Surely that took a lot more practice than doing a cucumber. So I was told.

But he did have two sisters, which makes this post a lot weirder

Yeah I was gonna say that. He was famously single his entire life and is speculated to be one of the first historical examples of an asexual and aromantic person.

[–] [email protected] 90 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I can't be the only one that read "aromatic person" instead of "aromantic person".

[–] [email protected] 76 points 1 month ago

He was born in the 17th century, everyone had quite the aroma back then

I'm gonna go ahead and be that guy and point out the fact that in the panels showing himat his desk from the inside, th window is to his right and there's no wall right next to him, while the one from the outside has the window directly in line with him and it's breaking me

I'm gonna be the guy that points out cucumbers are spiky before they get to the grocery store...

It's all just one room, they moved the desk to the window to make place for a bed.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

He moved his desk to a different room/window

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

It looks correct to me, the inside view doesn't even clear the window, the outside view shows that the wall is maybe ~1' past the window frame which we don't even see on the inside shot. Unless I'm missing something?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

But at least the formulas and constants appear to be correct

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

My gawd, you've entirely ruined my enjoyment of this cucumber.

A cucumber tree? Sir, this is a science community.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

The cucumber just fell out of a peddler's basket who was moving ahead of the woman under the tree.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The cucumber is on the ground. And cucumbers do grow on plants.

Admittedly the image quality is "this meme first appeared in a dirty magazine in 1986 and has been re-compressed twice a year since the internet was invented", but there are falling lines above the cucumber, and a little puff of smoke where it hits the ground. It's depicted as falling out of a tree.

It's common to use a trellis with cucumbers to have their vines grow vertically instead of covering all of the horizontal space of a garden. That makes cucumbers "hang" in the air like a fruit on a tree, and would lead to those motion lines in a fall.

But did they do that in Newton's time?
