so I remember reading a long time ago that people actually swerve more to hit turtles on the road then they would snakes. And as
a firm believer in the scientific method I decided to test out this hypothesis
So I got a rubber turtle and a rubber snake I also got a rubber tarantula to spice things up a little bit. I basically
alternated placing each on the shoulder of the Road and
I
counted cars and
meticulously collected data
So here's what I found
Put into my relatively small sample size about thousand cars
ninety-four percent of all drivers are totally boring. They didn't do anything
They just drove by, but the remaining six percent are cold-blooded rubber animal killers
So now if we take this 6% and we break it down
Tarantulas definitely got the most next was snakes and then turtles so as you can see right here
We have to reject our hypothesis snakes actually get run over more than turtles so don't believe everything you read
so we also had a leaf here nobody hit it and I use that as a control but since it was 0% on the leaf
You can assume that these pretty much were intentional hits. Killers vehicle of choice trucks and Suv
89% very Few were actually cars
so occasionally someone would be cool and they would stop and pull over and
Save what they thought was a real animal, and you can see here turtles. Definitely got saved the most and then snakes
Tarantulas. I'm gonna be honest you need a new P.R. firm you got saved
exactly as many times as somebody saved the leaf which is none usually they would just stop and throw rocks at you and
Then run you over anyways
so of the animal Savers
96% totally cool people
there's even one lady who pulled over to save the snake and
She started bowling with plums
And the actions here from this guy from animal control
Really serves as an important reminder that you cannot be too cautious when dealing with the rubber turtle
four percent however are
Pony tailed science haters, so you see this guy right, pulls over
he's being cool. He's gonna save the snake that's cool, but then he starts to walk off with it, so I let him know "hey
That's my snake"
"I'm right here." Now, I know this might be a bit surprising based off his appearance
but in hindsight,"I'm trying to do some science here" I might have overestimated his love of the sciences, so
even though we disproved our hypothesis. It's kind of a fun experiment, and it actually kind of got me thinking
What's up with this 1%? what kind of person actually hits a turtle even the cartoons the turtles are always the nice ones
Wait a second
pull that clip back
Now play it forward
Freeze zoom in on the driver and go ahead and run the enhance algorithm
What do you mean? There's no such thing?
This is Hollywood if you use a fancy word like algorithm. You can pretty much do whatever you want
Have you ever even seen an episode of CSI?
Just as I suspected
Up to your old tricks again a shredder you crazy old coot
It's time to let it go old friend. Let it go
Finally zoom in on that backseat run the shadow lightning on multiplexer
multiplexer mmM
Is Bebop and Rocksteady the classic blundering sidekicks?
