A friendly place to chat.
No politics please. Don't be a dick.
The amount of gravitational pull you feel is partly offset by centrifugal force, which varies depending on how close you are to the equator, and on how far you are above sea level. According to your bathroom scales, you weigh more in Edinburgh than in London.
Edinburgh here. Glad to know that it's physics, and not those pancakes I had for lunch.
Based on my diet when I was there, I'm lucky I didn't collapse into a neutron star or something.
Hmm, I was fatter when we lived up in Newcastle. This checks out.
Alternative weight loss techniques include making the planet spin faster or else hollowing it out entirely, neither of which would have any negative repurcussions as far as I can see.
That's cool. Looks like R?
Yes! And as far as I can tell, there isn't an R community on here to join yet...
