@CoolerPseudonym @youseeatortoise exactly. Good word lol
Zorro Notorious MEB 😡@ElleGray A frayed knot?

I don't think this image correctly describes what's going on.
The plastic (I assume plastic) connectors would be trying to UN-fold, stretching the string out. Not fold flat & collapse.
@MugsysRapSheet if you held a string up in the air like that and let go, it would collapse. The tension in the plastic is holding it up.
@ElleGray
That was my point exactly. It has nothing to do with the string being "stressed out" and everything to do with it being *stretched* out (you could have done the same thing with a single piece of plastic. It simply looks more "confusing" using multiple staggered strips.)

AT-AT Assault 🏳️⚧️The string is stressed. Any load is a stress. It's engineering terminology.

By that same logic, a "Tug-o-War" rope "wants to collapse but can't b/c of the 'stress' of men pulling on each end."

skua@MugsysRapSheet @ElleGray
I think criticising the analysis that ignores the necessary tension in the string is more fruitful.
Or "EN sucks in so many ways".
@skua @MugsysRapSheet you guys ought to stop this now. The original post was just a joke. No indepth scientific analysis is really needed. Besides which, stress and tension are similar forces in many areas of science, so it's fine even if you really, really feel the need to be nitpicky and pedantic about it.

murks@ElleGray This is actually pretty ingenious.
Pablo Martini@ElleGray your knot like that are you?
Seiðr@ElleGray @DamagedBrainzs That string is me during my PhD.
Anyarchiste 😸 🏳️⚧️@ElleGray OMG that string is indeed a mood
Mark Pauley@ElleGray Those pieces of plastic just want to flop
But that knotty string don’t know when to stop
