Literally already documented and people are still asking.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Cat-Toast Generator

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

I love that video so much, lol

Yeah this is as old as dialup at least.

Why don't you just butter both sides of the bread? Cats are fickle

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Sadly, the design is unfeasible as eventually the rotational force either separates the bread from the butter, or liquidises the internal organs of the cat when they reach peak generating speed.

The rapid disassembly of the mechanism can cause quite an amount of damage as well.

It's ight they got nine lives.

Perhaps we can limit the speed by increasing the strength of the generator... but of course that introduces the risk of ripping the cat apart from raw force

That’s an engine sir.

The legend has is, it's how the nyancat was born.

Cat and bread attached to generator: not falling.

Not falling: not flipping.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

yeah, for this idea to work you'd have to put a magnetic rod between the bread and the cat, and put the whole package inside a copper coil

apologies your logic is not convoluted enough to reach its natural conclusion

attaching the cat-bread to a generator would prevent it from falling, so it would stop rotating (no further need)
It would just be a motionless (apart from whatever the cat's doing, assuming it's still alive) and it wouldn't work
sorry!

best regards

@[email protected] already provided a solution: by strapping magnets to the cat, the cat becomes the generator and never has to touch anything

How do you attach cat to the generator? I see something sussy 0-0

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

Are you 12 years old? I hope so for your own sake.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Right? It clearly goes into the cat’s rectum for stability.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They clearly haven't played postal 2

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

I don't know what Portal 2 has to do with it, but now you've got me thinking about the cat in the teleporter in Half Life 2

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Postal 2 not portal. You can stick your shotgun in a cat's anus and use it as a suppressor in postal 2.

Ooh! My bad, I completely read it wrong, lol

now i doubt my physics, thanks!
