alt text is supposed to describe the image for people who are visually impaired, that’s just a caption

edit: didn’t know what I was talking about, xkcd has a specific thing called alt text that’s different from what I was describing, my bad lol

Alt text on XKCD posts is the label that displays when you hover over the post on their website, it’s not something that the user has added.

Putting it into reverse requires you to stop first.

i think you could theoretically drift to maintain velocity in a different axis while accelerating in reverse to technically not ever “stop”

You could reverse down the road, or would there be a moment between forwards and backwards when you’re stopped?

Stopping isn’t the same as driving at 0 speed.

A car is stopped if and only if its acceleration is also 0.

And velocity is 0. Otherwise Johnny 100kmph is technically stopped

It’s not a u-turn if you skid into a wicked 540
