Well now I have to look up why it’s called a lazy Susan in the first place

The Wikipedia article can’t pinpoint the origin of the name, says that it’s likely lost to history

[–] dohpaz42 111 points 1 month ago

Typical Susan. Too lazy to even get proper recognition.

Ohw fiddlesticks. I would’ve loved learning the origin story. 🙄

I love how people put E=mc^2 everywhere

Like, why does Susan need that for a roating table? Unless the table is running on plutonium of course

It's built to withstand rotations at relativistic speeds. Engineering around the Ehrenfest paradox is no mean feat!

It's right next to 1+2=3 though so they's something for readers of all ability!

if you turn it fast enough you can go back in time.

Side quest, jotted notes for another project later.

Careful how quickly you spin them.

Maybe don't ask how I know.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 month ago

Spin it fast enough and everyone gets a serving of something. It's the ultimate potluck meal serving system.

We all know cus we all done it.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

We can be the change.

Embrace alliteration.

From now on, it's the Smart Susan.

I think I over-did it

Sedentary Susan.

The original design had voice recognition and shot out a blade to cut the person who said the phrase 'Lazy Susan'

The flamethrower mode is activated when you say that

Laziness is the mother of invention.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

I like lazy susans. It's a good invention, I love spinning it in chinese restaurants

[–] MehBlah 14 points 1 month ago

That was the moment Susan knew she wanted to kill someone.

true fact: the Lazy Susan was invented by Hedy Lamarr after she invented the Internet, but Susan Hayward took credit for it.
