OH İTS THE FUCKİNG LOSS COMİC

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)
  1. 5 which begins to overflow into the room
  2. 7
  3. 4 and 6
  4. 2 and 3
  5. 1

This is assuming this is a cross section of something 3d and not something 2d otherwise air packets would get trapped and prevent some of this.

5 and 4 are the only ones getting water other than 1 and 2. 3 has a solid line blocking the flow into it, and even if that wasn't there, since 4 has a hole/drain in the bottom and 5 can overflow, 3 can't fill enough to reach the outflow. 5 is the only one that can fill up.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Wrong! The room will begin filling with water from the overflow!

[–] Lennny@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Just pick this up and put it into a tub. Now they're all full. Take that math!

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 20 hours ago

But which first

All I know is, 7 is leaking out.

[–] SpermHowitzer@sh.itjust.works 5 points 15 hours ago

Dude, so dark… I love it.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 44 points 1 day ago (3 children)

5, but it also depends on the circumstances. What liquid is used, temperature, viscosity, etc. There's some material science stuff that's far beyond the intended scope of this question.

They are all full already, of air.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Depends on how much you turn on the tap. If you fürn it up completely its 1,else its 5.

[–] takenaps@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Depends on diameter of the pipes leading out too. They look small in the image, but if they're big enough to handle the max flow out of the faucet, 5 will still fill up first.

I wish these were drawn as closed containers

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Depends on how fast the liquid is flowing in.

Or, actually, can they even "fill"? These are 2D objects.

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is this that "loss" comic? Why is everyone mad?

I hate you so much right now. Also I think it's 5

[–] deadbeef79000 151 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's only 5. It just overflows.

[–] regnn@infosec.pub 66 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

Depends on the flow from the faucet.

If it is filling 1 faster then water can move between then order will be 1->2->5

If it is slow enough then just 5 fills.

Everything else will be dry. Between 2 to 3 is sealed too. Without lids there is a lot of issues.

None. The water is not running.

Unless I completely misunderstand how this works, I think 5 is the only one that will fill up. It then overflows, preventing any of the taller ones from filling. 7 is shallower but won't start filling until 3 gets fuller than 5, which it never will. This would be true whether the blockage between 2 and 3 is a mistake or not.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 66 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

You are correct and I agree, but look again.

At the comments.

Then at the image.

Forget all about the water, and the question.

If necessary, reread the title.

Groan.

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

Yeah I just got it seeing it for the second time in my feed lol

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Please help. I have nightmares of being in a room where everyone else is just waiting patiently for me to remember the thing I forgot/figure out what is happening.

Help

5 will be the only one that will ever fill up unless you really crank up the pressure in which case 7 will also fill but very slowly. 5 and 7 are open containers and there's a hole in the bottom of 4. But if it's water coming out of a tap then only 5 will fill .

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The connection between 2 and 3 is blocked.

1 can also fill up if the flow from the faucet is higher than what can exit through the pipe connecting to 2.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

this is right. Even if 2 to 3 is open.

The only other candidate is 1. If the faucet has much higher flow than the pipe from 1 to 2 can drain away, then 1 can fill up faster than it drains.

This diagram scratches my brain real good, especially thinking about it getting filled

All of them are already full of air.

Wouldn't scale and viscosity play a role? Seriously, imagine a river vs a capillary tube. Also how many dimensions? And forces involved? Is that a blockage between 2 and 3? Are the walls breakable? How will the fluid hold air? Are the lines into structure 5 lower than the walls? Is this in a vacuum?

1 fills up first. the spigot is much winder than the tube so the glass will fill faster than it can drain.

Also rule

I actually started to figure out the sequence...then I realized...fuck you, take my up vote

I got it! First, the free floating faucet will drop into bucket one. The impact will certainly break its connecting tube and broken 1 + faucet collapse into 4. Therefore 4 will be broken but full of shards.
