            • Claims to travel at the speed of light.

            • Still takes eight minutes to get here.

        Elections are slower than light waves so technically you have a slow, shitty router, but at least it can electrocute people so that’s something.

        The medium that the laser goes through could slow it down, but it would still be insanely fast.

        Actually, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, but light travels slower through a medium, like air. So lasers shot through air will actually travel slower than c.

          (For anyone curious, the speed of light in earth air is like 99.97% as fast as in vacuum)
