What Can We Learn About Physics From This Donkey's Predicament?
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a humorous video of a donkey being hoisted in the air by an overloaded cart, prompting participants to create free-body diagrams. The donkey's calm demeanor suggests it has experienced this situation before, leading to jokes about the donkey wanting a raise for the New Year. Participants express sympathy for the donkey, noting the inefficiency of unloading the cart from the front, which prolongs the donkey's suspension. The conversation blends humor with a light-hearted critique of the scenario depicted in the video.

Poor donkey! I can only surmise from its calm demeanor that this is far from the first time that that donkey has been hoisted midair by an overloaded cart.

Poor donkey.
Of course, I love how they were unloading the cart from the front first, prolonging the time the poor donkey was suspended in the air. 
Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff!
Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use?
