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

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

The cup is filled to the same level when she sticks her finger in, as it was at the start of the video. Also, the water gets refilled throughout the video.

There are clubs in Los Angeles where children's dirty bathwater cocktails sell for $50.00 a glass.

Well, exactly the problem. It's not just any hands, but child hands.
When I dig through my memory, my hands could've often been classified as biohazard. Genuinely.

We had a separate toilet room with no sink. I've used to spend a lot of time closed there. I've also played with wet toilet paper, modeling it into shapes.
Remember, no sink. So, how did I get it wet? Yeah, just like that. And I didn't necessarily flush before.
Sometimes I even used turds wrapped in a layer of toilet paper. It was warm and squishy.

Yeh, it's clear there is a suitably similar amount of water in the glass each time, even when there is water in the dish below

Step 1: put the plate on the glass as a lid

Step 2: hold the two together firmly, quickly turn them upside down

Step 3: trivial, the next person can easily figure it out from here.

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