This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Searching trebuchet launch velocities, I'm getting 30-70m/s (67-157mph, 110-250km/hr), so a decently fast car might actually have trebuchets beat here

Cars are limited to roads, trebuchets can go as the crow flies. So unless you literally work in a straight line from your house, the trebuchet probably wins.
