  This is exactly why giving ID scans to online sevices is a terrible idea, even ignoring the privacy aspect.

  Did it just get warmer?

  It seems maybe you’re actually misunderstanding. As I mentioned above, both you and the other commenter are certainly correct that the surrounding atmosphere (water in your case) exerts force on the objects as they fall, with varying effects depending on object density. However, if you take two objects that have vastly more density than the water (let’s say a big tungsten rod and another tungsten rod that has a hollow core), they will drop at approximately the same rate in the water even if their density vs each other varies. The greater the difference of their density versus the density of the medium, the less the effect of the medium. Is there still technically an effect? Sure, but that effect is negligible from a human perceptual perspective.

  While that is true, two properly selected objects (such as the ones mentioned above) can reduce the effect of air resistance to levels negligible to human perception, demonstrating that heavier objects do not intrinsically fall faster.

  For a shitposting community, it’s amazing how many people here don’t understand shitposts at all.

  I think a bowling ball would actually just be a solid topologically. The finger holes are just indentations rather than holes that go all the way through. IANAT, though.

  Technically no, this photographer is putting flowers under a blacklight and photographing them, resulting in a picture of basically what a human would see IRL in that scenario (aside from things like contrast/exposure variances, etc). It’s not really the same as what UV sensing animals would see. These photos are of regions of the flower converting UV light into human-visible visible light (via fluorescence, same thing as a blacklight poster). UV sensing animals are seeing actual ultraviolet being reflected by the flower as well as visible light, so it’s not the same thing.

  That same house in my area costs at least 10 times that amount. I was lucky in that I had “only” $80,000 of debt from my bachelor’s, a housing situation via marriage, and a career path with solid pay (after going back for an associate’s while working in a low-paying job post-graduation for 7 years). I only finally paid off that debt 2 years ago and I graduated in 2008. I don’t know how a lot of people manage.

  College graduates (PhD or otherwise) drowning in debt and not being financially able to pay it off is common enough here in the US that it’s a trope, and likely the basis for this “joke”.
