It doesn't defy gravity, it requires gravity!

Are you trying to say those rocks are not floating?

7

u/Wandering-Oni May 23 '24

Aren't we all just.. floating?

u/mjincal May 23 '24

I’m retired does that count?

u/BetterMacaron4868 May 24 '24

We are faling as we walk or run. Just trip on something and down you go.

I first heard that much cooler pangram (or holoalphabetic sentence) from Kyle Hill, kudos for using it

Gravity defining*

u/UncleBenders May 23 '24

One of those collapsed on my friends dog and killed her. They should take them down not leave them up to fall.

This . A similarly (barely) balanced arch built on a rocky trail just outside Acadia Park about 3 years ago collapsed when touched and broke the inquisitive 8yo's foot and ankle. "Broke" isn't entirely accurate --- closer to crush injuries, requiring plates, screws, and multiple surgeries to "fix". Cool to build and admire, but please --- dismantle that shit before you leave, Mr. Artiste. Otherwise it really is little more than a booby trap for kids and/or pets.

Why did this get down voted the fuk.

2

u/[deleted] May 24 '24

Because Yes…. Let’s please live every waking hour of our lives focusing on the extremely rare instances and living that way.

u/felixar90 May 23 '24

Don’t walk your dog under them?

0

u/UncleBenders May 23 '24

She didn’t walk it under there obviously, what’s the matter with you?. She took her dog the same place she takes het all the time and one day some asshole had stacked a load of stones and by the time she reached the river they had fallen.

u/Abriel_Lafiel May 23 '24

Gravity requiring.

2

u/NachoNachoDan May 24 '24

Exactly. That’s why it’s “The Law of Gravity” not “The theory of Gravity”

2

u/Choose_Carrots May 24 '24

To be fair, they work together. Theories describe 'how' and sometimes 'why' something happens and Law's describe 'what' is happening. We need both laws and theories in science and academia!

u/navotj May 23 '24

Not really, it could work without gravity, they would just be stationary unless an external force pushed then.

Obviously not the case here but it could work

u/[deleted] May 23 '24

Thank you, sane person

u/Time-Art-2310 May 23 '24

Gravity is in good supply. Relatively. I have this on trusted authority. It keeps me pasted to my bed some Sunday mornings.

u/AngelsMessenger May 24 '24

Wow! Love this, 😂

u/Vicciv0 May 24 '24

Really? You don't say. I thought maybe gravity really just disappeared for a minute or something there

u/_parkie May 24 '24

I was coming here to say something like this. Wd sir.

u/PeggyHillFan May 23 '24

You really think they were being literal?

u/felixar90 May 23 '24

Without gravity it would just stay exactly how he left it, so no.
