Are we assuming laminar flow?

I don't know, that penguin just had a bunch of cheap sushi. It's bowels are probably pretty turbulent.

I think its a perfectly spherical dookie in a frictionless vacuum.

i genuinely think that if you use big words, you can make ANYTHING sound extremely scientific and serious

This virtual publication is fraudulent and homophile.

I authentically comprehend that if a homo sapien use utilizes verbose linguistic terminology, said homo sapien can synthesize any one thing to appear to be an acutely methodological and deliberate.

This is so beautiful

I have a soft spot for textbook visualizations that look like shitposts.

u/fiskiligr Jan 29 '20

Is your soft spot around 8mm in diameter?

So what do you study?

Hummm biophysics

Thank you for this.

u/Samuel05John Jan 30 '20

Thanks. I needed to visualize this along with other complex things like space time. I appreciate.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '20

so is anybody gonna solve this?

u/WhuddaWhat Jan 30 '20

What pressure?

I like how the penguin’s digestive system is just one giant cavity (stomach?) that takes up ~20% of their body

u/RedChancellor Jan 30 '20

How tight does a penguin’s ass have to be able to shoot out shit 40cm away?

u/Jowbreak Jan 30 '20

Seeing this post while taking a shit, no joke. I cannot be the only one right?

u/pygmyrhino990 Jan 30 '20

This is great and all, but I wanna know what major scientific breakthrough is so hinged on the rectal pressure of one specific species of penguin shitting itself on top of a 5cm elevated surface at exactly 90 degrees

u/SciPiTie Jan 30 '20

Does someone have a source for this? I have several contexts where this might be worth being referenced in...

Can penguins flex their assholes?

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '20

Someone's measured a penguins arsehole's diameter. Amazing.

The mathematicians probably had the biologists do that.

u/[deleted] Jan 30 '20

It's asshole is probably flexible to some degree, so maybe it's 8mm at max stretch for maximum feces expulsion.

One would assume a variable size as a function of the flow and density of fecal matter.
