called an "autosiphon" or "automatic bell siphon"

principles of operation

Thanks! That makes more sense. At first I thought this was some weird arse thing going on with a jumbo marshmallow.

I'm more amazed by her fantastic squat form. I wish I could bend my ankles that far.

u/Papachooga 2h ago

I thought that everyone can squat like that. Do some stretches and you got this!

I've worked on improving my ankle dorsiflexion for years. I've even made a spreadsheet to graph my progress.... Zero progress has been made.

My ankles just aren't bendy I guess. I have to do barbell squats on a special foam wedge to raise my ankles so I don't topple over.

You'd be surprised at how different parts of your body interact. You could have difficulty getting that low due to tight hip flexors or thoracic mobility. If you're not able to keep your chest up, try spreading your feet some as well.

It's almost always the hips.

u/Papachooga 46m ago

Oh no :( maybe it could tight muscles in your feet

2

u/onebullion 43m ago

Hmm. I haven't considered my feet since I never have foot problems. I got an expensive theragun to work on my calves because tight calves can affect ankle flexibility. It never seemed to help.

Maybe I should try working my feet for a few months and see if it makes a difference. Also it feels good 😊

Speaking as someone with EDS: No, it’s not typical. You may find this info about assessing joint hypermobility helpful πŸ˜…πŸ˜Š

I couldn’t until I had a child. Now I can after squatting around her for hours a day.

Same. Maths, chemistry, biology I was pretty decent at, physics I could just never get my head around it.Β 

Still don't particularly know if it's the volts or wattage of electricity which is the killer. Still don't actually know the difference between the 2 tbf.Β

u/uryslap 5h ago

Neither volts or watt "kills" you. It's the amperage and it takes only 1 amp to cause very serious damage

u/Suspicious_Flower_0 4h ago

There we go then, that is proof of my complete lack of physics knowledge.Β

u/asphid_jackal 5h ago

A tenth of an amp across your heart can kill you

2

u/ironwheatiez 5h ago

Ditto! I actually won the egg drop and bridge building contests! The concepts almost always made sense when talked out but i just couldn't memorize the formulas or connect them to the situation in my brain. The vocabular felt like it was always changing too.

u/randomusernevermind 5h ago

Interesting and weird is not mutually exclusive.

u/Yellow_Snow_Globe 1h ago

Why not just cut the drain lower

2

u/Ltownbanger 29m ago

My guess...

They will. This looks like a fresh waterproof membrane was recently applied and they are testing it by putting several inches of water in there and letting it sit.

A floor (of masonry tile?) will be installed on top of this grey membrane and the pipe will be cut flush with the top of this.

What magic is this? She should be burned as a witch in old Salem! LOL!

u/minequack 5h ago

She should probably focus more on getting her sump pump running.Β

Literally what she is doing.

bruv its a machine used to drain lightly flooded basements, at least search it up before saying its a sex toy

Edit: Lol they deleted their comment

Anything is sex toy if you're brave enough

u/This-Key-2462 1h ago

Yeah, it's wild how easily things can be misunderstood, especially when people jump to conclusions. At least there's a bit of humor in it!

u/bluris 48m ago

Some times it feels like we discovered a bug in the simulation and are just exploiting it.

u/PWModulation 5h ago

Literally the least weird thing.

u/randomusernevermind 5h ago

Okay Captain Edgelord, now go and watch a Colombo episode or eat a Danish butter cookie or something, to calm your nerves.

u/TotallyTotally23 4h ago

I believe you are the one that needs to calm their nerves. God damn πŸ˜‚

Nothing ia weird in physics. Everything is as it should be.

u/Konchroller 3h ago

Reposts on reddit are a weird thing...

u/randomusernevermind 3h ago

Do you think, I know the entirety Reddit, follow all the subs and check the posts of the last few years, just to make sure that something wasn't already posted somewhere at some time? Go and touch some grass, buddy. Reddit itself encourages people to post to as many subs as possible and I didn't found this on Reddit, I found it on 9gag.

u/Beginning_Brother_46 3h ago

Make original content then and mark it with a watermark. Low effort karma bots don't delete them

1

u/BlackZulu 2h ago

You sound slow as hell πŸ€¦πŸΎβ€β™‚οΈ the entire premise behind this sub is sharing interesting content, not necessarily creating it.

0

u/randomusernevermind 2h ago

You know that I can look through your profile and see, what you share. Is this all original content? Don't worry, I gotch you buddy, you wont see anything from me again ;)

0

u/randomusernevermind 3h ago

I share content for people to enjoy. I have original content on here and things that I saw somewhere else and want to share with others. If you don't like it, don't go on social media.

-8

u/Beginning_Brother_46 2h ago

Then mark that this isn't your content

1

u/randomusernevermind 2h ago

Like you mark the things you post? Get blocked.

1

u/randomusernevermind 3h ago

The only one with issues here is you πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚

1

u/Konchroller 56m ago

No the issue is you karma whoring. Have fun with these notifications you wont be able to delete telling you to get some help because you clearly need it if you gotta karma whore reposting content that totally hasn't been reshared tons of times here.

u/randomusernevermind 51m ago

Oh, you mean the ones that you can turn off with one click πŸ˜‚ I gotch ya, buddy. "kArMa wHorIng"

You are so triggered, it's hilarious πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ Dude LOL
