The way liquid squirts is weird

Have you ever noticed while peeing that sometimes that a drop that gets ejected over the rim? Well, is that pee or water? It is hard to tell. As a kid I always wondered.

I think I have discovered the answer. I recently noticed a similar occurrence with coffee and creamer. In this instance I poured liquid half and half in my coffee. I noticed the creamer shooting over the rim and not coffee.

Logic would seem to require, like doing a cannonball into a pool, that your downward moving force displaces the immobile static liquid and thereby sending it upward, like a seesaw or catapult. Yet what I observed seems to contradict that, the cream not the coffee shot upward. Therefore I can only assume that that it is pee shooting out and not water as well. Can anyone verify and/or explain why this is?

a drop of liquid isn't the same as a solid mass.


sit down to pee and this won't happen. it will splash on your butt

You pour creamer in your coffee?

Why I looked this up I have no idea, but this is literally a scientific explanation complete with equations and a video and should end your attention seeking thread

Squirting is mostly piss. Fact

Maybe it is the difference in the viscosity of the two liquids. You clearly know more than I do about this and I am grateful you addressed it.

This should answer your question

Water tension is a hell of a science.

In the lab, the rule is to always add acid. When you pour acid into water to make a dilution, some liquid may splash out. When you add the acid, it may displace the water causing it to slash.

Surface tension may answer your odd ponderings

The formation of these spikes is extremely complex (LINK /...) but you can use the same argument with the Peclet number to say that the jet is itself mostly the first liquid. However, instead of saying the energy of liquid 1 is transferred to liquid 2, you can instead think of liquid 2 as behaving like a trampoline and forcing liquid 1 back up until surface tension stops it or creates a new drop.

That illustrates the point.

Now what I would also like to know is this: who is responsible for the wet spot after sex? Does this formulation apply?

I came here thinking this is going to be a thread about something else.

Oddly enough I've done the mechanics of this calculation before, except I wasn't measuring anything related to pissing

The jump that you made between surface tension and the wet spot on the sheets after sex is mind-blowing

That's a whole new science. I could illustrate that as well, but Chicken and Tiger Fred frown on such things.
