When I was young, my mother showed me an educational book that had things like riddles, puzzles, and mental exercises in it. One of these entries had a short, mundane paragraph, followed by some form of “what was wrong with that text?”
It then explained that I had missed the word “the” being on the end of one line but also the start of the next line which, indeed, I did miss. It suggested that the human mind couldn’t see duplicate words split in such a way, at least in English, unless actively looking for them.
I now know that, while it did trick me, its theory was incorrect … Because I can’t not see “from from.”
Perhaps you are the
the chosen one
That seems likely.
Its almost like we arw tought these things cos they have practical use cases.
Clearly you weren’t paying attention in English.
It has no practical use cases.
He sin
I was always better at maths. And dr gpt has solved the english issue.
Obviously
Yes, this is why we study physics.
Looks like part of the tension system on a rope tow style ski lift.
Drag believes this is from an electric railway. The pulleys and weights keep the cable taut so the train can stay connected to it at high speeds.
Catenary is the magic word here
My brother started working for company that makes these things and now he points every little detail on them.
“Look at this insulator” “Look these anchor points are made at factory I visited last week” …
I would subscribe to his YouTube channel!

double pulley, for added complexity
Yeah, memes following the format with top and bottom text very often have repeating word as a joke.
“Joke”
“Joke”
What’s it pull?
Those are things that regulate the tension in the overhead cables on train tracks. With the variation of temperature cables tend to contract/expand and this systems allows the cables to do so freely with a constant tension provided by the weights.
These are so simple and yet so clever. When i noticed them the first time i started noticing them everywhere (on all rail infrastructure).
Is it simple? It looks quite complicated, but maybe that’s just me forgetting how to compute forces.
simple in that it’s just a clever series of wires and pulleys, not some sort of digital adjustment device, i suppose
I as well. Seattle transit, NEC Amtrak and NJ transit live off of these. If these systems work for them, they’ll work for us all
The train duh
And the weights are like a bigger version of the weight-hangers from science classes.
