It is imperative that the cylinder not be harmed.
It’s a cylinder
… the cylinder knows where it is, because it knows where it isn’t: where it was, and where it likely will be.

In conclusion, the physical properties of penguins constitute a suboptimal replacement for graphite moderation of neutron propogation in a nuclear reactor.
Further, tested penguins were largely non responsive to all different training approaches attempting to have them associate the verbal command “Scram!” with the desired behavior of promptly entering the reactor pool.

Help! Something sensitive is stuck in a cylinder and I need to get it out…
You should only ever use penguins with a flared base
Ok, but let me see the the source code of the cylinder.
Sorry but even after doing that it is still clear we need more tariffs on the penguins whether we assume they are cylinders or not.
Not sure if it’s popular internationally, but in Russian, “a calculation for a spherical horse in vacuum” is used quite often
Spherical cows is the one I always hear.
What does it mean?
It’s when you make some calculations or plans, but they would only work in “perfect” conditions. Like when you have an assignment about a horse running from A to B, and you made some calculations, but you disregard horse’s shape, friction, air resistance, and gravity
And the horse
Oh cool, thanks for explaining! I guess the closest equivalent phrasing I’m used to would be “sounds good on paper” - or in Scotland (home for me) someone would probably reply with "Aye, and if my granny had wheels she’d be a bike.” 😂
Nah, that’s more like russian “if grandmother had balls, she’d be grandfather”
Now assume pi is 4. Proceed to have a nervous breakdown.
20 points.
…In a vacuum.
It is not a square cylinder.
A triangular cylinder is right out.
(…) of uniform density in a neutral vacuum.
…of bird like material which can be represented by a mass average of bone and flesh. This can be used in bird strike simulations for studying aircraft windshield performance as compared to thawed penguins shot out of a pneumatic canon. (I actually went to a talk that discussed exactly this except you replace “penguin” with “bird” in general).
… how many linux users got mad?
Enough to create at least 5 different distros
Other than break accessibility, searchability, fault tolerance, & make the web less usable, what is this image of text lacking alt text doing that real text doesn’t?
As opposed to a rectangular cylinder
I always compared pinguins with a Klein Bottle
