How On Earth Does The Dirty Dish Tray Spin Around Like That? Step By Step Guide.

We all see the rotating dish trays in the PIT and SPIT, but do we really understand how they work. In this article, I hope to explain, step by step, how the process of getting that thing to turn works. I hope you leave informed and a little more ~ w o k e ~ about the topic.

1. Buy the aardvarks.

Every year, dining services has to buy aardvarks to run on the wheels under Awakening (https://www.theodysseyonline.com/stop-the-oreo-2018). The wheels have ants in front that the aarvarks think they are running toward.They supply the power, but the power to what?

2. Power the anti-gravity machines under the dining halls.

This is gonna sound weird, but see 3. for context

3. Hire the cyclists.

So basically, we hire cyclists to ride on upside-down spin cycles that are attached to belts. These belts...

4. Turn the treadmill belts.

Yes. The cyclists power the treadmills, this may seem like an unnecessary buffer, but Villanova loves to create jobs for people who are looking! On these treadmills run the chefs. This will make sense later (step 5.)

5. Fill the spray bottles with rotting fruit juice.

Every step the chefs take on the treadmill sprays a little bit of rotting fruit juice on the dish trays on the turnstile.

6. Hire people who hate flies.

As the fruit juice is sprayed, it attracts flies. SO, we have people stand behind the tray turnstiles that can't stand flies, they swat at them and in turn, turn the trays (pun intended).

See, it's not that hard to understand. I hope now, you can look at those trays spinning around and say "wow, I'm so ~ w o k e ~ about those now! Let me know what else you want explanations to, and I will definitely answer with an article explaining it

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
