According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.

The Quote
"According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway. Because bees don't care what humans think is impossible."
The Science & Myth
• The Origin of the Myth: The idea that bees cannot fly comes from a 1930s rumor. A French entomologist (August Magnan) and a mathematician (André Sainte-Laguë) supposedly applied rigid fixed-wing airplane equations to an insect and calculated that it shouldn't work.
• The Reality: Bees do not break any laws of physics. Unlike airplanes with rigid wings, a bee flaps its wings rapidly in a figure-8 motion. This motion creates a mini-whirlwind of air—known as a leading-edge vortex—which generates enough lift to support the bee's weight.

Glippy
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.
