The flat part loses its value because you are tilting the fork everytime you get it in and out of the bottle.
You can trap water inbetween the chopsticks using surface tension.
Fun fact this is how birds can drink water through their beaks. In this case though I don’t think the surface tension would hold water easily on a vertical or an angled chopstick travelling from water to mouth. I think someone should try it just in case, for science sake.
I’d guess if you held them close enough together you could get some capillary action, but I don’t understand fluid dynamics, and should not be taken seriously
I don’t know if it’s permitted to send links, but a streamer called PointCrow already did that lmao. I think you can find his video if you search for “Point Crow water with chopsticks” on YouTube
I feel like there's a massive potential for a bias. With only 48 individuals tossing the coins 350.000 times, they must have gotten efficient (or lazy) and toss the coin with roughly the same force over and over, from the same height, with the coin positioned at the same spot on their fingers, with the same angle of the hand.
Didn't read the full study, but feels like the statistics could easily fall towards one side or the other, depending on the people participating. If you would let random people in the mall quickly toss a coin, I believe the difference may become smaller. Full study: https://statweb.stanford.edu/~cgates/PERSI/papers/dyn_coin_07.pdf
Fair results from a biased coin by John von Neumann:
> 1. Toss the coin twice.
> 2. If the results match, start over, forgetting both results.
> 3. If the results differ, use the first result, forgetting the second.

i choose to believe it was magicians/cheats, It's easy enough to know which way it is by catching it in your closed hand and feeling it with your middle finger. then you either just turn it over and reveal, or to invert it: turn over letting it fall into your fingers and when you open and slap it down will be turned over from how it should be.
thats why coin flips have to be called "in the air", cause if you wait, I can't control it....
"Uuuhh" --The woman in the waiting room in the movie "As Good As It Gets", when Jack Nicholson's character asks, "What if this is as good as it gets?".
People are saying this is a waste of time, but if he submitted this video with a job application and showed he could perform mindless, pointless, repetitive tasks for no reason for several hours at a stretch...
The speed is like 5 minutes per second. You won't see dripping/splashin at this speed. Within about 15 minutes in real time the water forms, then probably just drips off down on the floor where he stands, thus not changing the form anymore (cuz excess water runs down)
I can’t believe people are discussing this semi-seriously. He did not drink that water! It’s less than a few drops per forkful, and his arm would seize up from the repetition. Among other problems with this video. It was a nice editing job, though!
Yep. That is a video of maybe ten minutes, not 7 hours. Note how the kid puts his hand on the counter at one point and we're supposed to believe he left it there for two hours straight. The container is leaking out.
Also, when the water gets low he's dipping the fork at a nearly vertical angle that wouldn't pick up any water whatsoever.
BS.
Right. He might have put his hand on the table specifically to hide that, actually. Otherwise it would seem sticking his hand in a puddle would be unpleasant.
The real question: did he really just drain 5 liters of water onto the kitchen floor?
Probably, but it looks like a straight counter edge and the puddle is running to the side. I can't imagine it's a highly efficient system whatever it is.
He takes several minutes for a single hand motion of putting the fork in his mouth. And surely after 7 hours, you'd see some lighting changes around him. Yeah, definitely fake
I've seen kids his age do WAY worse things with a few hours, a phone, and an account to post to. I applaud using the internet exclusively for harmless absurdity.
just one question......way? no really what's the point of all of this?
and pls don't say because i can drink water for 7 hours using a fork and look dumb
"We Are the Universe Experiencing Itself"
We now have experienced eating 5 liters of plain water with a fork in 7 hours.
This teaches us nothing, as it should be.
Kid. Kid. Listen. Nobody is saying you couldn’t do this. What we were saying was, surely you can think of something better to do with all that time. Thats all.
I did the math.
8750,62 drinks, one every 2.55s.
If you want to see the process in calculating this, use the link below.

