    When you think of Sonic, the first thing that comes to mind is SPEED. This hedgehog is CRAZY FAST. But....is that speed dangerous? Could Sonic's speed ACTUALLY be hurting him? We've already talked about how "fast" he, now we are going to see what are the consequences. Today Loyal Theorists, we are going to find out if Sonic's speed is his worst enemy.

    "Maybe we shouldn't be revisiting this era of history."
    Me: *Glances back to see 2018 CZcams, Catch Me Outside Girl, Logan Paul, Yodeling Kid, and the current state of politics.*
    Me: "Prep the time machine, this current timeline's a lost cause."
    Note: Thanks for the THOUSANDS upon THOUSANDS of likes. While this is a pessimistic joke, I'd like to note that it is a good thing we can identify such problems (Yodeling Kid might get a pass, he seems liked enough) and therefore be better in the future. Also, this reply thread has gotten so big, that it takes a solid minute to load it. It may be too much, but let's see how far we can go with it...

      Yeah, it's true, oddly. At the beginning of the climax between Sonic and Robotnik, he does in fact say something that amounts to "Running like that is bad for your joints. IT'S BEEN PROVEN!!!" It really does seem like a direct reference to this video. Amused the heck out of me, talk about a deep-dive reference. I mean it doesn't accurately describe the take-home, here, but I think it's as accurate as you can get without ruining the joke.

      Quick Answer: Barry Allen may be known for his superspeed, but just how fast can he run? Unfortunately for fans, it's not quite the speed of light. According to The Flash, Allen's top speed is Mach 3.3, or 2,532 miles per hour.

      @@lasercraft32I agree. Sonic is not human so we can’t really tell how strong his bones would need to be to shatter. We also don’t know his anatomy. My (game) theory is that sonic was created by the chaos emeralds themselves and that’s where all of the energy he has comes from, it also explains why sonic can use super sonic more often than other characters the emeralds call to him, it also helps explain the lack of parents or siblings in the main timeline (I know he has parents and siblings in the comics and sonic underground but those don’t count)

    After watching your work now for the past few days (I'm new)...I can honestly say you have the best channel on CZcams. Not only are your episodes funny and highly entertaining but the educational merits are what really makes this channel a cut above the rest. I work in academia and I know first hand that it's not easy teaching groups of people new concepts. This is especially true when it comes to math, the bane of my existence. You my friend have a gift and I'm proud to share this channel with everyone I know.
    Addendum- I'm a huge Sonic The Hedgehog fan that started playing at the very beginning in 1991. Nothing you said in this video was offensive too my 16-bit sensibilities. Even if you had, we're talking about video games here and it's all in good fun. Everyone needs to take a chill pill.

      Well taking Sonic 2's speed into consideration, his velocity is just under 3x the velocity in free fall (aka gravity) for 3 seconds. This meaning that if you were to fall on your face onto the ground for a little less than 3 whole seconds, that would be the same as if Sonic 2 ran into a wall.

    Hi Matpat! I watched your livestream and you mentioned Skip peeing around the house. I actually have a solution for that. Simply put another litterbox where he pees the most and he will pee in the box instead of the floor.
    Also, if he's scratching furniture, (don't declaw, it's actually VERY painful for the cat) put scratch posts nearby. Test out different scratch posts and see which one he likes best so he will use that instead of ur furniture.
    That is my advice to you. I know litter boxes and scratch posts aren't pretty but it will be better then having stains and holes everywhere. Plus, Skip will be happier
    (P.S. I love you guys)
