Yes, I knew you would cop out of the bet challenge in a cowardly way, because that would prove you wrong and you don't like to admit it.

Once it hits the end of its line, it is no longer a free body and will take an angle but that angle wouldn’t necessarily be the same as that of the bicycle.
First of all, stop with the repeated "EWW" because it's giving me the creeps. This is just a hypothetical discussion. What's with the this exaggerated child language? Are you a teen girl?
I bolded the part above where you are talking about the behavior of the bob when you drop it, before it becomes tight. I underlined the words after that to prove that you are talking about the freefalling phase. You are not talking about after the line become tight. Don't try to wiggle out of this with some lame excuses. Be a man and own the things that you wrote. Anyway as we established, at this point the line is not involved. The bob is just an independently free falling object. You say "if dropped, it would fall down and away from the corner". But wait, two posts ago your claim was that a dropped object would fall perpendicular to the ground (see quote blow). What happened? It's not straight down perpendicular to the ground anymore? It will "fall away from the corner" now? You changed your mind and there IS an angle now after all??? Did the laws of physics change between yesterday and today in your brain? Hello???

Have a look at the two bolded statements above and realize how hilarious it is that you made a complete 180 without even realizing it. Let me explain to you why you are posting these contradictory statements that change from one post to the next: you have an intuitive understanding of how objects behave; however, at some point in your past you acquired false knowledge about physics. Now that you are confronted by the paradox between your intuition and your false knowledge, your brain is incapable of processing the conflict. You are gyrating. We are witnessing your unraveling in real time.
Anything else you would like to add before I check out of this thread and leave you in your humiliation? I got burnt by your psycho gaslighting last time so this time I will be sure to kick you a few times while you are down.
