I still shudder when I recall the phrase “and as you can see by this trivial example….” (Proceeds to show me what I can only assume are ancient hieroglyphs)

Pfft, fucking amateurs.

Excuse me, why are you erroneously depicting cows as having a radius? We all know that cows, like all objects, are actually point singularities of a given mass. Also, the depiction of the ground texture implies friction and an uneven surface, the color of the sky belies the anomalous presence of air resistance, and the cows are anisotropic in their colouration, and cannot act as the perfect blackbodies we all know them to be.

Love it when the best answer is "it could be this, but it's probably bullshit"

This also implies the existence of "no the now, brown cow"

One theory suggests that a customer at a bar in 18th-century Scotland could order a beer by saying, “How now brown cow?” to the bartender. While the term brown cow referred to a barrel of beer in Scotland, there is little evidence to support this claim

Well that was pretty useless given the last sentence.

Just assume they're frictionless.

Why though?

Where tf does that phrase even come from? I've wondered since I was 5 but people just keep saying it

How now?

Cowculations?

Are they color blind as well? What happened to the brown cows?!

Meh, just add a friction coefficient. Should be fine.

That's not vacuum.

The school just built a new football stadium, we had to cut the department budget so we have to keep using that printer from the 90s for another decade

Physics Majors are colorblind?

All that air is gonna make calculations tricky...

Love the context

That's why my bones stay out of the disco

I’m shaking and shuddering in surprise

(Urge to toot intensifies)

oh ffs

Is this...

Not if said heat were analogous to amorous interest, though. Then, it's poetically apt.
