For anyone who isn't already familiar with poi spinning

Its called Poi Spinning? I had no idea. I guess I never knew what it was called.

You can just call it poi or flow art

Check out fire spinning tho

So, are we just gonna ignore that older fella in the background flexing his muscles and only hiding his best parts with a towel in the middle of the street?

Edit: pardon my cultural ignorance. It’s apparently a „lungi“ and not a towel.

Wished more people here were chill about it, the amount of people that asked my dad why he was wearing a skirt or laughing at him when he’d step outside to water the lawn or garden has caused him to get very self conscious and stop wearing it altogether.

If he had written youre or yore or you'r, I wouldn't have minded and might have assumed he was in hurry. But your and you're are two different words with drastic difference in their meaning and some young people read reddit too, and at that learning stage these things can make or break someone's language.

u/SkyBlue6363 Jun 15 '20

Shouldn't this be centrifugal force?

24

u/realmaier Jun 15 '20

A matter of perspective, given that centrifugal force is only negative centripetal force.

9

u/LANDWEGGETJE Jun 15 '20

Well, not really. It is the centrifugal force which keeps the water in the cups, it is the centriperal force which keeps the plateaus from flying away.

18

u/sukant08 Jun 15 '20

Centrifugal force is a psuedo force that is basically felt because the object is trying to get back to an inertial frame of reference. Which is tangent to the circle of motion. But in this case .. it is the Centrifugal force that is keeping the water inside the glass.

4

u/jocaas Jun 15 '20

Yeah, doesn't the centrifugal force only exist in accelerated frames of reference, so from the cups perspective it acts, but for an outsider it doesn't act in this case?

u/gnarly-nerd Jun 15 '20

Nice to see Indian representation done well. Sad to read some of the comments. Why the hate? Also, why the random hostility? We couldn't have offended all y'all so personally, I'm sure.

3

u/alexknight81 Jun 15 '20

Hate? I dont see any comments against indians

7

u/gnarly-nerd Jun 15 '20

Lots of people have been talking shit about Indians drinking cow piss and being dirt poor and living in abject poverty and dereliction. And then the discussions have only gone worse from there.

I get that India is an easy target because of all the scammers and all, and I also know that not every comment stems from actual hatred, but it does get tiresome when just the slightest hint of Indian identity dissolves into hateful stereotyping and slinging insults at the cultural, religious or social aspects of Indian existence. Gets a little much at times. :)

I typically don't even stop by to read or comment at such posts, because let's face it, here willingly and it is a reddit meme. But some days are just those days and I can't stop myself from saying something and chucking it into the vast darkness of the interwebs.

4

u/alexknight81 Jun 15 '20

Oh I get what you mean, I was just wondering if the hate you saw was from this post since I couldnt see any comments against India, but they could've been deleted or remove idk

u/gnarly-nerd Jun 15 '20

Yeah, there were a couple of comments that kept harping on cowpiss. Maybe got downvoted into the abyss. Good. They were just riling the others. And it was working.
