Bikes have no windows and can move. There doesn’t seem to be any correlation whatsoever. Fascinating
What if bikes DO have windows, but every time you’ve seen a bike, the windows were just rolled down?
That would change everything
Edit: it’s also unfalsifiable which doesn’t make it wrong but you should bear it in mind
Bicycles is my favorite greek philosopher
Ducks have wings and can fly. Ostriches have wings and can’t fly. So it’s not the wings that make the ducks fly, it’s something else entirely.
This is what ancient greek philosophy is like
All I know is that the ocean can’t fly and geese come from barnacles, so it’s not the ocean that makes geese fly.
I think it’s kind of hilarious some of the insanely close conclusions some ancient philosophers got to being correct.
For example, Xenophanes observed that there were fossils of fish and shells, and correctly concluded that Greece was at one point underwater. He also had a bunch of insane claims on top of that, but the underwater part was correct.
His teacher, Anaximander actually said humans came from fish, which is hilariously close to correct despite the incorrect reasoning.
Empedocles is probably the most interesting. He concluded that humans and animals originated from these disembodied organs, which found each other and would form wholes. The catch was that many weird forms came about, like people with heads in the center of their bodies, and any other creation you can think of from just slapping animal organs together. He asserted that the forms which were unfit for life died out, leaving only the ones which worked to continue living. Empedocles almost describes a concept adjacent to multicellular organisms forming from single-celled symbiotic relationships (obviously Empedocles didn’t know about bacteria or cell theory), and then goes on to pretty accurately describe the mechanisms of natural selection.
Then Diogenes comes rolling through in an RV.
“Behold, a house!”
I’m picturing “Honest Diogenes’ Used RV Dealership.”
PLATO: An automobile is craft with an internal combustion engine, crankshaft, and wheels.
DIOGENES wheels in a HONDA GX630 PRESSURE WASHER
DIOGENES: Behold! An automobile!
Wouldn’t Plato say that it is merely what we perceive to be a craft with an internal combustion engine, crankshaft, and wheels?
Perhaps his stident, Aristotle?
SOCRATES: What’s a what, now?
My computer has windows and can fly
Mine has Windows and it’s a piece of shit.
I’d like to recommend you to get some GNU Linux™️ with antiviral formula, it wipes windows in seconds!
Well, technically, downwards still counts as flight
The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. - Douglas Adams
I (pretend to) use Arch, by the way
You mean the toasters can fly.
In Soviet Russia houses move with YOU.
These projects are awesome! IIRC they swiveled an entire building whilst still in use somewhere in America (Maybe NYC?). Without interrupting plumbing and electricity.
Edit: Found it, it was in Indiana: Indiana Bell building
How?
And why?
I did some research and it was because it was a telecom building that could not have any downtime and they wanted a new bigger building to be built that happened to overlap the original building’s footprint.
Behold a man!
Boats often have windows.
Not always…
… But, if a boat does have windows, its more likely one can actually live in it as compared to a boat without windows.
But, some boats with windows cannot really move under their own power, though many can.
But also many boats without windows can also move.
But not all of them.
lol
Yes. But how many boats have wheels?
Someone’s never read any Mark Twain.
kinky
Well that depends on whether or not you consider a BTR a boat. Or a WaterCar. Or an Amfibus. Or a DUKW or a LARC-V.
Or whether or not the boat has a helm.
Houses have windows and can’t move
Trailer parks are literally full of houses that can move.
… that could move, once upon a time.
And they can once again, call the toll free number and with a simple donation of kr 99,99 we can get these old trailers moving again.
Trailers are still cars. Here are houses that can move:
The.motive force of an object cannot be attributed to the windows
I’ve heard from this community that houses can run on Linux, though.
Greek algebra, a truth is only true if all other examples of the truth are proven true. Or one can be a part of the whole but the whole isn’t exactly the same as one.
House windows and car windows differ a lot both in shape and in materials used. Should they even be called the same just because they can be looked out of? There might still be a chance that the obviously very specialized car windows do make the car go.
Sounds like a religion and a god of the gaps concept.
