A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Gyroscopes, gyroscopic procession, density separation, centripetal force, induction, magnetism, Coriolis effect....

Turns out spinning things really fast is amazing!

Sure, but that's not nearly as funny as oversimplifying it

Spin science!

We should take one of those ballistic jelly torsos, and put it into a massive gyroscope and spin it see what happens

My hypothesis is: SQUISH!!
