Buttered toast mostly lands butter side down when dropped, generally speaking that is.
I thought that was important information to pass along.
I think it has something to do with the aerodynamics of the filled pores of the bread with a substance that has less wind resistance. I think you can notice this in the wind tunnel experiments. hahaha just teasing.

Personally I think it lands butter side down because that's the side that gets ruined.

This excerpt is probably the best evidence for the phenomenon..
Toast that falls off a table doesn't have enough time to spin more than 180 degrees, so it lands butter side down more frequently (67 percent of the time with real butter and 57 percent of the time with the letter B put on the toast with marker).
It takes an 8 foot drop to get to roughly 50-50 results for which side it lands.
And yeah... a 10,000 data point study on whether or not toast falls butter side down.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to make this thread.
Generalizations can sometimes hold people back from learning something new with fresh eyes, because they have already decided something about a certain group. It can stunt wisdom and growth, and make you stubborn instead. After all, if you believe you already know everything about everything, what else is there to learn?
Also to state the obvious, generalizations can hurt. It's makes the people doing the generalizing feel powerful and smart and experienced.... until the tables turn, and someone does it to them.
I occasionally fall into the habit of clumping groups of people together myself (since I'm not perfect lol). But I make a conscious effort not to say them out loud if I think it could discourage somebody else. I try to keep an open mind.

How have you guys been? I haven't seen you around in ages!
Oh, and I usually think to mention when my threads aren't about a particular person. I thought later that some people might think I was talking about Hal51's thread about jealousy, but I wasn't. (I didn't even read that thread.) It was just a subject that had been on my mind lately because sometimes it seems like people don't think about how unfair and, frankly, rude it is to say that all women manipulative or all men are creeps or whatever. And that be all I gots to say.

I thought it was a good thread popclick. I enjoyed it. I had to chuckle a little when I saw the huge image of the upside down cow on that slice of toast on the other page and then had to just add a little fuel to that fire, so to speak.
Doing alright. I've been on. I just don't post much. Thanks for remembering me. I hope you are well.
