Second year physics students rejoicing they can actually use a cannon ball drag assumption
“Humans have an intuitive understanding of the world, they don’t need to be exposed to images produced by others like AI does” Below, cannon ball trajectories before Galileo.

Bro really said “the cuck chair is just a normal chair to a guy like me”
