“We expected that they fly around each other and they never have physical contact,” Hristov said. “We have found, shocking to us, that bats crash into each other quite often. It’s a messy situation, but generally it’s very safe and it works very well.”

This implies a ideal gas law for bats, an ideal bat law, bat liquid, bat solid, and bat plasma

Cricket might know a thing or two about the bat law

I have a better question - why isn’t this posted in the !bats@lemmy.world community? We would love it here. Stealing and crossposting now.
RmDebArc_5@piefed.zip 2 days ago
I simply wasn’t aware of the community, I’ll remember it next time
ickplant@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It’s definitely a much smaller community than lemmyshitpost, but we love anything bat-related!

The 50 pedestrians vs 50 people in a bus is messing with my brain.
Dicska@lemmy.world 1 day ago
50 pedestrians the way they prefer it. A bus with 50 people on board, where everyone is in each other’s personal space.
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 days ago
Yeah they must really be crammed in there.

Double decker?
uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 20 hours ago
A single-story coach has seats for about 50 people. Low-floor city busses a little less, but you can get 50 in there with people standing
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 day ago
that’s gonna be one hell of a smush in the cage match
wieson@feddit.org 1 day ago
The pedestrians are just standing further apart. In the hustle and bustle of a shopping street they might be closer together.
moseschrute@lemmy.world 1 day ago
So a bus is more space efficient than pedestrians?
kapulsa@feddit.org 1 day ago
Often times, yes. Because sitting/standing requires less space than walking and that makes up for the extra space of the bus.
moseschrute@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I guess walking is like humans being in a gas state, and riding a bus is humans arranging themselves into a solid. But idk what liquid humans would be lol
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 day ago
They can hook up little butt fans to the seats so when you fart they can whisk away your flatus rather than making everyone fester in your stank. I mean they don’t but they can. Like how they do for astronaut ass
PearOfJudes@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
If we ever run out of room for humans to walk around I think we’re cooked busses or not.

Yeah, fuck busses. Bats are way more eco friendly.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 day ago
you can make them eat other bugs too it’s so eco friendly
rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 1 day ago
You will certainly not regret having 150,000 bats.

It’s more efficient to stack pedestrians on top of each other.

The nice part about riding the bus is you can kick back, relax, and smoke a ton of weed while you travel.

ickplant@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Imagine the amount of mosquitos you could fit if they were inside in the bats’ bellies! They eat like their weight in bugs every night.
dumbass@piefed.social 2 days ago
Yeah but you have that wasted space where all the bats flesh and bones are, that could be used to fill with more mosquitoes.

Those humans are quite large.

Much larger than bats.

Because its awful to go on public transport. Are you kidding me? You dont understand why people like cars?
For the same reason people like their own apartment or their own house. Other people are awful to be around.
xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
What if…WHAT IF public transport is funded and improved upon?
1984@lemmy.today 1 day ago
It will have other people.

Objection@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
Driving requires you to be constantly alert, and if you screw up or don’t react fast enough, you can straight up die because of it. On a bus, you can be on your phone, read a book, take a nap, whatever. Driving is a much worse experience and even if public transit takes more time, that’s time that can be used doing things. That’s before factoring the cost (the car itself, gas, insurance), the environmental impact, parking, etc.
1984@lemmy.today 1 day ago
Sounds like you like the bus, thats great. Good for you.

I guess that must be why living in Vienna gives you such a terribly low quality of life, as more trips are done by PT than by car and half the people don’t even own a car (most of them could easily afford one), compared to for example Fake London in Canada.
1984@lemmy.today 1 day ago
I dont live in Vienna. There are actually other countries in the world and life is quite different depending on where you live. Thats why people dont have just one opinion about there things.

And now the traffic report:
“I’m over Ventura Blvd., and all the vampires walking in the Valley are heading west.”
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 2 days ago
What if, to save space over cars but keep the personal comfort, everyone had their own hiding place with entrance hidden by brick and rubble?
human@slrpnk.net 2 days ago
People could lay vertically in there hiding pods stacked on each other and we could put wheels on the bottom like those big baking sheet racks in commercial kitchens. But then we would need someone to push them…cue the bats.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 day ago
really? only 150 bats? are these fruit bats or fat american vampire bats. i would like to speak to mathematic’s manager please.
myotheraccount@lemmy.world 1 day ago
That’s 150 thousand bats
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 day ago
are these american thousands or are these weird european thousands with extra zeroes like their weird millions and billions tho. they have been getting sneaky beaky with their numbers, the way they count things all discrete like.

Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 day ago
Do they all want to go to the same place?
And, cannot the bats fly? Surely there could be far many more.
Speaking of flying, lets just have spaceships for everybody.
whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
Does it need to be a full-size bat, or can it be one of those mini replica bats? I bet you could fit at least twice as many of those bats.
SethTaylor@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Also, replace pedestrians with buses
Or… get way closer together… way… way closer… 😏
