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

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

        They actually figured out bees around the pandemic, busy time so it was easy to miss. They can fly because the beelieve they can, pretty much the same aerodynamic principle as Santa

        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)

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

    OK. In some ways I hate to say it, but I feel compelled. I’ve been in the unfortunate circumstance of having to eat soup with a fork. It is very possible, but slow. You the the area behind the tines (those slots)? It is curved with a fair amount of surface area. This can act as a small unstable spoon with practice or desperate need.

      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.

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

    UNLESS, that was a different liquid.

        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

            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 must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren’t unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
