They’re gunna need a bigger boat.


That’s a strong fishing line!


Give me a fishing line strong enough and a boat to place it and I will reel in a catch 1024 kg.

It’s all about leverage

And he does, because that’s yo momma on the boat


In that case there would be no Buoyancy left




I know there’s a math joke or something here but I’ve done this for real and it’s fucking embarrassing lol


If they manage to reel it in, what happens? Does Earth get a new orientation?
