D2cascheranno@hachyderm.ioSep 22, 2026, 9:25 PM@Natasha_Jay I broke it with a line. Spinny spinny no point of equilibrium
Royroytoo@mstdn.socialSep 22, 2026, 9:48 PM@cascheranno
Your line must have been much better than mine. Mine was wobbly so it found equilibrium fairly quickly.

@cascheranno
Oh, that's longer and thicker than any I've had the same effect with.But yes, similar
@roytoo - D2cascheranno@hachyderm.ioSep 22, 2026, 10:25 PM
@Natasha_Jay @roytoo yup; it appears the applet just closes any perimeter drawn, so the odd thick spots are just our sloppy unstraight spots on a single line. AKA, dumb luck.
- Royroytoo@mstdn.socialSep 23, 2026, 1:38 AM
@cascheranno @Natasha_Jay
Great that you got a video, your line was definitely much straighter than the one I drew. 
Sep 28, 2026, 6:24 AM@cascheranno Interesting approximation.

@cascheranno
A medium sized line drawn fast can spin and never float. Takes a few attempts, but yes... - D2cascheranno@hachyderm.ioSep 22, 2026, 10:01 PM
@Natasha_Jay @roytoo this one seems to put most mass at points inward of ends, leading to a ctr calculated left, then right, etc. It was off-the-cuff, but funny.
The resultant mass done when drawing a 5-line star also is interesting: a spike well-inside a broad murderous shelf which either is just above or just below waterline. YMMV.
The ‘but this doesn’t reflect 3d’ part is beginning to tickle my brain.

@koushiniku
That kind of length and thin, or a line, seems to give the model issues and spinning / flipping without settling 
CIMB4CIMB4@norden.socialSep 23, 2026, 5:38 PM@Natasha_Jay @koushiniku even better: make a star (*) and watch it fly all over the place uncontrolably :blobcat:
Lalalianlalalian@aus.socialSep 23, 2026, 4:09 AM@Natasha_Jay oh that’s so fun! I could spend a long time dithering about with this 😆
Sep 23, 2026, 5:29 AM@Natasha_Jay @Girgias I reckon there's a lot more we could do for research into how ice floats. This tool is just the tip of the iceberg...

I don't think it does in some cases, it should dampen down but ...
