    Good thing no one risked boating before Archimedes invented buoyancy 🙏

      I heard people used to just float around before Newton invented gravity.

      But I’m not sure. I think that’s just hot air.

        That’s brilliant

        PS: English is not my first language so I had to confirm if “hot air” is an idiom

      I’d imagine people moved around using giant levers, his guess what?

    Boats float because of their shape, Archimedes is a bitch. -Aristotle

      Boats float because an ideal boat floats, Archimedes and Aristotle are both bitches

      As a non-native, this is one of the words that make me cry.

      Let me try…buoyancy?

      Oh damn, I generally consider myself fairly decent at spelling but I’ve probably spelled buoyancy wrong every time I’ve written it.

      You know, those two times. I can’t say I’m often discussing buoyancy.

        Buoyancy. As in a buoy.
