Is it one plane flying into 5 sky scrappers?
How do you scrap the sky?
With a scrapper

Sorry about that, I found it somewhere else without credit and completely forgot the art style was from XKCD.
I'll add it to the post.
fun fact: it's illegal to not credit them! see the creative commons license at the bottom.
This community is awesome.
Just reverse image search. Good god people need their hands held for everything.

Are you serious with your caption? The top row is the serious examples, the bottom row is the joke. XKCD is a comic strip that tells jokes occasionally.
They've probably just never seen a tandem 50 in a major city, it sounds made up.
Gotta swing 'er wide left then hard right for a turn on those tight city blocks.
Alt text: I wonder how hard it would be to ride an electric scooter in a hamster ball.
I wonder how hard it would be to stop...
Why would I stop?
And how hard it would be once you stopped...
The lower half is obviously nonsense. The future belongs to the 50 people tandem

...wonder how fast a 50-seater tandem bicycle could get going, assuming ideal conditions and riders.
How fast can it stop? I wouldn't want to first heading against a crossing or wall with 49 people pushing the pedals behind me.
At least 12
Chatgpt says
Professional Cyclists: Elite professional cyclists can produce power outputs of 300 to 400 watts during races, with peak efforts exceeding 1,000 watts for short bursts (like sprinting).
Time Trials and Climbs: During time trials or climbs, trained cyclists can maintain higher power outputs for extended periods, often around 350 to 450 watts for well-trained athletes.
But then it tells me 40km/h assuming 400W which is obviously wrong. I guess you'd have to model that "tandem" in CAD and simulate the airflow to get accurate drag numbers
What if these 50 people are clowns and all they have is one Fiat Uno?
Realistically, the 50 people riding a bus scenario will become 50 people riding a bus with rest of the road space occupied by 16-wheelers or other large transportation trucks
I don’t get it, are you confused or doubtful?
Why wouldn't the wolves just eat everything?
Because they don't like cabbages
“My cabbages!”