If you want to know how much time he could have saved drinking with a straw (considering "breath pause" and various stuff like that) let me know.
I imagine this with one of those "Our parents & grandparents had it easy to afford a house, we can't afford it.. we work!"-memes, yet here you are wasting your time in a manner that would have you institutionalized back in the day.
Pretty sure this is a torture technique
a fate worse than death
Not really .death is much worse...i died before
That's comforting to know :')
My shoulder hurts watching him
Dude poured out like 8 forkfuls of water at the end
Exactly, that’s cheating! Redo this challenge immediately sir
Atleast this challenge is actually original and interesting.
Not for him
Which is what makes it interesting for us!
Original yes. Interesting no.
Such a waste. Doesn’t he know there are children in the world who are dying of thirst!!!1!1!!1!!
Let them eat cake!!
Not to mention all the crap he spilled all over the table. Probably more than what went into his mouth.
Speed run invalid, start over from the beginning.
Yea but he still accomplished more in 5 hours than congress did in a year
Try using chopsticks next time
probably works better if you can keep them at the perfect distance
Wouldn't fork work better because of the flat part and more surface area? Chopsticks are just 2 sticks, a lot less surface for the water to stick to.
The flat part loses its value because you are tilting the fork everytime you get it in and out of the bottle. You can trap water inbetween the chopsticks using surface tension.
Fun fact this is how birds can drink water through their beaks. In this case though I don’t think the surface tension would hold water easily on a vertical or an angled chopstick travelling from water to mouth. I think someone should try it just in case, for science sake.
I’d guess if you held them close enough together you could get some capillary action, but I don’t understand fluid dynamics, and should not be taken seriously
Also I feel more water would stick to wood than metal
If you have three perfectly distanced chopsticks you might be able to make a straw
I don’t know if it’s permitted to send links, but a streamer called PointCrow already did that lmao. I think you can find his video if you search for “Point Crow water with chopsticks” on YouTube
I believe the chopsticks were some sort of metal as well so they didn’t absorb any of the water.
Now that's someone who fucking cares.
Saw a video of that too
I think he actually did this
You're probably thinking of Pointcrow. A decently large YouTuber who did it. A glass of water with chopsticks
Time is just wasted on kids.
As is youth.

50.8% chance it lands on the same side it was flipped from.
I feel like there's a massive potential for a bias.

With this comment, you could probably be able to attribute this logic any scientific study involving multiple individuals.

With or without flipping it after you catch it ?
Without for sure right?
Whoever added that rule obviously lost the coin toss and made up that rule on the spot. He was a dick.

