My faith in humanity is so low that I 100% believe there are planes are not real truthers that's out there.

i remember when i thought these jokes were funny. now i know tons of people actually think like this and it's depressing rather than funny.
Be human.
Have billions of tons of atmosphere directly above you
Don't explode
Make it make sense
It's not pressure under the wings, it's fucking Bernoulli sucking on top of them.
(So, yes, sure, it is gay, but it's not fake.)
When you nut, but Bernoulli keep sucking...
I'm 100% convinced this was never a battle of airframes and manufacturers and simply was down to: "No, sir/ma'am, I will not fly the derpy plane into combat. Can't do it. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE REST OF THE PILOTS WILL LAUGH AT ME"
Next time you see a plane imaging two hooks in the middle of the wings, a crane lifting up the plane with these two hooks and shaking it.
This give you a good approximation of what the forces in the plane are, and once you picture that you might think that there is no way the plane can hold up in this situation. Yet it does.
It's more like putting the plane in a bowl of jello and then shaking the bowl.
...fake and gay
Hey now. Let's not blame gay people for the common-sense-defying demon-wizard sorcery that engineers get up to when someone threatens to take away their calculators and caffeine.
G.I.N.A.S.F.S.
Bruh some of the earliest planes were literally called biplanes. The gay has been complicit in aviation demon magic since the very beginning.
This perfectly encapsulates how anti vaxxers and others think. "Ive thought it through and it cantnbebright". Its incredible how we can have access to vast amounts of information and yet live in an age of gleeful ignorance.
>Town of 100 people
>Everyone has $50
>Everyone stores Money In Town Bank
>Total bank balance of everyone: $5000
>Bank lends $1000 to a farmer to buy new equipment
>Merchant who sold the equipment deposits $1000 into bank.
>There is now $6000 total deposited in the bank
>1000 just came out of thin air
Money is fake and gay
I remember this classic philosophical quandary of our time, but in a different form.
Classic.
debt: am I am joke to you?
Balance:
Each of 98 Townspeople: $50
The Merchant: $1050
The Farmer: -$950
So, the 98 towns people and the merchant all wants to withdraw.
???
Now you have a riot outside of a bank.
Congrats, you destroyed a Town with #Banking 🫠
Or alternatively.
The Banker just gaslight the town to mob-lynch the Farmer the good ol' capitalism way.
Rich people never pay off debt.
They let the poor pay it off for them
Future economists are going to make so much fun of us for thinking $1000 was created here.
The funniest thing is that the aerospace engineers who made this possible are just as much hopeless dysfunctional wrecks as the rest of us.
Also weird how giant steel tankers float on the ocean. Especially when they're weighed down by all that cargo. It's practically unbelievable. I throw a tiny rock in the ocean, and it sinks...but not those giant steel boats? /s
No, ocean water can't sink steel boats
But it melt steel beams?
Well... When you put one of those huge tankers in the water, it will move a LOT of water out of the way.
As long as the tanker weights less than the weight of all that water it displaced, it will float.
As you keep loading up the tanker with more cargo, it will go deeper into the water right? But this means that it is pushing more water out of the way (the water that used to be where the boat now is), which balances out the weight because that creates more buoyancy.
A rock, on the other hand, is heavier than the water that it displaces, so it sinks like a tanker whose front fell off.
Since we are pedantic, what you say isn't true.
The tanker weights exactly as much as the weight of the water that it displaces. They are in balance. You describe it yourself. The tanker sinks deeper if it becomes heavier and swims more up as it becomes lighter.
The measure of "boat swims" is not the weight of the displaced water. It is wether there is some boat wall left sticking out of the water to keep more water from entering and displacing the air that keeps the submerged volume in weight balance with the water.
Since we're being extra pedantic, what I said was:
As long as the tanker weights less than the weight of all that water it displaced, it will float.
This is factually true, and you didn't disprove it.
As for "boat wall sticking out of the water", that's just grasping at straws man. If that boat is fully waterproof, like a submarine, the definition holds up. Or if you consider that water entering the boat adds to the boat weight, then again it will hold true as it will weigh more than the water it displaces.

Don't forget about the screens they put in the windows
Well I must admit, when the plane is resting on the ground, the wings droop down a lot. Then when airborne it's the other way around, the wings curve upwards as the fuselage hangs from them. In my mind nothing that big made of metal should be able to flex that much.
But since I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I have learned about material science, airplane design and engineering. And I have found out that it does indeed flex that much. It also isn't that thick, since it's only a skeleton wrapped with a very thin layer of metal. In fact if it didn't flex as much, it would be weaker and not stronger.
So the thing I really learnt is never to trust intuition when it comes to things like this.

I remember a quote from an A380 pilot saying the plane doesn't look like it should be able to fly.
Even the people that fly them know they don't look like a flying object.
I get it. That plane is so disgusting the earth tries to keep it as far as possible from the ground.
No, thats the helicopter. It's said that it does not fly, but is repulsed by the earth because it is the hubris of man manifest.
Planes fly because aerodynamics.
Helicopters fly because money.
Helicopters leave the ground because God has gazed upon them, and became angered when He saw them among His beasts, on the lands of His creation. God then decided to expel the helicopters from His earthly kingdom to flutter helplessly in His skies. God did this to punish Man, whose hubris led him to climb into the unholy creation. The Lord would then strike down the abomination fluttering in His skies, condemning the heretics that had climbed aboard in the belief that they could fool Him.
Thus the name "Jesus nut".
No, it's called the Jesus nut because if it fails, only Jesus can save you now.
Wait till this guy find out that there are more planes in the ocean than there are submarines in the sky
