Then Diogenes comes cruising through in an RV.

Ancient "science" is kinda like this sometimes tbh

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 33 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Modern science too, if the question is big enough.

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

I feel like all science is like this to an extent

Like, chicks get breast cancer a lot. Is it the estrogen? Let's put some of that in a mouse and see what happens

Of course modern researchers are more interested in like "MSRB acrolase enzymes" or whatever, but same diff

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 31 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Same for doors. We are really narrowing it down now!

It's not the human either. Believe me I've seen cars move by itself

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Let's think of some differences. Cars have license plates and steering wheels.

There's one angle that I feel like we're not acknowledging: maybe it's something in the house that makes it not go. Sinks, or perhaps beds?

[–] somedev@aussie.zone 5 points 11 months ago

Hmm, that can't be it either. I've seen caravans with beds and sinks and they go.

When you come to the comments for answers, and it's just people telling jokes

[–] darvocet@infosec.pub 21 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's the hood that does it. Houses don't have hoods. Well, lots of houses can make up a hood but i think that's different.

You...I...you know what never mind. It is just not worth it.

Seagulls have wings and can fly. Ostriches have wings and can't fly. So it's not the wings that make the seagulls fly, it's something else entirely.

[–] Denixen@feddit.nu 4 points 11 months ago

This is in a way true. If ostriches weight less or had bigger wing area (like, absurdly large), they would be able to fly. So it isn't the wings per se as you say. Interesting.

The Pakleds are interested. This is basically Pakled philosophy.

"Windows make us go?"

Cuts hole in spaceship; gets vented into vacuum

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

So the window did make them go

[–] MyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.works 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Having recently lived through a hurricane and can vouch that houses, can, in fact, go.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I knew it wasn't that simple. Some more research is definitely required.

Did your house have a radio? I'm working on a completely new hypothesis.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Cars have rubber bladed things that automatically clear water off of some of the windows but houses do not.

[–] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I bet this is it! I'm going to install some in my house and see what happens. Pray for me!

[–] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 11 months ago

Have you checked to see if the foundations are the same ?
