It's called helicoptering and it's a sacred dance!
🤭 🐍
That is so cool!!!
Is it? What financial value does this generate for the world economy? How can this be marketed?
Think before you speak.
I want to be clear, I enjoyed this sarcastically.
Unlikely that you were serious.
^(thank^ ^you)^
Damn it! I didn't think about the stakeholders!
Although, with a lot of care, you could put a ribeye on this thing... does that count?
*starts scribbling in idea pad furiously under the table, whilst maintaining a blank and even composure*
No, that does not sound like a good idea. I would advise not telling anyone else about this.
???
Why?
I did know this! I used this trick to model dodecahedrons and icosahedrons when I was really into making custom rubik's style twisty puzzles
But I wanna use gyroelongation!
Didn't tell me what to do!
I do know now. And that's cool as shit
