Ambystoma- Homo Sapien Blood Principle

The Ambystoma- Homo Sapien Blood Principle is a proven law that states that the blood of a salamander can be placed inside of a human with no bad consequences. In fact over 300 Cambodians have 100% of their blood deriving from local salamanders. This new advance in medical technology is a promise for a bright future.
Thanks to the Ambystoma- Homo Sapien Blood Principle, we can use salamander blood to help sustain humans.

Scientific Principle

Scientific principles are general rules that are followed while doing science or rules that nature tends to follow.
Scientific Principle Examples
The Principle of Least Time a.k.a. Fermat's Principle which states that "light travels between two given points along the path of shortest time."

The principle of cause and effect which states that in order for something to happen there must be an underlying cause or is contingent.

Archimedes Principle: the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object

Examples where principles guide peoples actions would be: making sure all your hypotheses are testable and falsifiable (as opposed to unfalsifiable claims, see Russell's Teapot)

Principled Petty

When someone acts like they're doing something out of a principle or high-minded belief, but it's really just a rationalization for being petty. Usually the excuse will involve a concept like rights, laws, economics, or justice. The term is frequently used on Am I The Asshole Podcast.
"I don't tip. Why should consumers pay for a business' labor costs?"
"You sure you're not just a principled petty a-hole?"

"Mike said he didn't invite Jenny to his party because it's his right."
"He's just being principled petty - obviously this is about Jenny calling him out for stealing $20."

Jennings Principle

"When the cost of efficiency is greater than the cost of inefficiency"
when the cost and efficiency to build the wall in a factory and ship it, is actually more than the having the inefficient carpenter build it onsite is the Jennings Principle at work.

Archimede's principle

An object is immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
When I got in the tub, the water level rose. Must be Archimede's principle.

Breezy’s Principle of Objects

A idiom thought up by a great philosopher which states, “Any object that of any size, shape, or threat level, has most likely been used by person, or people, to fuck, and feel pleasure from.”
Person 1: *staring at cheese grater*
Person 2: What’s up? why are you staring at that so intensely

Person 1: Imagine if like, someone tried to fuck this?
Person 2: Well, given Breezy’s Principle of Objects, it probably has been fucked before

Person 1: you’re right... that’s a brave soul
