Probably similar effect to this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_dQJBBklpQQ

There are longer, more informative videos if you’re into it, just look up “mould effect”.

Not sure how great an analogue that is. But can we all take a moment to appreciate how much Steve mould deserved to have an effect named after him

We need to make the Mehdi’s constant a thing too. If you don’t know what i’m talking about go check ‘’Electroboom’’ channel on youtube

I know electroboom but I cant find any videos about medhis constant. Is it an inside joke or something?

u/yeet_fetus_deletus 26d ago

Who’s right though??

Personally I buy Electroboom’s explanation more but one of th is definitely right and I need to know who.

u/Forgod-Passwort 26d ago

They can and are likely both correct. i believe the electroboom explanation contributes more to the effect than the leverage theory but the leverage example on the table is very convincing too but its more likely that the leverage effect is just an added factor and not the biggest factor for the effect.

and she pulled those anal-beads out as if she was starting a lawnmower

--- Actual joke by some comedian I saw decades ago, and this video resurrected that memory from where I didn't even fathom it still existed.

There's a whole online debate behind how the mould effect actually works.

Mould himself was challenged by electroboom.

It's kind of interesting actually.

And electro is 100% correct. The other guy’s explanation is just hilarious, I can’t believe that he and so many really think their reasoning is correct.
