Things I don’t find funny.
From a very late diagnosed #ActuallyAutistic perspective.
On April 1, in some parts of the world, deliberate mistruths will be told to try and fool people.
Here in the UK this has now become standard government policy.

In Brazil April Fool’s Day is known as: ‘Dia da mentira’ (day of the lie).
How interesting that so many societies make fun of people for believing what they’re told, rather than for telling lies.
This ‘put down’ category of humour is pervasive and has never seemed funny to me.

A crucial factor in determining if something is funny is unkindness.
Anything resembling bullying is deeply unfunny to me.
I even find self-deprecating humour distasteful.
“Where’s your sense of humour?” they say while dishing out demeaning banter.
Not here, that’s for sure.

Porpoising is an issue on most 2022 #F1 cars.
Red Bull have found their solution in a very clever & legal suspension innovation. So they can now run super close to the track.
With gas springs and inerters banned, they've exploited a non-newtonian fluid filled damper.

Everyone knows from home science experiments that non newtonian fluids are liquid, but become semi solid when a large force is applied to them. Like the Corn starch on a speaker experiment, even custard is a NNF!
I spoke to RBRs ex-Honda suspension engineer, Kesonyu-san about the system. The NNF filled damper does not affect normal suspension movement, but when the car starts to porpoise its non newtonian properties resist the bouncing. 'Porpoising Intervention Engineering' he calls it !
