If the “Damn, Daniel” meme taught us anything, it’s that 2016 is the year of things that have no business going viral, going viral. The most recent example is Senior Talent Show Water Bottle Flip, in which Michael Senatore, a senior at Ardrey Kell High School in North Carolina, flips a third-full water bottle through the air to achieve a perfect, upright landing on the table in front of him.
The crowd goes wild for Senatore, who remains stoic amidst the uproar, and millions have since watched the feat on YouTube, because, as one commenter marvels, “Never before have I beheld such beauty, such… such majesty!”
Don’t get us wrong, Senatore is the hero the internet deserves, with the dexterity of a magician and the steely-eyed determination of an Olympian, but come on, it’s just a dude flipping a water bottle, we can all stop throwing our proverbial bras at him now.
The good news is, regardless of whether your response to those wildly popular 30 seconds was, “I have seen God, and his name is That Water Bottle Kid,” or “Wait, that’s it?”, you’ve still got some awesome physics ahead of you, so let’s give it up for science, which has one again come to save the day.
