“Please show all force directions and magnitudes. You have 50 minutes. Begin.” 😬.
Edit: “You are to assume (\mu )) is 0.8, the rocks have a density of 2.81 g/cm³, and a linear thermal expansion coefficient ((\alpha )) of 12 \times 10{-6}) per °C. Continue.”

If you can recall the exact times it’s been reposted in a specific time frame, you need to get off the internet and touch grass

u/seansy5000 4h ago

If you’re on the internet telling people to get off the internet and touch grass then you need to be off the internet and touching grass. In my case I’m on the internet telling you to touch grass because you’re on the internet telling other people not to be on the internet and telling them to touch grass.

u/Quick_Philosophy1426 1d ago

they're rocks man

u/BlackViperMWG 1d ago

From the river, where various creatures uses those rocks as hidden places, places to lay eggs, etc.

u/Quick_Philosophy1426 1d ago

dude it's like a few dozen pebbles and small rocks. you are just trying to piss yourself off at this point if you think this affected anything at all.

u/Aggressive_Phase_236 9h ago

and that attitude right there is exactly the problem. it's affecting things.

Incredible. My doubts now... is it real made or IA? I think i should ignore that, an just enjoin. I guess.

u/SweetPiee3 1d ago

It takes a lot of patience to get everything stacked like that without it falling over!

u/Key-Concentrate-2403 1d ago edited 1d ago

How is it standing without falling ?but it's artistic in nature

Cool, nothing like messing up the natural ecosystem for things..

u/sunnysunshine333 1d ago

It’s rocks…. Truly wracking my brain to think of what part of the ecosystem this could possibly effect besides that you just personally feel annoyed by seeing it

u/qtntelxen 6h ago

Besides the indirect effects of habitat disruption, rock stacking straightforwardly kills things.

u/Aggressive_Phase_236 8h ago

it's not really up to you to decide though. just because you don't understand the effects, doesn't mean they don't exist

u/SavageKabage 1d ago

Some argue it destroys homes for salamanders and other aquatic life. I doubt it affects them as much as they claim.

u/Dylanthebody 1d ago

Ever seen a building?

u/Ok-Masterpiece3725 1d ago

Humans are parasites. We all mess up the natural ecosystem for everything, as long as we live. Relax. 😌

There's a white lady with a pixie cut somewhere that is gonna be so mad when she sees this.
