30 second advert. fuck this

on the empire state building there is more gravity pull while the penny travelling down. But acceleration does count so idk

I went to the top of a 10 story building and tried dropping a penny in a stairwell where you could see all they way to the bottom. It sorta falls like a leaf where it wobbles all over the place.

If only I could punch at that speed...

if i made the sidewalks in front of the empire state building, I would put pennies inside of the concrete sticking out barely for sure.

What do you get when you combine home depot with youtube? A bunch of pissed off youtubers. FUCK ADS.

I was told this story in the early 1960s, that a penny would embed itself in concrete.

I don't know if I believed it or not.

But obviously it's not true. That's a relief.

what the fuck!!!! a fucking penny thrown from the empire state would not reach terminal velocity because coins flip, so speed would decrease. use common sense, there is no need to test it.
