How much butter do you need to sink a ship
...and other marvellous mysteries of life. A hangout.
May or may not contain actual science. Or butter. Welcome aboard everyone! |
Do you mean
a) if we keep adding weights made of butter to the boat b) if we butter the boat on the outside c) if we replace parts of the boat with butter |
What scientific experiment out of these three would you prefer?
|
5000 Pounds of Butter on a wooden ship would sink it. The time it would take to dissolve the ship would already be sunk and wouldn't rise.
|
Second law of thermodynamics, or are you working for a margarine factory?

I like kaderin's experiment better!!!
|
But wouldn't butter already melt inside the cannon when fired?
|
Not necessarily. I think the proper technique is to form cannonballs with the butter, then freeze them. While the initial cannon blast might be hot, it shouldn't be hot enough to melt the frozen butter. Especially as it is not a prolonged heat.

I promote you to naval defense minister and will order a cannon off Amazon Prime. *serious nod*
For science! |
Aye, cap'n Triste!
*freezes all the balls* |
Wait a minute, I'm the captain. It's my ship after all.
Hrm. Actually... It would make more sense to sink a rival ship. Time to capture! |
what is her rank? Lieutenant? Admiral? I don't understand much about it, honestly.
I just don't want to be the skippy. |
...do you really want a lesson in military ranks when we could blow up stuff? ^^
|
Well, it's kinda spam to just post 'boom' isn't it xD
|
Kinda. But the whole purpose of this thread is to increase your chances at crayons even when you don't have anything witty to say at the moment. So if you post 'boom' with a nice exploding gif, I'll allow it.
|
Why are there pool images when I'm searching for cannons!
Only real cannon balls here please. |
Hahaha yup, google can be weird sometimes. When I search for cannon, pic #28 is a roll of toilet paper and #41 is a microscope.
|
Microscope... why google. why. You can't let us down D:
https://media.giphy.com/media/L1sWUhledvNi8/giphy.gif BOOM! that's me sending butter balls towards the enemy |
Seems legit. You're our official gunner now.
|
Yay! Fire the butter cannon! Sink that damnable Margarine Fleet!
|
Re: Microscope: It's because the part that holds the lenses is called the barrel. the main body of the cannon is also called a barrel.
(ok, I actually have no idea, but that's what my brain came up first.) |
I'll believe that, Den xD
down with margarine! Vive la butter! |
"ARRR! IMMA BUTTER PIWATE!" Derpy proceeds to grab a stick of butter from the fridge and flail it around like a sword.
|
Guys, I have just discovered that the censor bars can cover Derpy's naked butt (well, front anyway, but his lower half in general) and I can't stop mentally laughing about it...
XD |
xDD
Derpy being a modest dragon |
"But where's my cwothes?!" Derpy pouts.
|
Awww they got all dirty with the butter balls!
|
Poor Derpy. Someday, we'll have clothes for you!
|
clothes with your own face in them!
wait, that's not weird is it... |
Awww....Derpy could be the cutest narcissist ever!
|
He really would.
|
...what if the ship were already made of butter?
Also I may have found a lost relative of Derpy's on my keepsake shelf. I'll have to get home to confirm. |
"You found my cousin?!" Derpy sits in excited anticipation.
|
It will take a few days to get back to where they are tucked away, but they are currently keeping company with a three (and a half) legged pegasus.
edit: I found a picture online! http://www.hagenrenaker.com/Newpages...gon-892Blg.jpg |
@Den: Makes perfect sense. Google is still weird in my book to throw it among the other results, but now at least we call it weirdness with a reason.
@mdom: Vive la butter! ^^ @Kaderin: Oh my, censor bars as Derpy's unofficial first wearable item XD reminds me of those times Donald Duck got in trouble for not wearing pants. @Derpy: By the way, have I ever asked what your favorite color is? I probably have, but I keep forgetting ^^; @Quiet: Sounds like interesting company for Derpy's lost cousin. He looks a bit more fragile to me anyway, so I wouldn't recommend taking him aboard the pirate ship right now... |
Oh Derpy's cousin is quite pygmy, and easily tuckable somewhere safe. I think he could sit comfortably on a toonie.
|
He does look bigger in the photo. You could earn a fortune as a professional di- oh wait, nevermind. Just reread you found the pic online.

Cool beans! I should get to work on your little surprise then (among with the dozens of other things I haven't finished yet ^^; why is there always so few hours in a month?)
