I hadn't seen that, definitely worth a hearty chuckle

all the other complex and important factors aside, air restistance is a formula of speed squared. Meaning for example if you bump speed up by 40% you double air resistance, and therefore double the energy cost of transport.

isn’t that somewhat denying their ability to make their own decisions?

Somewhat, yes, and that's by design.
Kids under a certain age should not be held responsible for making all of their own life decisions. When kids grow up, if their parents doesn't suck, they get succesively more agency and responsibility, not making all of your own decisions is just part of being a kid.

Oh no, I was ready to pick up my pitchfork, but that is super legible. Brb, I need to go take a look at myself in the mirror...

I saw a lot of people saying they used bots to rewrite their entire post history to things like "fuck /u/spez"

I'm thinking that amount of comment editing might be quite the spike on the servers.

this is the future nerds like me have been imagining since the early 2000's

hahah thats ridiculous, removing the last thing that made it actually bearable on mobile, now of all times...
