It depends from whether the test subjects get to drink the results, I suspect. (-:

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that someone has actually studied this. It has certainly been reported that people have studied whether humans switch their preferred hands according to the task being performed.

That said, this is leaping to a conclusion not yet supported with good data. We still need to rule out the #CoriolisEffect.

Famously, that's going to require a bathtub-sized drinking glass, a crane-mounted spray can with vibration dampeners, and about 500 litres of coffee/chocolate.

And the same tests performed in #Australia, just to be sure.

Which of course opens up a further avenue of research into whether you would change your swirl chirality if you had to circle the cup instead of the spray can, and what you'd do with an immovable dispenser nozzle like in one of those fancy steampunk coffee machines.

I am sensing a common theme.

And also a research paper topic for some enterprising academic on why the swirls are always anti-clockwise.

Is it because you are in the Northern Hemisphere? Or because of the handedness of the person who made them? Or is this a culturally acquired behaviour?

The perfect wave is shaped by a combination of underwater topography (bathymetry) and the Coriolis effect caused by Earth's rotation.

Is Natural Gas at Risk of a Major Supply SQUEEZE?

Is Natural Gas at Risk of a Major Supply SQUEEZE? natural gas prices have just surged by 90% in less than two months it has a history of making incredible moves being one of the most volatile Commodities that exists sometimes moving up by over 600% within a single year but also being able to lose as much as 80% of its value within that same time period natural gas like other Commodities is prone to large supply and demand imbalances and these can create huge opportunities for Traders that are able to take advantage of them us natural gas
