    Fun fact about the cookie cutter shark:
    They, during the Cold War, helped maintain the high tension between the US and USSR by attacking their submarines as they mistook them for whales, resulting in both nations thinking their adversary had found a way to sabotage their vehicles deep underwater.

    Personally, I think the most intuitive way to understand how wings/fins work is as something that deflects the fluid it passes through down. A plane goes up because it pushes air down. A fish goes up for the same reason with water.
    The tricky part is that part of how wings often do this is that they also cause the fluid that passes over them to deflect downwards, due to things like boundary layer effects.
    This can all be modeled in pressure but pressure is generally a lot less intuitive for people.

      I could easily take a shark in a fight; it would swim at me, I would dive and hold against its nose so it cannot bite me whilst I gouge its eyes out. I''ll be taking bets against me, since you fools think this impossible when punching shark noses is already proven to be effective. The killer is people panicking and just letting the thing eat them, like what happened in Egypt recently (poor guy).

    Also worth noting that cookie-cutter shark's bottom teeth are the biggest in comparison to their body size of any shark. They also just swallow their teeth when they're about to shed them. And they almost caused an international incident between the US and Russia during the Cold War. Cookie-cutter sharks were taking chunks out of the rubber sonar cones of nuclear submarines, but the US and Russia didn't know that at first and both sides thought the other was up to some kind of sabotage.

      In air it also relies on creating a pressure difference, this doesn't apply in water, which is essentially in-compressible

      Yes, water is incompressable, but you can also create pressure differentials in water. This is how pumps, props, and faucets work.

      Why do people insist on putting apostrophes where they don't belong? It's "outros." 😛 Also, you don't have to ask permission before talking about something. Just say "Let's/I'm going to talk about how Frank's outros are always original bangers."
