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.

The true law of thermodynamics

[–] Saeculum@hexbear.net 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.

[–] Masimatutu@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] pheeef@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] hswolf@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months 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

People who expose free energy like this end up disappearing under mysterious circumstances.

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

[–] M137@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They clearly haven't played postal 2

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 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

[–] radioactiveradio@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months 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.

[–] xthexder@l.sw0.com 2 points 11 months ago

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

[–] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Masimatutu@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

@Tarastie@lemmy.world already provided a solution: by strapping magnets to the cat, the cat becomes the generator and never has to touch anything

[–] dadaredone@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

now i doubt my physics, thanks!
