Wait how does that work? Do the slots have some effect on the viscosity maybe?

ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca · 36 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Science cannot explain it. Just like how bees can fly or how the tides come in and out.

Bees can fly because of the moon. Read a book.

Bees flying and tides are both well understood now. Tides have been for hundreds of years.

I don't know enough aerodynamics to describe how bumblebees fly

Tides are caused by the sun's and moon's gravity attracting the Earth's land and water.

If you had just said tides, I would have presumed you were being sarcastic, but bumblebee flight wasn't explained until fairly recently (within the last 25 years or so)

Its a quote by an idiot.

Tide goes in, tide goes out.

Liquids tend towards the deepest elevation on the fork, and if that's a slot, it falls through.

AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y

Ah, it's because you're in a gravity field.

Correct, those slots act as viscosity dividers. Each slot decreases viscosity by a factor of 8.

By contrast, the parabolic shape of the other instrument will result in an increase in viscosity.

Wait.... That would turn soup into jello. Viscosity is flow/thickness correct? So a spoon would effect volume, not viscosity.

Might I suggest, should such a terrible fate ever befall you again, that you just tip the soup directly into your fucking mouth? The fork may even be employed to scrap and scoop chucks in the soup towards your gapping maw. I believe you will find this method very functional.

And in a pinch, the fork can also be used as a makeshift implement for punishing those who try to make you eat soup with it.

Or to quote the one thing Jon Snow DOES know: stick em with the pointy end.

Opisek@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 1y

At that point I'll just drink form the bowl.

Looking at the fork, they did pick up some cola.

UNLESS, that was a different liquid.

Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 1y

Yeah, that's Worcestershire sauce thinned with water.

There is a special tool for this!

the spork

Ah yes, the lip eviscerator 2000. Complete with razer sharp spikes on the top of your spoon.

Boomkop3@reddthat.com · 1 pts · 1y

Perfect

What was the one about the car, windows don't make the car go

I think it's just because the house windows are usually rectangle windows and rectangle windows can't roll without like a lumpy road. If you just put the house on a lumpy road I think it would move

Oh shoot you're right. I'm gonna try that real quick.
Edit: it didn't work

Thank you for your service to science, but did you get the length of the base to match the rounded length of the bump, because if those two are mismatched, you're going to get a jamming effect rather than a rolling effect.

you should post that!

Okay, but what about lemonade?

KingJalopy@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 1y

Won't work. Something about the acidity or something.

DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 1y

But what about spork
