Avrayter 9:55 am oct. 13 2025: okay, I assume you write these comments with html. can y'all please just implement the standing on the soldiers of giant joke into the first paragraph? Avrayter (talk) 13:56, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

I'm reminded of science fiction like Star Trek where children learn "advanced" physics like quantum mechanics in high school. Barmar (talk) 14:44, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

There's something to this, tbh. To use just one example, there was a time in history when NEGATIVE NUMBERS were considered a bizarre innovation to the world of mathematics, boggling even expert mathematicians (since, how can you have -3 apples? A hole in the universe where three apples ought to be? It's quite an abstract concept when you think about it!) Yet nowadays, every high school graduate is expected to understand them intuitively and use them proficiently. I really do wonder what it's doing to us, where what was "advanced" in bygone years is considered "fundamentals" today. Our brains don't evolve THAT quickly.

Is the drawing of Cueball and White hat the exact same of 3148? 140.77.177.211 16:52, 13 October 2025 (UTC) divicarpe

No, the angle of Cueball's arms is slightly different... Caliban (talk) 18:20, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Cue ball drops two weights and injures several tourists? Impressive. Fephisto (talk) 19:03, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Maybe one of the tourists fell on someone else? Maybe people panicked and stampeded? 2600:4041:798b:a100:693e:f092:d39a:36fc (talk) 21:20, 13 October 2025 (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

You should never do just one interation of an experiment... It really needs several attempts. (Different hands for the different weights, etc.) 2.98.65.8 21:34, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Plus the results kept getting invalidated when the objects hit people of different heights, necessitating further runs of the experiment. 82.13.184.33 08:21, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

to clear up some confusion regarding "several", see 1070. raeb 10:09, 14 October 2025 (UTC)

Did anyone else notice this comic about discovering came out on Columbus Day? 2405:9800:B560:E3E:5D49:405F:31F1:A98C 02:09, 14 October 2025 (UTC)
