You know, learning chemistry is nice and all, and there's lots of maths and knowledge, but the real special knowledge in doing chemistry is one simple phrase:

"When pouring, you've got to commit"

In my personal worldbuilding I've made it into a proverb "do not spill — pour" to mean "to do something confidently where hesistation guarantees failure".

[–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 8 points 3 weeks ago

I like that! I particularly love that your worldbuilding includes cultural tidbits like that.

Pouring liquids from mugs is the bane of my existence

[–] don@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Next time move the bowl to meet the pour.

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Or hold the cup closer to the bowl

[–] falseWhite@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Put the bowl on top of the mug, and then quickly flip both over.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

put the bowl and the mug in a bigger bowl, then put another big bowl on top and shake

[–] blockheadjt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Doesn't work if there's something already in the bowl like cereal

Why would the dude be pouring milk from a cup into an empty bowl

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

I love how the poured milk pattern is like a Christmas tree

The lesson here is commit or quit

Me putting water in my keurig machine every morning...

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

i need to see this video

[–] NickeeCoco@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

First moment of the liquid distribution is right in the bowl, so what's the problem?

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

You just have to prepare you well enough for the mess.
