That bumblebees shouldn't be able to fly.
To be fair that's true if you only talk about aerodynamics. But by the same logic helicopters can't fly either.
Helicopters can't fly, silly.
They're just so ugly that the ground repels them.
You know what's dumb about helicopters?
They could just remove that giant rotating fan above it and put in cockpit air conditioning.
Think how much quieter and cooler it would be, not to mention the fuel savings!
Wouldnt work. How would they keep the birds away without those fans?
They could put some of those electricity generating wind turbines on the roof which kill birds.
It's true if you only talk about aerodynamics, and also don't know that air behaves differently on smaller scales and turbulence is really fucking complicated and not yet fully understood.
