    All of that nonsense not withstanding, did y’all know there was a Roku channel with a bunch of old sumo wrestling tournaments? Kids and I are betting on the 2017 one now, and I have to stop them from running into each other

    They just pulled it off of a conveyor so, due to the transitive properties of conveyor magic, it still had some of the magic in it. Once that magic dissipates enough, the toothpick will break and the water bottle will fall down.

    That, and there's a crystal out of frame focusing it's energy onto it.

    My sister loves to post anything regarding science, science is real, “in this house we believe in science and not superstition,” etc.

    But then she also posts stuff like “my son put these crystals in a bowl of salt and sat them outside so they’ll harness the power of the full moon. I love his inquisitive spirit!”

    I’m probably not using the right terms here, but:

    When he adds the second and third toothpicks you can see it shifts the string back under the edge of the table. The mass of the water bottle is also shifted towards the table, and under the first toothpick. Now the downward force is really on the center, or closer to the center. of the first toothpick, which is solidly on the table.

    So what he’s done is shift the center of gravity, or fulcrum or whatever the heck it’s called.

    Basically, gravity pulls down. As long as the centre of gravity of the system that is hanging is below solid table, it's effectively pulling down at that point. There are some forces that are being applied to the angular toothpicks that are pushing the load/centre of gravity under the table, but it's not the full force of the downward pulling load, so can handle the forces. The vast majority of the forces are being handled by the rope/cord.

    Thanks. I understand it now, but it still looks weird to me.

    Also, can you use the toothpicks to fly through a hurricane?

    The real question is- Did George Soros rig that video to perpetuate the myth of modern physics, and in doing so advance the agenda of the New World Order?

    If you saw a table with this toothpick/rope/water bottle, and also a person, several feet apart on an ice-covered lake...
