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 11d ago

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

u/Ryno5150 11d ago

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.

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 11d ago

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

No one can prove the contrary.

u/jmlipper99 11d ago

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

u/lazymotu 9d ago

Sophisticated fart noises = oxymoron of the day.

u/Additional_Fruit931 11d ago

It's all fractal in the end

u/adinmem 11d ago

No, it’s turtles all the way down.

1

u/Usual_Office_1740 10d ago

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

u/CormacMccarthy91 11d ago

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 11d ago

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

One does not "create" physics.

u/GraXXoR 11d ago

There is no spoon.

2

u/221Blazed 11d ago

It says "created with physics"

3

u/Dark_halocraft 11d ago

It says created with a simple spoon

1

u/Dark_halocraft 11d ago

I've done it before

u/Zealousideal_Step709 11d ago

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/noslipcondition 11d ago

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/WertyMiniSlime 11d ago

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

u/King_Six_of_Things 11d ago

I am weirdly aroused right now.

u/47362514736251 11d ago

What would happen if they used a complicated spoon

u/Blissfull 11d ago

Cardioid

u/Illender 11d ago

I immediately need to try this.

u/ThickMode943 10d ago

No way this works.. (need to try)

u/Pristine_Smoke_576 10d ago

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

1

u/CeruleanEidolon 10d ago

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 10d ago

Are there complicated spoons? 

1

u/endangeredphysics 10d ago

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

u/Bama3003 10d ago

I now know what I'll be doing today.

u/Life_Salt8224 10d ago

I do this to rinse out my sinks

Good job wasting all that water!
