What's the object that when launched, would make the most noise landing? Without shattering on release because then you're just exploding stuff in your faces.

A billiard ball with a hole drilled straight through it would probably make a horrifying sound all along the way.

E: it’s been a long day and I forgot how to spell hole

in physics in high school we had a group project to build a ping pong ball launcher, only rules were nothing electronic or explosive, it had to be launchable within 60 seconds and it had to be under i think 16x16x16. i forget whatever gizmos everyone else made but we built a pneumatic thing with pvc pipe and a bike tube and pump. it was absolute dogshit for the accuracy part but schlonged everybody in distance

We did something similar, and my best friend is responsible for the rule that you can’t use rat traps or other high tension springs. That thing literally coulda killed someone.

It finally happened: my cat finally blunt-force hit me in the face with her tail -- as in, not just hair across the eyeball or me petting her & her tail snapping back -- hard enough for it to actually hurt. It wasn't even malicious*, she was just sassing her way across my lap.

Unrelatedly*, there seems to be a New York City-wide plain bagel shortage, and it is kind of a bummer.

I ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese, and they told me they only had everything, cinnamon raisin, and sesame bagels left. When I ordered a sesame bagel with cream cheese instead, they made me an everything bagel with cream cheese. It's too bad you weren't there, I would have given it to you because tbh I find everything bagels inedibly gross and I hate wasting food.

Going back to plain bagel unless you like putting sweet flavored cream cheese makes no sense to me.
