    Wait how does that work? Do the slots have some effect on the viscosity maybe?

        They actually figured out bees around the pandemic, busy time so it was easy to miss. They can fly because the beelieve they can, pretty much the same aerodynamic principle as Santa

        Bees flying and tides are both well understood now. Tides have been for hundreds of years.

        I don’t know enough aerodynamics to describe how bumblebees fly

        Tides are caused by the sun’s and moon’s gravity attracting the Earth’s land and water.

        If you had just said tides, I would have presumed you were being sarcastic, but bumblebee flight wasn’t explained until fairly recently (within the last 25 years or so)

      Liquids tend towards the deepest elevation on the fork, and if that’s a slot, it falls through.

    OK. In some ways I hate to say it, but I feel compelled. I’ve been in the unfortunate circumstance of having to eat soup with a fork. It is very possible, but slow. You the the area behind the tines (those slots)? It is curved with a fair amount of surface area. This can act as a small unstable spoon with practice or desperate need.

      Might I suggest, should such a terrible fate ever befall you again, that you just tip the soup directly into your fucking mouth? The fork may even be employed to scrap and scoop chucks in the soup towards your gapping maw. I believe you will find this method very functional.

        And in a pinch, the fork can also be used as a makeshift implement for punishing those who try to make you eat soup with it.

        Or to quote the one thing Jon Snow DOES know: stick em with the pointy end.

        I think it’s just because the house windows are usually rectangle windows and rectangle windows can’t roll without like a lumpy road. If you just put the house on a lumpy road I think it would move

            Thank you for your service to science, but did you get the length of the base to match the rounded length of the bump, because if those two are mismatched, you’re going to get a jamming effect rather than a rolling effect.
