If you bring a milkshake in opposite backyards that are equally distant, will the boys be suspended between both atraction fields uncapable of moving as if it was some sort of lactic lagrange point or would both milkshakes repeal each other until their fields are no longer superposing?

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

It's an unstable equilibrium, any external force will disturb it and lead to the boys being pulled into one of the milkshakes

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This implies a pair of rotating milkshakes can be used to suspend the boys

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Exercise 3.1: Compute the lagrange points for boys near two rotating milkshakes. For extra credit show that it's better than yours.

'lactic Lagrange point' got my upvote

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 4 points 10 months ago

Aka cleavage.

[–] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

And mine.

The boys would follow the more tempting milkshake. One boy would divide from the group to scout out the less tempting milkshake at close proximity.

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

But the boys of summer have gone...

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 10 months ago

What a great last line.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

There's a good chance that if it's summer the boys are present. After summer, the boys are gone.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Not only if they're back in town, but also if they're the backstreet boys.

[–] undergroundoverground@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

I could teach you but I'd have to charge.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

…And whether or not the boys are currently transitioning II Men.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

If it has been raining men then they are probably in all the yards.

[–] altasshet@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

At least we know for sure that they don't cry.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well of course they don't cry, they're imaginary.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Are you saying they are complex?

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Fundamentally flawed of course - clearly you can crack a cold one in the yard all by yourself. The presence of the boys is not required, and in fact is a downside since they will consume your remaining cold ones and then go look for milkshakes without so much as a thank you ma'am.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The boys are not only back in town, but looking for trouble.

[–] ezterry@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

I was just assuming a yard glass of milkshake next to a yard glass of beer. Not sure the image went away when it became clear the author intended a suburban yard.

Fuckin’ Jack-of-all-trades Stan and Jimmy the Garbageman. Good shit
