Saw a group of 14 year-old boys refuse to admit that it's harder to hold a pool cue out from your body if you hold it at one end than if you hold it in the middle (simple demonstration of leverage).

Did you apply a counterforce to embarrass their egos?

I was too gobsmacked by how ridiculous they were being to think of another proof!

What does this have to do with masculinity?

[-] frankPodmore@slrpnk.net 8 points 11 months ago

They wouldn't admit they found one thing more difficult than another thing, in case it implied they were weak !

Pool cue looks like a giant cock.
