This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Faster travel > everything else
trebuchet > car
Searching trebuchet launch velocities, I'm getting 30-70m/s (67-157mph, 110-250km/hr), so a decently fast car might actually have trebuchets beat here
Cars are limited to roads, trebuchets can go as the crow flies. So unless you literally work in a straight line from your house, the trebuchet probably wins.
We talking bandwidth or latency?
