How to build a plane

When I designed physics exam questions I tried to make them such that if the answer was wrong people in the problem could die.
wrote last edited by [email protected]It’s more fun when the problem involves them dying anyway.
[Introducing KE formula] “Would you rather be hit by a semi truck or a lime scooter? What if the lime scooter is going really fast and the semi truck is just slowly moving through the parking lot?”
“If I drop [student who is currently on their phone] out of an airplane, ignoring air resistance, how much kinetic energy will they have when they smack into the ground? Is that an “elastic” or “inelastic” collision?”
Or “spaghettification” when doing gravity. Or “yeah, if a gamma ray burst happened to point at earth, it would wipe out all of human civilization.” Or “if the sun went out we wouldn’t know for about 8 minutes.”
Physics is phun.
And you have to traumatize them a little bit for lab safety. I remember my upper div physics lab back in undergrad started with like a full two hours of “these are all the ways you can die in here.” I always make sure to talk about Karen Wetterhahn in my own safety lectures.

But we do not make a huge batch at once then reheat it and refreeze it over and over again. I thought that to be obvious, that's why i chose the terms "reheat" and "freeze again".
you're taking it to such a literal degree.
take care

I think I, too, would stay on the plane. I pretty clearly designed a plane and made it's schematics, but I sure as shit never put hand-to-tool and riveted those hot bitching shags of metal into that soft aluminum skin that rippled so gently under my heated, pounding assault.
Plus, staff and security get pretty upset about a person leaving the plane once boarded, so I'll take my chances with the engines and landing gear over super lame cops with guns.

So he's gonna just... stay on the plane? Just sit there on a plane he knows isn't going to go anywhere?
Sounds like the students were the smart ones, they could at least go catch another flight.
It's a joke; you don't have to analyze it.

George of the jungle love it

The most sensual description of aircraft manufacturing I have ever read

Except that is the guy on a a flight in 2020 by himself when the airlines kept flying routes with empty planes so they didn't lose access to their routes.

I get it's an old
memejoke, but I think it's still pretty funny so why downvote it?It’s AI slop unless you have a source. Pretty low energy meme.

Thanks for the clarification. I am always suspect.

I don't understand... Do engineering students build commercial airliners now, or...? I mean it would explain Boeing I guess.
It's not a "did you know" but instead a joke as old as air travel.

The name of that teacher: Albert Einstein.
The students were the founding fathers before the revolution.

I think he's just trying to prove your point about the number of autists on lemmy...

lol this is probably older than both of us together

That's probably when I downloaded this meme lol.

Definitly not AI slop, I downloaded this meme long before people were using generative AI to make shit tier memes. This is probably from 2020-2021.

I can confirm, this was low-effort. Someone has to do it though.
