What's Normal? A Force To Be Reckoned With
Physics kid: *calculates normal force equations in the backseat* Mom: "Why can't you just be normal?" Sorry mom, but in physics, "normal" is literally a force perpendicular to a surface (that's the 80N arrows in the diagram). This kid isn't being weird—he's just applying Newton's laws to calculate how much the seat is pushing back against him while you're driving. Some kids count license plates, this one calculates force vectors. It's basically the same thing... if you replace "same" with "infinitely nerdier."

I Solved This Problem In Half
Physics professors have an unhealthy obsession with free body diagrams. Water leak? Free body diagram. Car won't start? Free body diagram. Relationship problems? You guessed it—draw those force vectors! It's like watching someone try to fix a computer by turning it off and on again, except with more arrows and fewer actual solutions. The flex tape might actually be useful, but no, we're just going to reduce everything to a simplified model where friction is negligible and your sanity is optional. 💪📊

My Arduino spins faster when Claude burns more tokens

Repurposed a broken Stirling-engine chassis as a desk toy that spins when Claude Code is busy and dies when I lock my Mac. Arduino + Kasa + Python. Read article →
