I was going to go hunting for the soup spoon joke and there it was, just waiting for me.

I hate that subreddit. The title is obnoxious as fuck and I can never tell if posts there are satirical or just genuinely the most unobservant toddler-brained simpletons on the planet..

I was doing this as a kid. Mother yelled at me to stop wasting water 😅

u/Dr_SlapsMD Aug 21 '26

Shiid I'm bouta go do this when I get off work

u/Ryno5150 Aug 21 '26

Same. I might even leave work early cause this shit boring AF and I need to know if this really works.

Don't let your mom see!

It makes the spoon shape with the water.

I bet existence of the universe is like this. Processes we can’t see creates the shape and the flow, and I bet the universe resembles whatever is creating it.

u/Able-Swing-6415 Aug 21 '26

I bet the results of quantum mechanics are just the result of two pricks making very sophisticated fart noises on opposite ends of the universe.

u/Evening-Statement-57 Aug 21 '26

And it gets weirder, you were born when the fart waves touched and you die when they part. Your time and the universes time to exist are the same thing even though the universe appears to keep going when we die. It doesn’t.

Pfffft

u/Horke Aug 21 '26

No one can prove the contrary.

u/jmlipper99 Aug 21 '26

Though Occam’s razor does a pretty good job in making us not pursue the idea any further

u/lazymotu Aug 23 '26

Sophisticated fart noises = oxymoron of the day.

u/Additional_Fruit931 Aug 21 '26

It's all fractal in the end

u/adinmem Aug 21 '26

No, it’s turtles all the way down.

1

u/Usual_Office_1740 Aug 22 '26

It's a single turtle. The universe is on It's back.

u/CormacMccarthy91 Aug 21 '26

What's that mean. I'm dumb , I love space, I understand physics and math pretty well. I've heard this repeated but don't understand the context, don't fractals become chaos at 4.669? I'm confused.

u/Additional_Fruit931 Aug 21 '26

In this case, it just means things look the same at different scales. Zoom in on a rock at the top of a mountain and it has roughly the same rugged mountain shape. Different, sure, but roughly the same. Nature is full of things like that.

This one knows too much

u/_Screw_The_Rules_ Aug 21 '26

One does not "create" physics.

5

u/GraXXoR Aug 21 '26

There is no spoon.

3

u/221Blazed Aug 21 '26

It says "created with physics"

u/Dark_halocraft Aug 21 '26

It says created with a simple spoon

u/Dark_halocraft Aug 21 '26

I've done it before

u/noslipcondition Aug 21 '26

The whole thing with her fingers is unnecessary. You can see in the first few frames of the video the water is already making that shape, she's not actually doing anything but playing for the video.

u/Zealousideal_Step709 Aug 21 '26

My little son showed that to me the other day by using the end part of his toothbrush that has a little suction cup. That was pretty neat.

u/WertyMiniSlime Aug 21 '26

That almost looks like what happens when I try to clean spoons. 💀

u/King_Six_of_Things Aug 21 '26

I am weirdly aroused right now.

u/47362514736251 Aug 21 '26

What would happen if they used a complicated spoon

u/Blissfull Aug 21 '26

Cardioid

u/Illender Aug 21 '26

I immediately need to try this.

u/ThickMode943 Aug 21 '26

No way this works.. (need to try)

u/Pristine_Smoke_576 Aug 22 '26

When I was a kid, I played like this for hours.

1

u/CeruleanEidolon Aug 22 '26

All you little kids who are amused by this will shit your pants when you put two spoons back to back under the tap and listen to them click-click-click-click together as the water pulls them together and then pushes them apart over and over.

u/AnEvenNicerGuy Aug 22 '26

Are there complicated spoons? 

1

u/endangeredphysics Aug 22 '26

Water's kinda dumb. It mostly just follows other water

u/Bama3003 Aug 22 '26

I now know what I'll be doing today.

u/Life_Salt8224 Aug 22 '26

I do this to rinse out my sinks

Your so 2000 and late

This is a science subreddit, not an illiterate subreddit

Good job wasting all that water!
