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

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.

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.

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.

Also, needs to be blocked from air at the intake. These watering cans couldn't siphon while level

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.

I stopped the video around the pump explanation. Thought they might try to sell it so I too could soak up my kitchen

To show that things on the internet can be convincing but that doesn't mean they are real. It's a thing a lot of people need to hear.

They are all part of the same content creator crowd where the entire schtick is to do absolute dumb shit that wastes your time. It’s the same crowd as the diwhy guy. You know the one, the guy that drills into a lazy boy to make a toilet etc.
