        You are literally 20 years late with this opinion.

        Don’t tell me what to do.

        Especially, don’t tell me what to do, without a functional alternative, and most certainly without giving me a good reason to do it.

        And absolutely don’t tell me what to do without giving me a reason or functional alternative multiple times in low effort copy pasta comments.

      there are 2 answers depicted under the option you claim to be correct. one of those answers is indeed correct, but it is not really clear which one from your answer.

      clear answer

      it is the straight diagonal.

        friction-less skis with zero thickness

  • Aneb@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The answer is D because there’s no indication that the rope is untied. The helicopter starts his trajectory but loses control and spins out and crashes, this is the hidden frame

      Sounds like that could lead to loss. Of life.

    The loss virus is only triggered when the picture makes no sense. So this one took a while

    Fuck!!! It took me waaaaay too long to get this shit. I’m at a loss as to why I didn’t see it immediately.

      Why would they even put D … ah fuck!

    Letter D is perfect for what's being described thereby: D for "Disaster", "Dying", "Drowning" if the helicopter is flying next to the sea. It could be letter S, too, for "stall", "smashing onto the ground" or, if this acute pitch exerted onto the aircraft was deliberately maneuvered by the pilot themselves, a seven-letter word starting with the letter S.

    Aside from the loss meme, this depends on unaccounted for factors:

    • C: it’s windy
    • D: rope is tied
    • B: chopper broke loose

    Do we have to worry about the loss of ve_loss_ity?

    0 is a constant speed.

    source
    • caradenada@feddit.cl ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yes, but then it wouldn’t be flying “to the right” as it says.

      source
      • StumblingWasabi@lemmy.today ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        If the helicopter is suspended in the air, it’s flying. To the right is simply a frame of reference, if I’m driving to the left then it appears as though the helicopter is going to the right, so the speed can be 0.

      Yes, but not one where we would typically consider something to be ‘moving’.

      Which C?

      source
      • RunawayFixer@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Both. The first c when the heli is flying at a constant speed. The 2nd one when it’s accelerating.

        source
      • Sam_Bass@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        C(2) since it is stated that the cable of uniform construction. unfortunately, i have to assume forward motion of the helicopter and that it is not in a vacuum

        I’m gonna say 1st. The propeller blows downwards so it would have that effect on the upper portion of the rope.
