No, it’s correct for normal people. Normal people are pretty bad at spelling.

haha true

Your correct.

The pedal on the right.

False. It’s an Alpha Romeo, those are all just oil dispensers

On higher trim levels, one of those pedals is actually dedicated to shorting electrical harnesses

Pretty sure the left pedal is the clutch, not the brake. And the steering wheel doesn’t accellerate.

JeSuisUnHombre@lemm.ee on 27 May 14:10 next collapse

Acceleration is a vector quantity that is defined as the rate at which an object changes its velocity. An object is accelerating if it is changing its velocity.

A change in direction is a change in velocity

zaphod@sopuli.xyz on 27 May 14:13 collapse

It changes the direction of the velocity vector, but not the magnitude.

DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz on 27 May 14:14 collapse

Which is an example of acceleration.

Meanwhile me noob in physics:-

Left pedal looks more like a dead pedal to me.

And as others have said, change in direction is still acceleration. That’s part of Newton’s (apocryphal?) apple story — he witnessed an apple falling, and wondered why the moon doesn’t also fall. His amazing insight is that it does fall (accelerate), it’s just that it falls in such a way that it orbits, rather than hits, the Earth (for timescales relevant to a human).

Agree 100% on the dead petal. Every manual transmission ive owned has the clutch and a footrest, so it actually appears to be 4 pedals if you dont know what youre looking at

Yeah that post looks like a car flying, to me. Or… I am mistaken.

Any other car and it would have been an “meh” meme, the Alfa badge and the misspelling make it so much better, well played!

Lateral accelerator, parallel forward accelerator, and parallel reverse accelerator

Finally, someone called manual transmission “normal”!
