This perfectly encapsulates how anti vaxxers and others think. "Ive thought it through and it cantnbebright". Its incredible how we can have access to vast amounts of information and yet live in an age of gleeful ignorance.

It's not pressure under the wings, it's fucking Bernoulli sucking on top of them.
(So, yes, sure, it is gay, but it's not fake.)
Glue, is how the wings stay on, really good glue
I think large planes "look" like they can't work because their "relative speed" is really low
that is, their speed relative to their length. We're used to seeing birds cover tens of lengths per second, whereas a large airliner covers ~1ish per second at takeoff.
Or not, but this always seemed like a plausible explanation as to why planes look impossible. (Though given that hovering birds don't look funny, maybe this is a silly observation...).
That's a really thoughtful take, I'm glad you shared. I think it has merit. I think proximity is a factor too. The public rarely gets up close to a jet, but I can attest from personal experience they seem much faster when you're closer during takeoff and landing.
Be human.

This person's grasp of physics is like halfway there. Like one more module and they'd calm the fuck down.
