      The outer chains are purely for stability of the top. The center one holds all weight.

      Rubber band in the middle is trying to contract, pulling the top of the table up, and the chains keep it level?

    What wizardry is this

      It’s because the system’s centre of gravity is under the table, and on the table’s side of the fulcrum.

  My dad had one made from metal with a guy who had his legs stretched out instead of the bird wings and I think you can guess what was used as the balance point.

      Just so that you know all these things are in terraria and you can attack things with them. Not the fidget spinner but the other things are in there.

  That’s some kind of physics or something.

  • Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I mean…yes? Physics are involved for sure.

    Nope. The wings are weighted so that the bird is perfectly balanced on its beak. You could set it on a pole and it would do the same thing, just didn’t work on a table because the wings tail and belly would be what touched the table.