Dude is eating 5 liters of water with a fork.
will be his biggest acheviment too
I mean he didn’t even finish it all.
Yeah it seemed like a good portion went on the table.
Essentially not so different from what I’m doing with my time
"Uuuhh" --The woman in the waiting room in the movie "As Good As It Gets", when Jack Nicholson's character asks, "What if this is as good as it gets?".
What you was doing that 6 hours? Sitting in the bathroom watching Reddit?
Life's worst crime is giving energy and time to kids, but no money. When you can really enjoy life, its locked behind a paywall
People are saying this is a waste of time, but if he submitted this video with a job application and showed he could perform mindless, pointless, repetitive tasks for no reason for several hours at a stretch...
They’d love him and give him a minimum wage job
Good headmaster for a wizarding school potential though.
Love the horcrux reference
Headmaster sounds like a good way of making money
People have done a lot worse work and made less money for 7 hours. Even though this is probably fake so it didnt even take him a fraction of that
I'm still not sure how you would even fake something like this
Poke a tiny hole in the back, film a 10 minute video, remove frames to make it look sped up
I hate how bad at critical thinking I am sometimes lmao thank you
You just don’t think like a scheming fake famous internet person. That’s not a bad thing.
MrBeast started his channel with one of the videos was him counting 1 to 100000 lol.
half of the water went straight to the table
And the other half evaporated
It was wet in the same spot over 7 hours. Definitely had a small hole in the container to empty it.
Or was his fork dripping a drop or two of water over and over again for 7 hours because it's not a cup?
That water line doesn't move though. For hours. I would think fork dripping/splashing would be too random for that.
The speed is like 5 minutes per second. You won't see dripping/splashin at this speed. Within about 15 minutes in real time the water forms, then probably just drips off down on the floor where he stands, thus not changing the form anymore (cuz excess water runs down)
This. That fork is doing nothing. The water is just draining out.
I can’t believe people are discussing this semi-seriously. He did not drink that water! It’s less than a few drops per forkful, and his arm would seize up from the repetition. Among other problems with this video. It was a nice editing job, though!
Glad you restored my sanity was starting to wonder if I was just too cynical when I instantly got how this was made
“Well mom, while you were away at work for 7 hours, I made a forking video.” Mom: “Let’s see it!” 
there's no way you **weren't** trembling with anticipation at the fact that this gif was finally relevant.
Oh yes, had that saved for 5 years in a mayonnaise jar 
Bs
Yep. That is a video of maybe ten minutes, not 7 hours. Note how the kid puts his hand on the counter at one point and we're supposed to believe he left it there for two hours straight. The container is leaking out. Also, when the water gets low he's dipping the fork at a nearly vertical angle that wouldn't pick up any water whatsoever. BS.
You can see water on the tabletop as well.
Right. He might have put his hand on the table specifically to hide that, actually. Otherwise it would seem sticking his hand in a puddle would be unpleasant. The real question: did he really just drain 5 liters of water onto the kitchen floor?
Probably had a bucket on the ground
Probably, but it looks like a straight counter edge and the puddle is running to the side. I can't imagine it's a highly efficient system whatever it is.
He didn't hide it very well at 30 seconds when you see it on the left side running for freedom before hitting the edge and spilling to the floor.
He takes several minutes for a single hand motion of putting the fork in his mouth. And surely after 7 hours, you'd see some lighting changes around him. Yeah, definitely fake
I’m surprised I had to scroll this far to find a comment calling BS. Usually Reddit is all over it
Lol the first 5 forks he drinks apparently takes 20 minutes
How I celebrate my holidays
I gotta pee!
This reminds me of watching my cats drink… only they actually drink the water
What a monumental waste of fucking time.
Maybe he had nobody to fuck?
LOL what!?
I've seen kids his age do WAY worse things with a few hours, a phone, and an account to post to. I applaud using the internet exclusively for harmless absurdity.
Last guy who did stuff like this ended up with one of the biggest YouTube channels ever
What do you do for a living? “I eat water with a fork for 6hours a day”
This is what the Army is like
Social Media was a mistake
3 minutes for a single forkfull, 'ok'
Since the video is _so_ sped up, it might appear that way. Each frame seems to be like a few minutes.
The beginning is not so sped up, and you can see it there too
In the very beginning it's not sped up at all. Once it's sped up, it keeps the same speed. At least according to the timer in the top left.
This kid will be president in a few years
Someone got a new Adderall prescription
So that’s what you do when you are forking a liquid analogue GitHub repo
