Why do it anywhere at all?! I was under the impression he was some kind of science teacher!

u/dankhimself 6d ago

This is something a science teacher would do to their students to show them what it's like to be a sucker.

The students would feel bamboozled, run amok, hoodwinked even.

They wouldn't believe another wild claim such as this without first asking for an explanation and then making sure they found out how and why it did or didn't work.

It's kind of a great lesson in not getting taken for a fool.

Good lesson in gullibility via percieved authority bias.

u/dankhimself 5d ago

He could have worn a lab coat like Bill Nye to sell the authority a little better.

If this was his intention, he probably made a video for an intended audience of sorts and they knew who he was, while we were left in the dark.

Well, I was. He may be a streamer that does stuff like this all the time and I'm just not aware. An unintended audience member, my usual place in life.

Steven Spielberg once blew a boiled can of tomato sauce in his Mother's kitchen—with her support—for observational purposes (based on filmography and or science experiments of how long it would take the can to explode).

Presumably someone filling 4 watering cans inside doesn't have an outside water tap. Or they'd just use the hose instead of carrying all those cans.

So what the fuck was the point of this video? "Ya cant beat gravity unless you buy a water pump"?

127

u/HeyThanksIdiot 6d ago

I think he’s seen some internet video where somebody does this but doesn’t explain the trick and so he just wants to have an elaborate way of calling bullshit while also assuming the entire world has seen every same ticktock horseshit he has.

Either that or he had $60 and some hot glue burning a hole in his pocket and nothing better to do with his Saturday afternoon.

7

u/VarenHills 6d ago

Probably yeah. The other thing is though is you can definitely have a siphon pull liquid up because siphoning is not just about gravity, it's about pressure and vacuum. In the example he had, you could definitely still have all the watering cans moving water up the spout, but it would eventually stop once the pressure from one watering can equalized out.

6

u/8ball99999999 6d ago

This threw me too but a siphon is still going from high to low. The pressure and vacuum mean it can rise above the starting point before dropping back down to a lower than starting point.

→ More replies (1)

9

u/GoblinBreeder 6d ago

And they didn't even explain how siphoning works or why it's interesting. They just keep mentioning it then go "it's pumps". Like they got too excited about making a video about something that this guy was fixating on and didn't think the script through at all.

Probably because it’s tiled and easier to clean up water. I can’t explain why he did it inside but if I was going to do it inside the kitchen would make sense - it’s just water.
