Isaac Newton was a life time bachelor.
But he did have two sisters, which makes this post a lot weirder
Yeah I was gonna say that. He was famously single his entire life and is speculated to be one of the first historical examples of an asexual and aromantic person.
I can’t be the only one that read “aromatic person” instead of “aromantic person”.
He was born in the 17th century, everyone had quite the aroma back then
sniff sniff
atleast you’re not alone.
oh damn that’s sick if he was! pretty cool ace representation
He’s definitely not the first historical example. Artemis and Narcissus were aroace
It’s not the same though, those are fictional characters. I know a real person made them, but still, it’s not the same
They’re not fictional, they’re mythical. Here’s the difference between reality, fiction, and myth: Fiction is made out of the rearranged parts of reality. Myth is made out of fiction that people thought was important. And reality is made out of myth that people took too literally.
True, but I didn’t say he was the first, I said “one of the first”
Narcissus was not aroace, that’s slapping modern ideals on what’s literally an aesop about living up your own arse.
Hestia and Athena, definitely though. And Tesla.
The Greeks didn’t understand asexuality and thought it was hubris, since the only examples of ace people they did accept were literal gods. Narcissus was 16 when he died. A 16 year old who constantly gets sexually harassed has the right to be a little rude in rejecting people. Ameinias, for example, asked for the 16 year old’s hand in marriage multiple times. If you want to say hounding a mid-pubescent child for sex is acceptable in any cultural context, then I’m going to view you the same way I view the ancient Greeks: as a pedophile.
Narcissus literally loved no one above himself. It wasn’t asexuality it was hubris in the form of solipsism and narcissism - the reason why the condition is literally named after him.
And the Greeks cerainly DID understand asexuality, go and read Hippolytus.

Aromantic people are not sociopaths. It looks like you *think *you’re being an ally or supportive, but you’re actually being extremely offensive and abusive
Come back when you’re capable of a coherent adult conversation
in Thespeia of Boeotia (a city not far from Helikon) a child was born, Narcissus, very handsome and dismissive of both Eros and lovers.
Can you explain in what bizarro universe this is not asexuality? And can you also please explain what Narcissus did that meant he deserved to die?
I thought that was the joke here, isn’t it? He stayed virgin due to this…?
I’m gonna go ahead and be that guy and point out the fact that in the panels showing himat his desk from the inside, th window is to his right and there’s no wall right next to him, while the one from the outside has the window directly in line with him and it’s breaking me
But at least the formulas and constants appear to be correct
My gawd, you’ve entirely ruined my enjoyment of this cucumber.
It’s all just one room, they moved the desk to the window to make place for a bed.
I sure hope somebody got fired for this blunder!
He moved his desk to a different room/window
I’m gonna be the guy that points out cucumbers are spiky before they get to the grocery store…
I’ve grown lots of cucumbers, and while I haven’t shoved them in my arse, I can confirm that they are smooth. Ridge cucumbers can have spikes, you may be thinking of them.
you mean zucchini
It looks correct to me, the inside view doesn’t even clear the window, the outside view shows that the wall is maybe ~1’ past the window frame which we don’t even see on the inside shot. Unless I’m missing something?
A cucumber tree? Sir, this is a science community.
The cucumber is on the ground. And cucumbers do grow on plants.
Admittedly the image quality is “this meme first appeared in a dirty magazine in 1986 and has been re-compressed twice a year since the internet was invented”, but there are falling lines above the cucumber, and a little puff of smoke where it hits the ground. It’s depicted as falling out of a tree.
It’s common to use a trellis with cucumbers to have their vines grow vertically instead of covering all of the horizontal space of a garden. That makes cucumbers “hang” in the air like a fruit on a tree, and would lead to those motion lines in a fall.
But did they do that in Newton’s time?
Well before Newton discovered gravity, the vines would have been floating freely around. His discovery is what triggered the cucumber to hit the ground.
The apple falls next to a tree trunk, the cucumber falls next to vines and leaves near the ground. You wrong.
The cucumber just fell out of a peddler’s basket who was moving ahead of the woman under the tree.
If they don’t grow on trees then why are they green.
Isaac fucked the apple too tho.
Surely that took a lot more practice than doing a cucumber. So I was told.
Please don’t try it unless you can already fist yourself, or the retrieval will be a lot more painful!
Told by Isaac doctors, and a team of nurses, and the results of local biggest apple contest.
Needs more jpeg
The center wall that separates the windows is larger on the inside than the outside. Fun
I always laugh at stuff like the small dust cloud of the cucumber, as if it just popped into existence and caused air pressure.
I think it fell off the vine like the apple fell off the tree
If girls are really so down bad, why don’t they act like it?
Society.
Have you seen how people treat a girl who is open about wanting sex? It’s not good.
They probably have sex with her.
Edit: Really though, what?
unfortunately
if girls like sex so much why don’t they cum when I have sex with them???
Breh.
I’m sorry you are not familiar enough with one to know this. You know the difference between men and women? There basically isn’t one. We are 99.9% similar.
Guess my ex probably isn’t a good indicator.
Probably not.
not with you.
Weird generalization on almost every level.
