One day I had a thought. (Dangerous, I know.) What if I could build a machine that took me up into the air and decoupled my inertia from the rotation of the Earth. So I would cease to move in sync with the Earth's rotation. Then I thought this could be a way to travel around the Earth. I wanted to know how long it would take to go around the Earth. So I got the circumference of the Earth and divided it by the surface speed of the Earth. I was really excited at this point.

40075 km ÷ 1670 km/hr = 23.997 hours

Oh ... yeah ... 24 hours. I guess the math checks out.

And this is why we need dev ducks.

    Those machines already exist, you know. No need to build one yourself.

    Doesn't the entire galaxy also speed through existence? Wouldn't want to accidentally let go of that

    @alexbrooklyn The original idea came from an anti-inertia machine. I realized pretty quick that if such a device could be built it would more dangerous than a nuclear weapon potentially.

    decoupling your inertia wouldn't do much, since that's already like 90% happening just by you stopping to touch the ground.
