Woudn't having a spring under it be more efficient than a weird bent strap? I can't imagine it would launch the baby too far.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 year ago

Weird bent strap is called a "leaf spring."

[-] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Ah, thanks for the knowledge! Is it stronger than a twisty spring?

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago

Eh they make em of all varying sizes and strengths, just kind of a "use the right one for the job" situation I think.

[-] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, you can choose to throw the baby into dad's arms or out of the window.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Well I meant more like "eject a spent shell casing" or "suspension in your whole ass car," but yeah lol.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

They didn't have such advanced spring technology back then.

It's still inferior to the medieval baby trebuchet.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yeah but the baby trebuchet is how we got all this stork nonsense, we can’t go back to random babies dropping from the clouds.

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 year ago

random babies dropping from clouds is no way to form a government!
