Yep. And the ‘flat earthers’ really have fun with this one.

So the first post is a fraud already?

Water drains based on how it’s introduced to the system. The Coriolis Effect is too weak to act on a toilet or sink or whatever.

Does the Coriolis Effect Determine the Direction Water Goes Down a Drain?

This notion is is one of the most prominent scientific myths.

But he 'neutralized' the water each time before letting it drain!

No. It’s false.

Didn’t you read what Erik posted?

Yes, and I find it amazing that is all Bs. At least now we know that such a phenomenon is not true. I will try to resurrect some Integrity in this thread by posting something legit maybe later.

Well actually it was good overall. A common myth exposed. Always good to see one explained. I learned from TST that the whole ‘ Johnny Miller shot that final US OPEN round on a softened, easier course’ was total bs too.

I’m perplexed that you know this, but not the correct form of “you’re” to use.

Let's imagine your a tour pro who's just been offered a "whole bag sponsorship deal".

Your educational background sure is interesting 😜

It still didn’t stop me from filling the sink in Sydney and testing it myself!😜

Yes, thank you for your post. I'm not going to pretend I already knew that the op was bs, especially after posting it myself . Actually, I thought it was real. Learn something every day! I promise to find a good next 'did u know'. We'll see! Thanks to Erik as well for bringing the truth to light!

Ok, my intention of this thread was to have the opportunity to talk about subjects that are somewhat of a phenomena, or situations that  many do not understand. (many subjects would fit that category for me). The sky is the limit, so to speak, as long as it is acceptable to the forum rules. My original post was somewhat science/nature themed, so I thought I would continue with that idea, and have a worthy subject. So here it is, and 'they' are devastating, the apocalyptic-like fire tornado. Below, in the link attached, is some good footage and explanation of these destructive forces of nature:

I didn't know that, but now that you mention it it does make sense!

I think that most everybody knows that dimples aid in the flight of a golf ball, but do they realize the science behind it? The video attached gets a bit in depth of this science. Did you know:
