But he did have two sisters, which makes this post a lot weirder
Yeah I was gonna say that. He was famously single his entire life and is speculated to be one of the first historical examples of an asexual and aromantic person.
I can't be the only one that read "aromatic person" instead of "aromantic person".
He was born in the 17th century, everyone had quite the aroma back then
sniff sniff
atleast you're not alone.
oh damn that's sick if he was! pretty cool ace representation

I thought that was the joke here, isn't it? He stayed virgin due to this...?
I'm gonna go ahead and be that guy and point out the fact that in the panels showing himat his desk from the inside, th window is to his right and there's no wall right next to him, while the one from the outside has the window directly in line with him and it's breaking me
But at least the formulas and constants appear to be correct
My gawd, you've entirely ruined my enjoyment of this cucumber.
I sure hope somebody got fired for this blunder!
He moved his desk to a different room/window
I'm gonna be the guy that points out cucumbers are spiky before they get to the grocery store...
I've grown lots of cucumbers, and while I haven't shoved them in my arse, I can confirm that they are smooth. Ridge cucumbers can have spikes, you may be thinking of them.
It's all just one room, they moved the desk to the window to make place for a bed.
you mean zucchini
It looks correct to me, the inside view doesn't even clear the window, the outside view shows that the wall is maybe ~1' past the window frame which we don't even see on the inside shot. Unless I'm missing something?
A cucumber tree? Sir, this is a science community.
The cucumber is on the ground. And cucumbers do grow on plants.
Admittedly the image quality is "this meme first appeared in a dirty magazine in 1986 and has been re-compressed twice a year since the internet was invented", but there are falling lines above the cucumber, and a little puff of smoke where it hits the ground. It's depicted as falling out of a tree.
It's common to use a trellis with cucumbers to have their vines grow vertically instead of covering all of the horizontal space of a garden. That makes cucumbers "hang" in the air like a fruit on a tree, and would lead to those motion lines in a fall.
But did they do that in Newton's time?
Well before Newton discovered gravity, the vines would have been floating freely around. His discovery is what triggered the cucumber to hit the ground.
The apple falls next to a tree trunk, the cucumber falls next to vines and leaves near the ground. You wrong.
The cucumber just fell out of a peddler's basket who was moving ahead of the woman under the tree.
If they don't grow on trees then why are they green.
Isaac fucked the apple too tho.
Surely that took a lot more practice than doing a cucumber. So I was told.

Needs more jpeg
The center wall that separates the windows is larger on the inside than the outside. Fun

I always laugh at stuff like the small dust cloud of the cucumber, as if it just popped into existence and caused air pressure.
I think it fell off the vine like the apple fell off the tree
