      "If gravity can attract an object as comparatively small as an apple to the earth (a colloquial observation by the guy Sir Newton), then you can attract an eligible mate of your preferred gender (an idea often disputed by doomer ideology).

      Look at me, now I am the one who kills jokes by explaining them

            Lol depends on your mass compared to hers. In order to attract something to your mass in the same way that the earth does an apple then the other body would need to be roughly 1/30000000000000000000000000th your mass to be so attracted.

            Also helps if you’re in a vacuum and under the influence of no other massive bodies.

        Right, seen the original quote before, just my brain wasn’t parsing the butcher’s bits of the meme. Thanks for ruining the joke, I chortled.

    The mass (amount of effort) required to pull anyone is too high to put in any effort. 🤷‍♂️

    Also, downvoted for unnecessary sanitisation. Bitch.

    Except that’s not really how gravity works. The apple didn’t move once it snapped off the tree. The apple was being accelerated by the tree until it fell. Then the ground and the apple accelerated to meet each other. Gravity didn’t pull the apple to the ground they both accelerated through spacetime to meet each other.

    Thank God you used bih instead of bitch. You might have made some billion dollar tech company really sad that you made their site less friendly toward advertisers if/when this image is shared on there. But instead you self-censored like a good little bitch. Daddy tech is pleased with you.
