I want to see the funding proposal.

[-] danekrae@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Funded by Big Boxers

My husband the voice of reason says this study probably had something to do with tortion or whatever. Me? Pretty sure those are just some pervs wanting to see cold naked men running around.

Now it is time for a study into the effects of cup sizes on airflow during running, like the anime breast aerodynamics but irl

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Lazy copy of the outcome:

As such, the results have indicated that large breasts can be notably aerodynamic through the reduction of drag and lift. The Flat model incurred a 4% maximum drag increase com- pared to the Normal model, with an average of approximately 2% span- ning velocities from 1 to 30 m⋅s-1. The Flat model also experienced more lift, with a maximum difference being 32% and averaging 22%. As illustrated, the mechanism behind the drag and lift behaviors ob- served between both models was elucidated through the analysis of streamlines around the body and the structures associated with TKE; the Normal model provides advantageously lower drag and lift by the gen- eration of stronger vortices from the legs, which in turn originates from the action of the breasts redirecting the flow around the torso. From what has been presented in this preliminary work, it is safe to conclude that the phrase “Flat is Justice” is deficient aerodynamically.

A keynote proposition would be the use of a wind tun- nel experiment to acquire validation data. Ideally, this experiment would use live subjects of varying breast sizes

I hope he got his funding grant to stick fat titty skinny chicks (dressed as dragon maids) into wind tunnels and film their giant fucking honkers flapping in the breeze

I doubt it.

I remember when the study first came out. He bought a license for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software for a different project and had an extra 2-3 weeks left over when he was done with it. So he decided to use the remaining time he paid for modelling giant anime tiddies

As the Olympics should be.

[-] Pieisawesome@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I think we should have more Olympics.

One for people who do everything naked.

One for people who want to do performance enhancing drugs, steroids, implants, whatever.

Another for performance impairing drugs.

One for normal people who aren’t allowed to do any training. Grab them off the street (with consent) or whatever.

And a few more other random ones.

Another for performance impairing drugs.

reminds me of these two videos, Drugs at Work:

https://youtu.be/wmg-sYnMIrA (tries canvassing while impaired)

https://youtu.be/Jv4fr8A2b-k (tries wrapping presents while impaired)

I'd love to see a field of athletes trying to compete while under the influence of performance impairing drugs

[-] Mantzy81@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago

I volunteer as a participant to the performance impaired Olympics.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I want to see alcoholympics for normies. Drunk people always wildly overestimate their abilities but perform way worse

[-] fraksken@infosec.pub 34 points 2 days ago

Valuable research. What was the conclusion?

[-] Numenor@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

My balls was hot

[-] Maroon@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

At some point, the Japanese scientific community decided that the Nobel Prize Committee was full of shit and decided to pivot their entire scientific apparatus to studying really niche and hilarious topics that make their researchers competent for the true mark of honour: the Ig Nobel Prize.

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

If I’m running while naked, I’m probably more likely to be worried someone is trying to cut my balls off.

[-] ivan@piefed.social 15 points 2 days ago

Sometimes I happen upon articles that make me think that I'm doing wrong kinds of research myself. 🌚

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Probably on a treadmill inside. Pfeh. No fun.

[-] Whelks_chance@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

Can you chuck them over your shoulder?

Like a regimental soldier?

[-] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Can you tie them in a bow?

[-] Dr_Fetus_Jackson@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Can confirm.

[-] Akasazh@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

If you are here asking: "Is this a science meme?"

Probably, yes. We use the Dawkins definition of meme: a replicating idea, not just an image macro with a fact on it. A good post here doesn't need to teach you something. It needs to make you ask something: who, what, where, when, and especially why or how.

Science isn't a filing cabinet of facts, it's a conversation. For example, a photo of an eel or other localized wildlife counts because most people never see one, and wonder is the first step of inquiry. A car meme counts if it makes you curious about what's under the bonnet. If you want to talk about something you noticed in the world, chances are someone else wants to talk about it too.

We moderate for vibe, not category. Pruning is light, especially where a post creates interesting discussion. Experimenting is encouraged.

See the pinned paper on Shitposting as Public Pedagogy if you want the academic case for why this works.
