Having Trouble Opening A Soda Bottle?
Hold It Upside-Down Whilst You Open It.
This Will Force All The Gases Away From The Neck Of The Bottle And Make It Much Easier To Open!

@dgar

That is a prank post, right? To trick people into getting their coke spilled all over?

The pressure on the cap will be practically the same, upright or upside down; and anyway it makes no measurable difference to the force needed to open the cap.

This shows why everybody should learn basic physics, chemistry, biology etc as early as possible in school.

Not so much a prank, as something I’d expect most people to consider so stupid, that it might be funny. I seriously doubt anyone, at least anyone on Mastodon, would actually believe what I’ve written here, let alone actually try it.

Twitter on the other hand…

@dgar

I bet MANY people will believe it, even here on Mastodon.

The population here may be more intelligent/educated, but only in a statistical, average sense. The distributions are very broad and overlapping...

@JorgeStolfi @dgar well the account is obviously a comedy.
@JorgeStolfi @dragnucs
And original music!!
Don’t forget the music!!
That’s the important bit!
☝️😁🤘

@dragnucs @dgar

Oh well, I did not see that...

@JorgeStolfi @dgar I always believe everything that @dgar says. Also, I've cooked all his recipes and not only endorse but warmly recommend them, especially the sardines in chocolate sauce.

And that was the last we heard from ol’ GJ.
@dgar @JorgeStolfi We're sorry, there is nobody living at this address.

@JorgeStolfi @dgar it can be hard to see for some.

If you're having trouble, repeat the steps but hold the bottle over your head

@JorgeStolfi @dgar I would have thought an innate sense of how gravity works would be enough? As in: containers with the open part pointing downwards do not contain? No physics required…
@JorgeStolfi @fishidwardrobe
I’m starting to think I should add: “Please share your results here!”

@fishidwardrobe @dgar

People could think it is a real hack to get the cap unstuck. "Turn bottle upside down, twist on the cap until it starts to turn, turn the bottle upright, open." But of course...

@JorgeStolfi @dgar People could think any number of things, but that's not what the post says?

@fishidwardrobe @dgar

Okay, okay, it was a joke and I just did not see that... 😳
