You’re laughing. Flat earthers are rediscovering Aristotelian physics from first principles and you’re laughing.
If Bugs Bunny drops an iron anvil from the top of a building into a pool of liquid mercury the anvil will fall through the surrounding medium of less dense air but will float in the liquid mercury bc mercury has a density nearly twice that of iron.
“Gravity” is retarded.
Community note
The only thing this video proves is that iron is less dense than mercury.
It does nothing to disprove gravity.
Also gravity is a factor in the formula for buoyancy

“If you’re depressed, move to a small rural town. You know, the type of place where suicide is notoriously rare”
apparently this is a legitimate solution to suicidal thoughts:
“If you wanna kill yourself I get it. But before you do just try this ONE last thing and if it doesn’t work you can kill yourself
Sell everything, quit your job, pick a random small town on the middle of nowhere and move there. Get any job u can find, even just at the local diner.”

An underrated genius of Sam’s performance here was his choice of prompts.
Many of his claims were like “Trump will do X” where X is very unpopular and he ended up baiting the conservatives there to instead argue “X is good actually”

Chestnut is coming out of that hotdog portion with like a 20 second lead at least, Usain Bolt gets smoked.

why would we be at the center of our observable universe? truly mysteries like this can only be explained by a Creator.
Aristotle was right. The Earth is at the center of the universe.
Community note
Since the speed of light is limited, we can only observe as far as light has been able to travel since the universe formed. This "observable universe" is centered on the observer, and thus every position in the universe is the center of its own observable universe.

This is the tip of the iceberg. Other Trumpisms that have seeped into everyday language:
* Many are saying this
* So true!
* Sad!
* Thank you X, very cool
* make X Y again (obviously)
* concepts of a plan
* big if true

Democrats demand universal free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack for kids in school fxn.ws/3LRlWdG
Community note
The proposed scheme has bipartisan support.
Free meals would only be available in schools where 40% or more of the school population is eligible for free or reduced-price meals.
Costing would be similar to the schemes used during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you’ve ever tracked calories before, you know there’s about a zero percent chance this thing is remotely accurate
Two teenagers built a nutrition app using just a camera.
No funding. No team. No ads.
12 months later? $8M in ARR.
Just snap a meal photo—get calories, macros, and portions.
No barcodes. No logging.
This is how Cal AI quietly took over food tracking.

There’s so many levels to this.
(1) Hamas was elected by a plurality, not a majority
(2) The last election was in 2006. 50% of Gazans are under 18. Do the math.
(3) All this aside, targeting civilians would still be evil.
Fact check: the majority of Palestinian people in Gaza elected Hamas, which ran on a kill-all-the-Jews platform; and it remains widely popular in Gaza.
Community note
The last elections in Palestine were held in 2006.

Abstract reasoning development is good, actually
A problem from my 12yo’s math.
We are firmly past what 99% of adults ever need to know and clearly into abstract reasoning development.
Most people should stop math education in middle school. They know enough and further math instruction is a waste of time and frustrating.
