Women have completely and utterly lost their minds

[Nicholas J. Fuentes @NickJFuentes]

Twitter is doing to “rape culture” what body cameras did to “police brutality.”

[Count Dankula @CountDankulaTV]

That was the plan but y'all hoes.

[Los 🍇 @LosPollosTV]

I’ve seen more women mad at Sydney Sweeney for posing half naked in an ad than at the lady who viciously murdered her 3 children… You really can’t make this shit up 🤣

The off-centered courtyard with radial tiling pattern leading up to the towers. I am filled with grief.

[Alex Boge @alexboge]

I find these World Trade Center simulations by Kostack Studio fascinating because they remove the smoke and let you see the collapse much more clearly.

In the real footage, so much is hidden by fire, dust, debris, distance, and chaos that many people come away with the impression that the towers simply dropped straight down into their own footprints.

But that is not really what happened.

These simulations make it much easier to see that the collapse begins in the heavily damaged and fire-weakened region, the upper section starts moving and tilting, and the destruction then propagates downward through the structure.

The towers do not simply disappear vertically into their own footprints. Large portions of the upper structure and exterior are moving outward and to the side as the collapse develops. Much of that motion is simply obscured in the real videos once the enormous debris cloud forms.

And this is also why I find these simulations useful when people describe the collapses as looking like “controlled demolition.”

Strip away the smoke and dust and the resemblance becomes much less convincing.

What you see is a highly asymmetric structural failure beginning around the aircraft-damaged and fire-affected floors, followed by an enormous moving mass progressively overwhelming the structure beneath it. There is tilting, rotation, exterior columns peeling away, debris being thrown far outside the building footprint, and structural failure occurring chaotically as the collapse moves downward.

That is very different from the neat mental image usually implied by “controlled demolition,” where structural supports are deliberately severed in a carefully timed sequence to produce a predetermined collapse.

And importantly, we already know what preceded these collapses.

Both towers suffered massive aircraft-impact damage. Fireproofing was stripped from portions of the structure. Large, uncontrolled fires then burned across multiple floors - for about 56 minutes in the South Tower and about 102 minutes in the North Tower - heating and weakening structural components until collapse initiated.

Once that upper mass began moving, the loads imposed on the floors and structure beneath became vastly greater than anything they had been designed to carry.

The result was progressive collapse.

No, an animation is not proof simply because it looks convincing, and these are not official NIST simulations. They are visualizations built under particular assumptions.

But as visualizations, I think they are extremely useful.

They let you see something the original footage often cannot show clearly: beneath that enormous cloud of smoke and debris was a complicated, violent, asymmetric structural failure - not two buildings neatly dropping straight down into their own footprints.

A note on the simulation: this is not intended to reproduce the collapse down to the exact motion of every beam, floor panel, and fragment of debris. No practical simulation could do that. Its value is in modeling the large-scale structural behavior - how the major sections deform, move, tilt, separate, and progressively fail. Think of it as a visualization of the mechanics and overall collapse behavior, not a frame-by-frame reconstruction of where every piece of steel ultimately landed.

[Lucas Gage @LucasGageX]

The Twin Towers weren't solid blocks of steel. Look how much space there was between their cores and outer walls. Trusses were the only things securing the floors. All they had to do was be weakened by heat, then snap, dropping each floor onto the next.

No bombs needed for this.

Seeing New York for the first time in the 1940s must have been such an alien experience. Like entering another planet.

[PERVERTBALLMASTER3000 @snqped]

Can any cinema pedophiles recommend me a movie to watch

who this nigga think grok is 😭😭😭

Behold me now. #HOTD

[vids that go hard @vidsthatgohard]

Bellingham watching a van with Mexico plates take Harry Kane after the match

[solé @layxsnv]

these new mosquitos pulling yo pants down & eating yo ass !

[doctor idk @bigmonkeong]

it really pisses me off that a show meant to be watched in black and white has a color version and that colors version looks miles better than most shows coming out today like holy shit is that actual color im seeing???

[Rock Solid @ShitpostRock2]

Women when you tell them you wanna marry them instead of using them as cum dumpsters and abusing them

[VIKARE @vikare06]

This is how this is supposed to look. This is how Star Wars used to look when George Lucas was in charge

[Oku @oku_yungx]

Women stop raping Men.

[sea @neverlie]

Women assault men comfortably bc they know the odds of getting consequences are near zero