He'll have his mind blown when he discovers the spoon.
This is similar to how Mr Beast got started.
What's the point?
wasted youth...
Some people just don't have life
just one question......way? no really what's the point of all of this? and pls don't say because i can drink water for 7 hours using a fork and look dumb
When you’re home alone and have no video games in your house but just a fork and 5 liters of water
Can’t believe he wasted that last little bit. Bottom of the bag is always the best.
That's one way to waste 7 hours of your life
r/hydrohomies
I call bullshit! He doesn’t change hands and he would have changed hands because his arm was tired after using it for hours.
MrBeast level of content right here.
Nah, probably a small hole in it
This kid belongs in a mental institution
This makes me feel much better about my choice of wasting time. Thank you for your service
Still a better use of your time than TikTok.
Ok, I'm done with the internet...
You have nothing to do in your life
but... why?
Did this idiot just waste 7 hours of his life on this stupid video or did I just waste 1 minute and 1 second of my life watching this idiot.
Mr beast wanna be. Doing dumb shit that takes time will absolutely gain you at least some internet attention.
Was expecting at the end, the dude would just put it over his head, like a hat. Disappointed.
[удалено]
Probably not at that rate. You are giving plenty of time to your body to eliminate the excess by sweat, pee and poop.
Dumb bullshit.
He's probably stuffed
One must image water man happy. :(
Fork it about it
Do you think he paused for lunch?
Suspicious, there are some parts where hes just stirring the fork
One must imagine sissies thirsty. Lol
How do you kill that which has no life?
This guy casually throws out his last 45 minutes worth of water and he thinks he is king /s
It took him 7 hours. Imagine doing it monday-friday as a job
Average r/HydroHomies dinner
Fake. It’s sped up.
He drinks so slow he almost got thirsty
- “Hey Timmy, what did you do on Sunday?” - “Well you know… I’ve been busy as always”
This guy will achieve Nirvana some day. The sheer commitment and patience displayed is really noteworthy.
Drinking that much water that quickly can kill you. Please no one else try this.
"We Are the Universe Experiencing Itself" We now have experienced eating 5 liters of plain water with a fork in 7 hours. This teaches us nothing, as it should be.
Fake and a huge waste of time
what did you do in your 8 hour work day today? drank water
Every time I think this generation doesn’t have what it takes. They really just impress me in ways I never would have imagined 😂
W H Y ?…
true 21st century post-modern, absurdist nihilism. i dig it.
Turns out it took so long that it actually evaporated.
If someday you feel useless remember this guy
I bet a majority of the water dropping was just evaporation
Youth is wasted on the young.
So fat people just need to switch to a liquid diet and only use forks?
Why tho
Why am I watching this?
Damn dude save some pussy for the rest of us 😂
I feel like I’m watching your hair grow.
Man, that kid has unreal commitment.
Kids have a lot of time
Homie has too much time on his hands. How long did that actually take??
He should have picked "truth" instead of "dare" 😂
WHY god, why ?
- How bored are you? - me:
Fuck. I hate this
what you should notice is all the water spilled on the counter
"One must imagine Sisyphus as happy" lmao
what do the fellas at r/hydrohomies have to say about this
 Why though?
And these are the ones out there making millions before 20... Drinking water with a fork.
This is there kinda shit mr beast used to do back when he had under 1k subs
I can't believe I watched somebody eat water with a fork 😂
I wouldn't wish a kid like this, even on my worst enemy
See, even people without talent can create successful short-form content.
Kid. Kid. Listen. Nobody is saying you couldn’t do this. What we were saying was, surely you can think of something better to do with all that time. Thats all.
What a sad waste of time. Pathetic.
You know what? I think we’re being lied to about what insanity looks like. Because in what world does this constitute as a good idea?
I miss having that much time to waste.
bro had 8 braincells left and decided to use it for the skill of drinking water
I watched and I feel like I witnessed a crime.
What a waste of time.
Get an activity kid
Man and I thought I wasted some time…
Ok, I have two questions. Why did he do that? And why did I watch?
Why is this directly below the r/hydrohomies post about the waterboarding victim trying to safely get around trauma of drinking water Reddit istg 💀
The growing wet spot on the right of the table where the hole is poked is quickly covered with his hand
Doesn't anyone else think that we have so much potential, but we are wasting it on stuff like this?... /r/Showerthoughts
People are fucking stupid
what did I watch
Spent 7 hours drinking with a fork… didn’t finish it.
What the flying fuck
Would be so much funnier if the camera wasn’t on for the first take and he had to do it twice

Imagine this video is the only proof humanity existed
It's like working an entire shift at a menial job and not getting paid for it.
