...and other marvellous mysteries of life. A hangout.

May or may not contain actual science. Or butter.

Welcome aboard everyone!

Do you mean
a) if we keep adding weights made of butter to the boat
b) if we butter the boat on the outside
c) if we replace parts of the boat with butter

Death by Mirrors · Posted 08-14-2018, 05:34 PM

What scientific experiment out of these three would you prefer?

5000 Pounds of Butter on a wooden ship would sink it. The time it would take to dissolve the ship would already be sunk and wouldn't rise.

Second law of thermodynamics, or are you working for a margarine factory?

I like kaderin's experiment better!!!

Death by Mirrors · Posted 08-14-2018, 05:53 PM

But wouldn't butter already melt inside the cannon when fired?

Kaderin Triste · Posted 08-14-2018, 05:57 PM

Not necessarily. I think the proper technique is to form cannonballs with the butter, then freeze them. While the initial cannon blast might be hot, it shouldn't be hot enough to melt the frozen butter. Especially as it is not a prolonged heat.

I promote you to naval defense minister and will order a cannon off Amazon Prime. *serious nod*

For science!

mdom · Posted 08-14-2018, 06:14 PM

Aye, cap'n Triste!
*freezes all the balls*

Wait a minute, I'm the captain. It's my ship after all.

Hrm. Actually...

It would make more sense to sink a rival ship. Time to capture!

what is her rank? Lieutenant? Admiral? I don't understand much about it, honestly.
I just don't want to be the skippy.

Death by Mirrors · Posted 08-14-2018, 06:33 PM

...do you really want a lesson in military ranks when we could blow up stuff? ^^

mdom · Posted 08-14-2018, 06:36 PM

Well, it's kinda spam to just post 'boom' isn't it xD

Death by Mirrors · Posted 08-14-2018, 06:39 PM

Kinda. But the whole purpose of this thread is to increase your chances at crayons even when you don't have anything witty to say at the moment. So if you post 'boom' with a nice exploding gif, I'll allow it.
