TIL that once your GPS unit realizes it is traveling faster than 1200mph (1900kmph) at an altitude higher than 60,000ft (18,000m), it will automatically shut itself down in fear that it is being used in an intercontinental ballistic missile-like application.

me, trying to find the aldi’s at 2 am in my 747 commercial airliner: fucking this again

well where is the missile gonna go if the GPS isn’t guiding it? it’s still gonna crash into something just not the right thing. this doesn’t solve anything

[tulpa2]

the GPS should have a boomerang mechanism and reroute itself to crash into person sending it instead
