Something I've been curious about, are there paper airplane designs that translate to usable full scale designs? If not, why not?

#23Glad to see that paper airplane culture is still alive, haha. I was looking forward to this day for a while!
Re: Paper Airplane Designs
#24My cousin and I were particularly destructive children and used to build paper airplanes and fly them up into the ceiling fan. Sometimes they'd get caught on a blade and come flying off. Was playing a lot of Starfox 64 at the time, so we imagined we were attacking a boss. We'd try and see how many attacks we could get in before our plane was completely mangled and wouldn't fly anymore. Good times. Another destructive…
Hah, I flew planes into ceiling fans too! I also remember scraping my planes against the floor until holes wore into the paper, and seeing how well they could continue flying. There was something really cool about seeing a plane with so much accumulated damage still able to fly.

#25I tried a lot of paper plane designs and this one is by far the most elegant design and the best flying plane I found so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDiC9iMcWTc The simple flight path in the video does not relly do it justice. When you throw it outside, it will have a beautiful loooong curved flight. When there is some wind, it often goes to explore the sky for quite a while before it comes back down again.…
That's a great one. (The "Suzanne") Wired covered it a few years ago. Simple enough my 7 year old son can do a credible job of folding it.

#26I think it's really cute how they handled the case if the user unchecks all of either the "Type" or "Difficulty" filters hehe
I like the implication that there was a goof on someone’s part.
I get a lot of “yeah but what if they do something like search for things that don’t exist” (or similar situations) and some weird ideas follow about how they user gets confused and the software is supposed to solve all “user behaves illogically” problems and we get some really strange solutions that makes the software even more unpredictable.
Like no man, search for nothing is “yo you goofed and searched for nothing”.

#27Spent a lot of time throwing paper rings: https://www.10paperairplanes.com/how-to-make-paper-airplanes...
you get some really good distance if you throw it like a (american) football, managed to clear a couple city blocks once, thrown on a hot dry day from a high floor at school...

#28There's 48 designs, so this isn't much of a database, more like a short list. For something completely different, my favorite collection of paper planes are those by Jayson Merrill: https://www.youtube.com/@jayson5674 They're the most complex planes I've seen under the restrictions of no cuts and no adhesive. Here's a good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-n6NAbJduk

#29Paper Plane: - 1oz Amaro Nonino - 1oz Aperol - 1oz bourbon - 1oz lemon juice shake with ice, strain to a chilled coupe glass.
I appreciated OpenWRT’s prior release naming system which included cocktail recipes in the Message of the Day (MOTD) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenWrt#:~:text=OpenWrt%20rele....

The fact we have YouTube channels for people making paper airplanes, eating MREs and reviewing junk MP3 players is what keeps me optimistic of the Internet.
