Good thing no one risked boating before Archimedes invented bouyancy ๐Ÿ™

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.

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

Can't...unsee...the incorrect spelling!

I have heard it pronounced "Beyonce" by a non-native speaker. The word is a boss fight in and of itself.

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

Let me try...buoyancy?

[-] Sigh_Bafanada@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Buoyancy. As in a buoy.
