A World Without Friction
#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @maniacalmorgan
What would our world be like without friction? Things would be drastically different, that's for sure. Ultimately, life would cease to exist. We wouldn't be able to drive without friction, we wouldn't be able to walk, we wouldn't be able to live. All these are kind of big deals, but let's take a look at some of the smaller things that would be missed.
You could kiss any form of sexual stimulation goodbye. Sure, you'd be able to feel pressure, but the friction is what does the job! Whether it be masturbation or good old fashioned sex, you'd be completely out of luck. Orgasms come from friction: rubbing of the nerves located in the nether regions!
Skydiving wouldn't really work out too well. Without friction, there would be no terminal velocity. Not only would you just keep gaining speed, how would your parachute work? Essentially, it is creating enough friction with the air to slow you down. You would just keep falling ... faster and faster... that's a scary thought.
Sitting still would be impossible. Friction is what keeps your ass planted in a chair. Without it, you'd slide right off. Standing still would be impossible as well. You'd just be in a perpetual state of motion. You'd have to sleep strapped to your bed. Now that would be kinky!
There would be no lighting a match or using a lighter in a frictionless world. If you needed to start a fire for some reason, it would have to be with a magnifying glass and the sun. Once that sun is down, you're shit out of luck. Better have that fire going or you're going to freeze to death!
If you guys can think of other things that can't be done without friction, let me know!
