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@lemmy.world 111 points 1 month ago

Typical Susan. Too lazy to even get proper recognition.

[-] CustardFist@feddit.nl 9 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 41 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 28 points 4 weeks ago

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.

[-] notabot@lemm.ee 44 points 4 weeks 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.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 25 points 4 weeks ago

We can be the change.

Embrace alliteration.

From now on, it's the Smart Susan.

Super Smart Susan's Stupendous Serving System™

I think I over-did it

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

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.

[-] Baguette@lemm.ee 15 points 4 weeks ago

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

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks 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.

It's twue! It's twue!
