Because of the weight of the ends of the forks, and how they’re distributed behind the penny (closer to the glass), the center of gravity of the whole system is actually shifted quite significantly. If I’m right, it would actually have to be right where the penny meets the glass. This mean, in a sense, all the “weight” of the system of the forks and penny is resting right on that point, rather than out in the air, so if you balance it, it’ll be stable on the glass.
SCIENCE.
…….Close enough
The difference between Science and Engineering.

I really hate when parents don’t respect their kids personal space or boundaries and then get offended or upset when you get mad or they act like its nothing because they’re your parents. They are your children not your fucking property.

Logical and Rhetorical Fallacies
Y’all better learn these. They’ll make you a better person.
ARB logical and rhetorical fallacies.
I want to see a national debate (like say, oooh I dunno, around election time) where there’s a notification sound and a screen behind the debaters that shows the logical fallacies when they’re used in the debate. It will be one or several people’s job to pick out the fallacies as they’re used. I know we have the technology to do this.
Also to turn off the damn mics when they go over their allotted time :/“If we let homosexuals marry, next we’ll know is we’ll have to let the incestuous marry and-“

This was one of the only things I learned in college that interested me.

that moment in a concert where all the instruments stop and its just the singer and everyone around you and you don’t know like ninety percent of the people in the room but you all know the lyrics and you all know what that band has done for you and oh my god you realise that you’re surrounded by people you don’t know but you share at least one interest with each other and you feel like a family yeah you know that moment i live for that moment

this is how i run in nightmares
I’ve never been able to describe what it’s like running in nightmares. This gif is a PERFECT representation!

Exactly.
Imagine a wall full of circular holes, that circles can keep walking in and out of with no difficulty.
Now imagine that the triangles manage to get the resources together, after years of not being able to fit through the circle’s holes, to drill a single triangle space into the wall.
Now imagine that the circle — who previously supported the triangle’s efforts because they are well-rounded (har) and value equality — comes along and sees the construction project. But instead of being happy, they get angry.
“Well, I won’t be able to fit through your hole!!!!” the circle cries.
“I helped you get the drill!!!!” the circle shrieks.
“Make it fit me too!!!!” the circle demands.
The triangles, barely holding it together enough to get a triangle hole together, stare at the circle in confusion.
“You have all the holes you need,” the triangles explain. “This is for us. You don’t need to fit through our hole, too.”
“YOU’RE BEING UNEQUAL AND HURTING MY FEELINGS!” the circle wails. “I DON’T SUPPORT YOUR HOLE IF IT DOESN’T FIT ME TOO. GIVE ME MY DRILL BACK.”
“It’s not your drill, it’s our drill. You helped us get it, because you said you cared.”
“I ONLY CARED WHEN I THOUGHT YOU’D MAKE A HOLE EVERYONE COULD FIT THROUGH. YOU’RE PERPETUATING INEQUALITY!!!”
“Why is it up to us, the small group that has never been able to fit through the wall at all, to make a hole everyone can use? Why isn’t it up to you, the people who have been able to cross back and forth at will for years? We just want to see the other side; why are you yelling at us?”
“I DIDN’T ASK TO BE BORN A CIRCLE, OMG. I’VE HAD TO WORK HARD ALL MY LIFE TOO. YOU’RE JUST BEING BIGOTED AGAINST ME BECAUSE OF SOMETHING I CAN’T CONTROL, JUST LIKE EVERYONE IS AGAINST YOU.”
“You are interfering with our project and asking us to comfort you while we’re trying to make progress. Please leave.”
“I’m going to tell everyone about this,” the circle warns. “Nobody will support you now.”
“Apparently nobody ever did,” the triangles sigh, getting back to work.
It’s kind of sad
That we have to draw comics using colorful shapes
To explain systematic inequality to people
