#22Sidenote: Good demonstration that even in 2021 jQuery has its place as the right tool for the job: quickly hacking together a small project.

#23I get interesting results if I draw a figure 8 (or a figure ∞). I wonder if it's treating one of the lobes as having negative density.
If you extend the infinity sideways (easy with touch, hard with mouse) it seems to depend on how many lobes there are. 3, 5, or 7 is stable, 4, 6, or 8 is very unstable.

#24Draw an hour glass and the iceberg will fly away off the screen lol
Good besides

#25This appears to be trying to find the direction of the Normal Force on the center of mass..

Figure of 8 icebergs fly off, then sink completely and finally float. Fun stuff. Is the source available?
And some of them completely disappear!

#27Great page! Was this inspired by https://twitter.com/GlacialMeg/status/1362557149147058178 ? Try drawing the infinity symbol under water - mine jumped out of the water! It even jumped off screen, and ended up like an 8, half submerged, half above water. My other attempt hit the water/air boundary from below, and bounced back towards the bottom, off screen again, and reappeared in a bit.
Clearly yes. The page links to that exact tweet, and says it was the inspiration.

#28It would be cool if you could draw multiple icebergs and see how they bump into each other/displace the water when multiple are next to each other.

Yes, you can see the source just by doing "view source" in the browser. It's nicely commented and everything.

#30Hmm... what determines whether an iceberg would flip over? I tried drawing bowl-shaped icebergs, one upright and one upside-down. Both stayed in their general orientation without flipping over.
