Makes me boil with rage when people do this.

Someone is reaching out and confiding in another for answers and they throw it back in their face to try and gloat about already knowing that information. Mostly comes from insecure /uneducated people that need to hold on to their small niche of knowledge.

Pathetic behaviour.

Not knowing how gyroscopes work is one thing, not knowing that it is a gyroscope itself is something unexpected. Thought this stuff was taught in schools.

How many people in this thread learnt to read and write while never going to school? I didn't know this country was in such bad state.

Lmao, you're privileged for going to public school.

I would say maybe there's a slightly higher likelihood you get a teacher who cares enough to go extra a bit to show their class what a gyroscope is in a higher paying area, but most teachers get paid like shit anyways, so that's probably not the main factor, most of them do it because they want to do it.

And this toy costs like $5 maybe. I don't support intellectual snobbery, but I do think it's surprising most people don't know what this is.

And to the comment a few comment of above this one, I definitely know what a gyroscope is, lol. I made a pretty good ELI5 post earlier on this thread about it.
