"In a frictionless vacuum"

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

A spherical cow of uniform density in a frictionless vacuum.

I know how to solve this, but my solution only works for spherical cubes in a vacuum.

Huh, I thought cats were a liquid.

Put it in a box. Problem solved.

Anyone seen Space Truckers?

The only thing I remember from that movie is the gas powered wang

Of papa Lannister, no less.

Is cube a simple shape in physics? It' 3-dimensional and It's gonna do all sort of crazy flips due to aerodynamics and moment of inertia. I would prefer a 1-dimensional point like cat.

[-] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

How would a point like cat be one dimensional? It would be zero dimensional. A one dimensional cat would be a line.

[-] datelmd5sum@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

sorry. 0-dimensional cat moving in 2-dimensional space.

Weren't the cats 3 dimensional? Dude this water sure is messing my percepcion of reality, for a moment I really tought we were living in a capitalist dystopia, uff.

I prefer 'cubiform', but I never realized that cubicle could be an adjective.

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Not spelled that way

[-] CyberTailor@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

There was a newspaper article about flying cats, where journalists assumed them flat and rectangular to simplify calculations

[-] Driveway4964@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

TIL that cubicle is an adjective and a noun. I was calling things "cube like" until now

[-] Instigate@aussie.zone 16 points 2 years ago

Cubicle is the noun (mini office); cubical is the adjective (having cube-like properties). :)

[-] Driveway4964@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Oh, the spelling difference got me. Thank you!
