    Strava is the best for this. Screenshot of Strava creating exponentially more mountain biking travel than I actually did, yet in the same amount of time.

    (I still don’t understand how to load images here)

      This is more about the weird pathing and not the distance, but here’s what it looks like when I have a bouldering session. Apparently I spend a lot of time outside and pass through walls.

        Kind of goes haywire when cell signal drops out. Might be in a brick or concrete building? Mine was in an area of the mountains where using the phone was doomed. I’ve been using a garmin since and it never does this. In a pinch, I used my phone on a hike the other day, and next to big boulder, it did the same thing you’re showing, sent and impossibly straight line up a mountain.

          Also you can add a text description of the image between the brackets if you’d like. It helps blind people.

            Oh, so it becomes alt text? That’s brilliant. It just disappeared but I didn’t realize what happened. Or I’m misunderstanding (not seeing the text). Nope, I see it if I click on show source.

        Fractions of a fraction of a second. Barry can run much much faster than light and at light speed this distance would take ~1.6 seconds.

        Edit: corrected my incorrect math because i read mi as meters

          This is clearly a comma-is-thousands number of miles (as is consistent with places that use miles).

          It’s 1.66 seconds at light speed.

            Yeah, I read mi as m at first. Doesn’t really change the statement since Barry can run trillions of times faster than light.
