My faith in humanity is so low that I 100% believe there are planes are not real truthers that’s out there.

This perfectly encapsulates how anti vaxxers and others think. “Ive thought it through and it cantnbebright”. Its incredible how we can have access to vast amounts of information and yet live in an age of gleeful ignorance.

Also weird how giant steel tankers float on the ocean. Especially when they’re weighed down by all that cargo. It’s practically unbelievable. I throw a tiny rock in the ocean, and it sinks…but not those giant steel boats? /s
tja@sh.itjust.works 16 hours ago
No, ocean water can’t sink steel boats

It’s a well known fact that steel weighs the same as feathers
ByteJunk@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
Well… When you put one of those huge tankers in the water, it will move a LOT of water out of the way.
As long as the tanker weights less than the weight of all that water it displaced, it will float.
As you keep loading up the tanker with more cargo, it will go deeper into the water right? But this means that it is pushing more water out of the way (the water that used to be where the boat now is), which balances out the weight because that creates more buoyancy.
A rock, on the other hand, is heavier than the water that it displaces, so it sinks like a tanker whose front fell off.

But steel is heavier than water
Saleh@feddit.org 14 hours ago
Since we are pedantic, what you say isn’t true.
The tanker weights exactly as much as the weight of the water that it displaces. They are in balance. You describe it yourself. The tanker sinks deeper if it becomes heavier and swims more up as it becomes lighter.
The measure of “boat swims” is not the weight of the displaced water. It is weather there is some boat wall left sticking out of the water to keep more water from entering and displacing the air that keeps the submerged volume in weight balance with the water.

Metal is heavier than water. Virtually every containber is fille to the brim with products, now I don’t know you but most everything we buy is heavier than water.
It’s clear they have some kind of extra propulsion in those, most likely magnetic anti gravitation.

It’s not pressure under the wings, it’s fucking Bernoulli sucking on top of them.

I’m 100% convinced this was never a battle of airframes and manufacturers and simply was down to: “No, sir/ma’am, I will not fly the derpy plane into combat. Can’t do it. YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND THE REST OF THE PILOTS WILL LAUGH AT ME”
BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 11 hours ago
Next time you see a plane imaging two hooks in the middle of the wings, a crane lifting up the plane with these two hooks and shaking it.
This give you a good approximation of what the forces in the plane are, and once you picture that you might think that there is no way the plane can hold up in this situation. Yet it does.

It’s more like putting the plane in a bowl of jello and then shaking the bowl.

Well I must admit, when the plane is resting on the ground, the wings droop down a lot. Then when airborne it’s the other way around, the wings curve upwards as the fuselage hangs from them. In my mind nothing that big made of metal should be able to flex that much.
But since I’m not a conspiracy theorist, I have learned about material science, airplane design and engineering. And I have found out that it does indeed flex that much. It also isn’t that thick, since it’s only a skeleton wrapped with a very thin layer of metal. In fact if it didn’t flex as much, it would be weaker and not stronger.
So the thing I really learnt is never to trust intuition when it comes to things like this.

You can observe on a small scale that many things made of metal do, e.g. a saw or a spring.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 17 hours ago
I remember a quote from an A380 pilot saying the plane doesn’t look like it should be able to fly.
Even the people that fly them know they don’t look like a flying object.

at takeoff i like to imagine that the plane is going into a massive underground subway network with really nice screens along the sides

I would be worried if the aeroplane goes down rather than up during takeoff.

You are in the greentext community, this is the standard phrase used by 4chan people to call stuff they dont like or think is fake.
Rekonok@sh.itjust.works 17 hours ago
It is a traditional slang on 4chan (and somme parts of r*ddit).
Years ago there where a few sincere jokes with it now it is just straight up homophobia and culture war shit.
thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
I don’t know how you got to “culture war and homophobia”? It’s literally a meme phrase that’s used (often sarcastically) in response to stories on the internet. Saying something is “fake and gay” is literally shitposting, I think interpreting any deeper meaning into it is a bit of a stretch.
Wildfire0Straggler3@lemm.ee 16 hours ago
I see now, I don’t know how I went through the 2000’s without realizing this phrase was a meme until now.

qjkxbmwvz@startrek.website 44 minutes ago
I think large planes “look” like they can’t work because their “relative speed” is really low — that is, their speed relative to their length. We’re used to seeing birds cover tens of lengths per second, whereas a large airliner covers ~1ish per second at takeoff.
Or not, but this always seemed like a plausible explanation as to why planes look impossible. (Though given that hovering birds don’t look funny, maybe this is a silly observation…).
