Physics problems and their ridiculous simplifications are a special kind of comedy. The textbook casually instructs you to "assume a penguin is a circular cylinder" like it's the most reasonable thing in the world. Meanwhile, physics students just nod along with that "perfect, makes total sense" expression. Because who hasn't looked at a waddling bird and thought "ah yes, clearly a perfect geometric shape with uniform density." Next week: assume the cow is a perfect sphere in a vacuum!
