Water doesnt go down a drain, the drain actually goes up the water (lemmy.world)

if you take into account how the earth is moving all the time then the water isn’t actually going anywhere, its all just stationary while the earth moves every object around the water as necessary.

This energy: You have to relax

I couldn't decide; maybe Forehead oilstar, or My hands are knives. But probably mostly "Relax."

Why isn't the water moving with the earth?

IDK have you never thought before?

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 14 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I do think every second im conscious but such a though never crossed my mind in my entire life. That's because i know how gravity works.

but do you know how ShowerThoughts work

[–] BonerMan@ani.social 11 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, but shower thoughs are usually not something that is unbelievably stupid and so wrong that even a first grader or kindergarden child would not think such a thing.

Like, how did you even begin to think that? This didn't start in the shower, there was something wrong before the shower.

No offense but, have you seen two different water streams going in two different directions? Do you know earth is a globe?

This post have this energy:

The more i think about it, even though it's technically incorrect, i know what you mean lol. Yet it only works on the northern hemisphere, on southern hemisphere the water goes up the drain.

?? understood you till then end, you know north isnt actually the top?

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 1 points 8 hours ago

Ohh sorry, i messed up what direction earth is moving in.

I can’t believe you’d agree with OP that itsy bitsy water goes up the spider spout.
