2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $1675.86Goal: $10000
Information icon.svg At the chicken coop, we are currently voting on a change to the blocking policy to clarify when offsite behavior such as harassment and brigading can get someone banned from RW. A reminder that you need at least 75 edits and to have had an account for at least 3 months to vote.

Quote from Family Guy is not funny or "isnt Progressive enough"[edit]

I just saiding that quote is intentionally supposedly funny, I dont believe is not funny by least even is sterotypically outdated put its around as 20 to 30% as somewhere between 2000s or 2010s , All and beside that Show itself is infamous episodes like "Quagmire's Dad" are strongly accused to have Transphobic tones that treating their Major character Quagmire's father transexuality as mistake. 98.27.29.192 (talk) 02:39, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

Kitty Hawk's Flyer's Wings[edit]

While we are all aware of the effects of lift during flight, the drooping wings are actually a feature of the design. The Wright Brothers built the Flyer with Anhedral wings (Wings with a downward angle from the wing base) to minimize the effects of crosswinds. If the Flyer had a straight wing or one with a slight Dihedral (Inverse of the Anhedral wing), the Flyer would be pushed off course or even tipped by crosswinds. Therefore the picture of the quarter is accurate. — Unsigned, by: Armycat296 / talk / contribs
