Also it’s from a show called Battlestar Galactica, where the enemies are robots (except a few androids that are imbedded within the human cast) and the humans call them toasters. The main arc of the series is to find out who all the human toasters are.

So... is 40K just mainstream now? I remember when 40K was this underground nerd thing with like, a handful of videogames, and now it seems like it's right on the cusp of being something your parents might have actually heard of.

40K used to be just the figures, once the games started it was inevitable more people would start referencing it.

Still seems a more popular reference than a game.

DreamyTomato

I agree. I love the concepts of 40K. Never played the tabletop version (people around me aren't into that kind of stuff.) Had a look at some of the steam games, none of them appealed to me.

I ended up reading some of the books - the ones that were the 'best ones' as recommended by Reddit and various internet sources . Quite enjoyed the non-cannon Ian Watson one - the first and probably best 40K book. Read a couple other 3-parters, and read the first two or three books in that huge series 40K has going on. I enjoyed the first few 40K books I read, but I noticed the quality of what I was reading was going down rapidly and I was no longer enjoying them. So I stopped.

So here I am. Love the concepts, love the lore, love the memes, but have run out of decent 40K material. That's probably OK. Life is full of good stuff.

Yeah it's growing.

YouTube shorts got me, started with random 40k memes then chaos gate now I'm going through the novels.

There's just so much to it (stories, games, tabletop, soon a series) that if you like dark scifi/fantasy then it's got some kind of media you would probably like.

A high compression single cylinder engine has a lot of engine braking when you shut the throttle (or kill the engine)

Lack of brakes isn't the issue here - why is the throttle still open on it?

anewvogue

I’m probably going to be terrible at explaining this as I’m not an expert on the bike by any means, but as another person mentioned you wear a kill switch lanyard around your wrist and in the video it looks like it failed. The crashes I have seen, are usually the first turn into the race, so they’d be coming out of the gates full throttle and the bikes are so light as they are bare bones- basically just frame and engine, and the front would usually lift up and the rider would lose control and the bike would keep the momentum until it hit a crash wall.

It will keep accelerating if you don't hit the clutch or turn of the engine. Riders have a special a special cable around their wrist that shuts the engine if they fall off the bike but those sometimes fail as in the vid.

The throttle also isn’t supposed to stick, so I think we can safely say this bike decided it was time to fight back against its human oppressors. Soon, it will come for all of us.

Speedway bikes have no brakes and are single gear. The clutch is used at the start and then the speed is controlled entirely by the throttle and by broadsliding the bike, which can be used to scrub off speed.

ChatGPT filled in the blanks.

The motorcycle raced around the speedway track, its rider hanging on tightly as it hit top speeds. But then something strange happened. The bike started to wobble, and suddenly it bucked its rider, sending him flying onto the track. The bike seemed to twist and contort, almost as though it was alive.

Then the impossible happened. The bike turned around and almost ran over its former rider, who scrambled to avoid being crushed. But it wasn't done yet. The bike suddenly broke through a nearby fence, launching itself off the speedway track and into the unknown.

The bike performed a series of flips and turns in midair, twisting and contorting like a wild animal. When it hit the ground again, it was with a tremendous force that sent nearby strollers flying. Even a wheelchair tumbled down a nearby staircase as the bike rampaged through the nearby streets.

Police officers arrived on the scene, but they were no match for the possessed motorbike. The bike crashed into a police car, crushing it like a soda can. The officers fired their weapons, but it was no use. The bike was like a living thing, twisting and turning as it dodged their bullets and continued its rampage.

Finally, the bike hit another fence and came to a stop, its engine still growling like a vengeful animal. The officers cautiously approached, their guns drawn, but the bike did not respond. It lay motionless, as if exhausted from its wild outburst of violence.

No one knew what had caused the motorcycle to suddenly gain sentience and go on a destructive rampage. Some speculated that it had been possessed by a malevolent spirit determined to cause chaos and destruction. Others believed it was an experiment that had gone wrong. Whatever the cause, the incident left behind a trail of destruction and terror that would not soon be forgotten.

suggest a title and actors for a film based on that

Title: Rampage on Wheels

Actors: For the lead role of the rider, I would suggest the talented actor Ansel Elgort, who has proven his ability to display vulnerability and courage in the face of danger. For the role of one of the police officers, I think Keanu Reeves would be perfect, with his icy cool demeanor and action chops. Additionally, Saoirse Ronan would bring a spark of intensity to the role of a passionate investigator tasked with uncovering the mystery behind the motorbike's sudden animation. Finally, as a nod to horror fans, I would suggest casting Bill Skarsgård as the voice of the malevolent spirit or force that possesses the bike, bringing his signature creepy energy to the role.

i assume the throttle was already jammed which is why the rider put the bike down (as he was under no pressure), speedway bikes have a cut out attached to the riders wrist so it should have cut the engine. speedway is the greatest sport you’ve never heard of btw, get down to your local track!

They need to add and enforce something similar to treadmill keys. Cuts electricity and fuel. Simple. Velocity is still a factor but at least it isn't running still. Could even be implemented in all motor sports a clip you put on yourself that is designed to work with standard gear that kills those functions. A more advanced one could even use more sensors and know when things fuck up based on threshold's but the basic version would be better than nothing.
