minus-squareDarkCloud@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-27 days agoYour linked source doesn’t appear to list that number (It lists 8 cm a minute). Perhaps you (or a large language model, if you’re using one) has it mixed up with this: “Snails have been measured at speeds of 0.048 kilometres per hour.” From this source. Also, 1 cm tall would be a very small snail… Approximately the size of your smallest fingernail.
minus-squarethebestaquaman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-27 days ago8 cm/min * 60 min/h * 1e-5 km/cm = 0.0048 km/h If I’m not completely mistaken. I’ll admit that the “1 cm tall” is guesstimated based on my memory of the snails in my garden.
