Boeing 737 MAX 

An airplane that is very capable and will be one of the safest things in the sky once it returns to service. However, all the media want you to know is that it's somehow doomed to be a death trap forever, because fear-mongering and clickbait bring in those oh-so-precious clicks and money.
The Boeing 737 MAX is a good airplane, but it was definitely rushed to the market due to Boeing being greedy. Sadly it took over 300 deaths to have a safe plane :-(

Boeing 737 MAX

Boeing and Airbus are mortal rivals. Boeing designed the 737 back in the 60s, and made the landing gear short as most airports back then lacked infrastructure needed to load passengers and cargo into aircraft that sat higher off the ground. Thus they designed the 737 to sit low to the ground. Then came the 737 classic, with bigger and more efficient engines, (Larger engines = higher bypass ratio = more fuel-efficient), still small enough to fit under the wings, negating the need to make the landing gear taller and a whole lot of recertification. Then came the Airbus A320, which sold like hot cakes. Boeing needed a competitor, so along came the 737NG, same story as the 737 classic. And then came the A320neo, with higher bypass engines, and once again Boeing needed a competitor so the 737 MAX was born. Principally, to fit the Boeing 737 MAX’s larger engines under the wings while keeping the airframe low to the ground, Boeing moved them forward and upwards. The low-slung design also suited low cost carriers which don’t use airport infrastructure (lifts, stairs, jetbridges, etc) to save costs.
The larger engine nacelles can create significant lift at higher angles of attack due to their placement relative to the centre of lift produced by the wings, which can cause the nose to pitch up during flight in certain situations, increasing the likelihood of an unintended and unrecoverable stall which would change the flight characteristics of the aircraft and require recertification and retraining. To avoid this, Boeing created to the MCAS (Manoeuvring Characteristics Augmentation System) software to detect this pitch-up and push the nose back down, so the MAX behaved and flew exactly like a 737NG, classic and all earlier iterations. But Boeing, in their silly rush to compete with the A320neo, coded MCAS to read off one angle of attack (AoA) sensor, and didn’t tell anyone about it’s existence, so pilots knew nothing about it because if they did, they’d need retraining and the MCAS would require certification.
Early reports from Indonesia's Lion Air investigation suggest that a faulty sensor reading triggered the MCAS suddenly after takeoff. It's known that a similar event may had occurred in the recent Ethiopian Airlines crash. Basically the pilots had no knowledge of the software and how to override it since they simply weren’t told about it. The Boeing 737 MAX is very safe now, thankfully.

A slang term for GLP-1 medications(like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, etc.), usually referring to their appetite-killing, weight-loss, or “I forgot to eat” effects rather than the medical details.

Usage:
* Often casual, ironic, or meme-y
* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”

Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
