"winner" spilled several drops, stab that orange with a pencil

    That hug from her friend was so genuinely heartwarming I couldn't help but smile.

    The winner is the teacher's daughter. She watched him test it the night before at home.

    I would've never suspected that stirring water would make something that size rise up.

    But you see, the key to the trick is that size has nothing to do with it, nor does weight. It's all about relative densities. The orange is almost entirely water, with just enough other stuff in it to make it sink. Even a bowling ball will float in water if it weighs less than 12 lbs.

    I would've drank the water

    That was my first strategy. Then, after watching a few attempts, I adjusted that strategy to "set up a new cup and I'll do it" because that water would have been nasty as soon as the first kid dipped their hands.

    What a wholesome antidote to the darkness that pervades. No AI, no screens, just kids learning. Love it.

    Pour some water into the dish then get the mandarin. No water spilled.

    I feel like a drop would have spilled had she gone first. Part of this challenge is to let others fail so that you can succeed in the aftermath

    Use something sharp with low volume (a needle/fork?) so it doesn't spill over.

    So we now have bots posting Facebook slop on here? And the users are upvoting this shit?

    Seems like Lemmy is doomed to go down the same path as every other social media.

    The difference is the comment section here has some coherency to it, isn't sorted to drive engagement, and the platform encourages discussion rather than trying to simultaneously make you interested in this thing but also the next thing so you don't spend too much time talking about this thing instead of seeing ads.

    And no one is trying to use the comment box as a search engine or to message their granddaughter.

    I also don't expect to see many comments on the race of the kids here.

    Maybe the community will eventually go to shit here, too, but the difference between the various social media sites isn't just the content, it's the way the site is run and the kind of people it attracts and keeps.

    Reddit, Instagram, Facebook and every other social media didn't start that way either, they started off good, but then they got worse over time

    Yeah but I'd still argue it wasn't the content that caused that, other than having content attracted more people and there could be some critical mass (though I think it's about when the medium attracts a more mainstream audience that includes people who don't like to think more than they absolutely need to).

    I would have taken the L and fisted it for the next person

    It is funny how even after so many failing each kid still thinks they can magically do it with the same way despite being subject to same physics laws

    Can we not teach children this stuff, please? I need to be able to win bar bets in the future...
