… how many linux users got mad?
Enough to create at least 5 different distros
I always compared pinguins with a Klein Bottle
…of bird like material which can be represented by a mass average of bone and flesh. This can be used in bird strike simulations for studying aircraft windshield performance as compared to thawed penguins shot out of a pneumatic canon. (I actually went to a talk that discussed exactly this except you replace “penguin” with “bird” in general).
As opposed to a rectangular cylinder
Other than break accessibility, searchability, fault tolerance, & make the web less usable, what is this image of text lacking alt text doing that real text doesn’t?
The only thing missing is a period.
(…) of uniform density in a neutral vacuum.
…In a vacuum.
On a frictionless plane?
It is imperative that the cylinder not be harmed.
It’s a cylinder
… the cylinder knows where it is, because it knows where it isn’t: where it was, and where it likely will be.

Help! Something sensitive is stuck in a cylinder and I need to get it out…
You should only ever use penguins with a flared base
Accelerate the penguin to 99% the speed of light
Assume no air resistance
Not sure if it’s popular internationally, but in Russian, “a calculation for a spherical horse in vacuum” is used quite often
Spherical cows is the one I always hear.
What does it mean?
It’s when you make some calculations or plans, but they would only work in “perfect” conditions. Like when you have an assignment about a horse running from A to B, and you made some calculations, but you disregard horse’s shape, friction, air resistance, and gravity
Oh cool, thanks for explaining! I guess the closest equivalent phrasing I’m used to would be “sounds good on paper” - or in Scotland (home for me) someone would probably reply with "Aye, and if my granny had wheels she’d be a bike.” 😂
Nah, that’s more like russian “if grandmother had balls, she’d be grandfather”
And the horse
Sorry but even after doing that it is still clear we need more tariffs on the penguins whether we assume they are cylinders or not.
It is not a square cylinder.
A triangular cylinder is right out.
Square cylinders are just cubes. Triangle cylinders are triangular prisms.
I don’t see the problem, really. What other shape would a penguin come in?
What other shape would a penguin come in?
They’re typically roughly cuboid, though best approximated with rounded corners, and wrapped in a layer of plastic.
I might need a snack.
What other shape would a penguin come in?
An oloid, the only shape nature has ever intending them to be in.
But what shall I do once a circular cylinder has been assumed? A cylinder whose cross section takes the shape of a circle?
