minus-square@_stranger_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink27•1 year ago“pound foot” is the most intuitive name for a unit of force imaginable! How much force? One pound of the foot. Easy!
minus-square@mdurell@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink6•1 year agoRed Foreman agrees… “one pound of my foot in your ass”
minus-square@snugglesthefalse@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink5•1 year agoNot just any old foot, a square one
minus-square@oatscoop@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoBetter than “newton-meters” , yeesh. What the hell is a “newton”? Actually, what the hell is a “meter”?
minus-square@spaduf@slrpnk.netlinkfedilink3•1 year agoThe mnemonic for remembering a newton is actually one of my favorites. It’s the force required to move 1kg by 1m. A kg being roughly the mass of an apple makes Newton a natural and somewhat clever fit for the concept.

minus-square@_stranger_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•1 year agoOf this, you and I, are quite aware. The Joke, however, is in the air.

What kind of monster apples are you eating??
