I have tried this. I got crushed by many of the paper planes.
Alas, that isn’t flying, and my punk ass would have explained exactly that to my dad.
However, my punk ass would also refuse to agree with my kid if they did, because you gotta stick with the bit, or it was a waste of time.
Dad joking is serious business
It was gliding, neither is flight
Unpowered flight is still flight though
I would have a hard time tossing a crumpled paper ball further than a good paper airplane would go.
That’s what I was thinking. The most basic paper airplane, the kind that looks like a fighter jet, will cover a football stadium if thrown right.
Gotta crumple it as tightly as possible. A loose paper ball isn’t gonna go anywhere but a tight one will go far. It’s all about maximizing cross sectional density!
I won’t my paper airplane competition several times in grade school. I was a G. It went way farther than a tightly balled up piece of paper.
A good plane required mathematical precision, not fanciness. In theory they take about a minute to make. The son did not make a mathematically precise plane.
I think the subtext is that the son spent 10 minutes making a piece of crap.
Yeah, this guy hasn’t seen many paper airplanes apparently
y’all clearly never played paper football.
I flicked one across the basketball court in highschool, bleachers to bleachers.
And sadly it’s still the conventional football players that get the trophies.
I think, a slingshot would toss further, also that was what I expected to happen
I make paper fly farther everytime I bring my briefcase on an international flight you losers.
surprised nobody mentioned the father’s flying skills yet
