I’m trying to work out how to model the destruction of the towers using glizzies. What would I have to build the towers out of if I wanted to throw hotdogs at them to destroy them?
Cardboard is obviously too strong. Wax paper has too much tensile strength but crumples satisfactorily. Does anyone have ideas on what I should use as the tower materials?
There truly are stupid questions.
Uh, spaghetti and blu tack? It would probably need extra weight though. Reinforced wet sand?
I would use your mom. She goes down so easily.
TOO easily, though. OP wants something that requires at least some effort.
I feel like this belongs in shittyasklemmy.
For what purpose?
hot dogs can’t melt steel beams

0.67 percent the speed of light would be enough. That’s mach 5800, or 2000 km/s. A 50g hot dog would have around 10^11 J kinetic energy.
If you accelerated a 50g hot dog to 10 percent light speed you’d probably have enough energy there to destroy civilization.
What level of accuracy are you looking for? The towers weren’t destroyed by the jets; they punched holes in the side and damaged the overall structural integrity while starting massive fires and causing glass to shatter.
The towers were demolished after the fact via controlled explosive charges because they were no longer safe to enter.

Source on that? Wikipedia seems to say that they suffered a progressive collapse on their own in part because of structural damage from the hits, in part from fires heating the steel supports enough to seriously weaken them.
Dried ramen? You’ll need to fill the weiners with fuel, if you haven’t already.
Ricotta cheese, 42 days old.
Paper walls. Maybe popsicle stick framing. If regular paper is too thick still, that thin stuff you use for gift bags should be ok. Or if you’re really desperate tissues or low quality toilet paper.
playing cards of course.
jenga towers?
That’s kind of perfect
