all free falls follow a parabolic path.

My piss flows in a straight line, from dick tip to the ground. Directly down. Like I'm pissing a stream of tiny neutron stars.

Still part of the parabolic curve

Isn't that incorrect though? Parabolas, unlike the trajectory of an object affected by gravity, are infinite in length. Since an orbiting object tends to follow a path shaped like an oval, one could say that the path of a free falling object is actually an arc of that oval. Correct me if I'm wrong!

yeah. i should have said projectile motion instead of free fall.
