bumper it had. Seems like it was always the 8ft bed though.

Does that include the endzones?

[–] Botzo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Negative. I did debate on which distance to use.

As an American, this whole thread was funny. Thanks!

I doubt that helps. Most can't read and of them most can't count. You're left with very few that understand what you said
