    take the glass, drink the water, pull out the Mandarin, no drop was spilled.

      Would you want to drink water ten+ kids put their hands in?

        There are clubs in Los Angeles where children’s dirty bathwater cocktails sell for $50.00 a glass.

        Schrodinger’s mandarin?

        Or maybe just as bad, it’s had like 12 school kids’ hands dunked in it before you get a chance at this strategy.

      That’s just spilling it into your mouth.

    “winner” spilled several drops, stab that orange with a pencil

      Yes! I also came here to criticize the little girl.

      Allies unite, I ain’t allowing that munchkin no stole valor.

    The winner is the teacher’s daughter. She watched him test it the night before at home.

      I would’ve never suspected that stirring water would make something that size rise up.

      source
      • prowe45@piefed.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        But you see, the key to the trick is that size has nothing to do with it, nor does weight. It’s all about relative densities. The orange is almost entirely water, with just enough other stuff in it to make it sink. Even a bowling ball will float in water if it weighs less than 12 lbs.

    That hug from her friend was so genuinely heartwarming I couldn’t help but smile.

    What a wholesome antidote to the darkness that pervades. No AI, no screens, just kids learning. Love it.

      In those darkest of times when a smile is so far, remember. Remember jenkem.

  • jello@programming.dev ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I feel like a drop would have spilled had she gone first. Part of this challenge is to let others fail so that you can succeed in the aftermath

      The cup is filled to the same level when she sticks her finger in, as it was at the start of the video. Also, the water gets refilled throughout the video.

      • towerful@programming.dev ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yeh, it’s clear there is a suitably similar amount of water in the glass each time, even when there is water in the dish below

        source
  • SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    I would’ve drank the water

    source
    • Buddahriffic@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      That was my first strategy. Then, after watching a few attempts, I adjusted that strategy to “set up a new cup and I’ll do it” because that water would have been nasty as soon as the first kid dipped their hands.

        At least half of lemmy users are autistic. I’ve never seen a group less capable of picking up on sarcasm.

        That’s okay, it wasn’t that good of a joke. I did edit the wording to make it more obvious, though…

      I want to be smarter than those around me without me having to put in any actual effort.

    Step 1: put the plate on the glass as a lid

    Step 2: hold the two together firmly, quickly turn them upside down

    Step 3: trivial, the next person can easily figure it out from here.

    • skoell13@lemmy.zip ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Love that trick. You can even do it with a sheet of paper (if there’s not too much water in the glass), put it onto a table, and pull the paper out.

  • gmtom@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    So we now have bots posting Facebook slop on here? And the users are upvoting this shit?

    Seems like Lemmy is doomed to go down the same path as every other social media.

    source
    • Buddahriffic@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      The difference is the comment section here has some coherency to it, isn’t sorted to drive engagement, and the platform encourages discussion rather than trying to simultaneously make you interested in this thing but also the next thing so you don’t spend too much time talking about this thing instead of seeing ads.

      And no one is trying to use the comment box as a search engine or to message their granddaughter.

      I also don’t expect to see many comments on the race of the kids here.

      Maybe the community will eventually go to shit here, too, but the difference between the various social media sites isn’t just the content, it’s the way the site is run and the kind of people it attracts and keeps.

        Reddit, Instagram, Facebook and every other social media didn’t start that way either, they started off good, but then they got worse over time

    Pour some water into the dish then get the mandarin. No water spilled.

    Use something sharp with low volume (a needle/fork?) so it doesn’t spill over.
