the account formerly known as Lunaas of 2022, the US birth rate is 0.63459 mph

brocolie (tots not a vampire)@luna there has to be a joke somewhere in here about how USians will measure things with anything except the metric system XD

Peter Gordon 🇺🇦@luna and yet it has stayed at a constant 0 kilometres per hour 🤔
Ólafur Waage@luna hear me out, find an engine sound and tune it to the height of the graph and make a video, because it looks like a car slowly revving their engine to go many miles per hour.
Kit Lotor@luna and yet, it’s also 0 feet per second
…or .25 feet per second, depending on what metric you’re looking at. But, .25 feet per second would be .17 mph, so none of these match up
Vx. Princess "size_t queen" Grace 
@BestGirlGrace @luna it’s one baby every 8 seconds though, not 8 babies every second
Jeff Miller (orange hatband)@luna The "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum" effect? Or the " 'Round About Midnight " effect?
anotherandrew@luna I was sure this was going to be moms per hour.
\u2014@luna I only very recently found out that the name of Sonic's sidekick, Miles "Tails" Prower IS A PUN ON MILES-PER-HOUR HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS BEFORE?
yaoi gagarin@luna so what's the birth rate in Miles Prower per hour?
Allan Chow
the vessel of morganna@luna top quality muricaposting
Matthew Martin@luna This will slow down and level off at 669600000 miles per hour.
Tim Richards@luna I bet the "Kilometres" rate is lower
Am I?@luna
This made me laugh so hard!

The Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) (Official Music Video)
Official video forThe Proclaimers - "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" from the album 'Sunshine on Leith'LyricsWhen I wake up, well, I know I'm gonna beI'm gonna be ...
Mike Hucka@luna I can't stop laughing at this
lioness (stuff)@luna Miles Davis was born in 1926 & was active musically from ~1945 on. checks out!
Steven Bodzin@luna and considerably slower in mileys per hour
Gaelan Steele
Scott Perry@luna @evan Clear correlation with airing of #DeepSpaceNine. Nope, you can't convince me otherwise! 😉
notsoloud@luna
Let me ruin this by with seriousity:
How popular was Looking for Alaska (protagonist Miles 'Pudge' Halter) in the US?
It came out 2005, so people who read it at an impressionable age (aka High School) should have seriously entered the new parent population since then.
('Alaska' has a total US pop of 107, so didn't catch on, perhaps understandably)
Frames White@luna the framerate remains extremely low however.
Hardy@luna LMAO
My eyes somehow directly went to "Birth Rate (Miles/Hour)" without the context of "Miles" being a name.
I already started asking questions like "wait, why are they calculating the average velocity of birth??" "Wait why is it going up?!"
This is great
Tom Armstrong@luna I doubt it's peaked, either, even with all the existential threats we're currently facing.
So, there are still Miles to go before we sleep.
Arnaud@luna this graph is kind of blue.
Marcus Sonestedt@luna i was thinking length of babies per hour. 😂
Moose Jolly Holcomb@luna wonder how many of those kids are named after Tails.
David Philippi - DN9DPO
David Frew@luna WELL DONE ! This so stupid, it is actually ridiculously funny.

It seems like no small coincidence that the speed of this graph seems to increase around the time of Sonic 2 coming out, then gets progressively faster as more games are released...
Gotta go Fast.
Daniel DeCovnick@luna you can really see the dropoff when Miles O’Brien goes from TNG as an everyman engineer to DS9 where the plot off practically every 5th episode was “The Irishman must suffer.”
amelia@luna will miles morales make it increase
S Aufrecht@[email protected] Very different numbers in the metric system. Assuming 50-cm babies, (3,600,000 × 0.5) / 86,400 = 21 meters/hour. Even globally, the birth rate is only about 0.8km/hr, so almost anyone could still outwalk the line, and that's assuming they would even lay straight.
ibk@luna my hack of your code produces results that only make sense if you know someone called Katie who likes to abbreviate their name as “KT”, AND you have a bit of a nautical bent.
But here it is anyway: the US is increasing at fewer kts than at any time in the last 50 years.

HenkPoley@luna Should graph babies born named 'kilometres' per hour as well 😉
LeoNerd@luna The rate is clearly increasing. What's the acceleration in miles per hour per year? :)
Chris Howlett@luna It would appear I know the Miles that prompted this.
Christian Gebhard@luna Brilliant! 😂
Jamie@luna i have to wonder if the rise started with the introduction of the character Miles O'Brien in Star Trek.
