You broke the dam river!
RetroBlast
Whew...glad he did that. I hate when someone forgets to inflate their waterfall!
StarfallSnow
You're a monster.
MisuseOfLiterally
now put it back how it was before
Zeboku
Like placing a block under running water in minecraft
Jackrackham86
Thanks for turning the waterfall back on. Good job ?

You broke it ..

Fix it!!

Ahh yes, the "waterfall on/off stick"
Vikingtransgirl
The nice thing is if you fall in it's gonna kill you so hard, weirs are surprisingly dangerous

I mostly appreciate the Kung Pow username... One of my favourite dumb movies.

How can the speed of flowing water allow an interaction like this to effect, affect? the entire flow?
MalePerson
Now you've turned on the drowning machine

The whole concept of Ice 9 right there

Now put it back

Great. Now put it back.

Congrats you have discovered SURFACE TENSION and SKIN FRICTION. (LOL That's what she said!)

Oh look at Moses with his stick
NorthmanoftheNorth
Dude stop unlaminaring the flow

This pisses me off for some reason.

Dammit Jim, this is why we can't have nice things.

Great. Now you made a butterfly flap its wings in Japan.

Hello, smart science people? I once again am relying upon you to explain a phenomenon to me. Why does this happen?
HypnagogicHallucinations
Look up "aeration of weir nappe" and you will find plenty of engineering information..
PackedCatMeowingPowerDensity
Due to its high dipole moment. Water is also ever so slightly magnetic. In a very wrong explanation, the reason is indeed MAGNETS.
zer0vector
You ever pour from glass and it dribbles down the side? That's what's happening until the stick breaks the water tension.
ShitpostsAndLotsOfThem
Water is sticky
mikeatike
Ew
PackedCatMeowingPowerDensity
Try to rub a rubber stick, get your head out of the gutter and place it slowly near a weak stream of running water. It will bend.

Weir is actually a type of dam
mikeatike
God dam it.

Low dams like that are super fucking dangerous. They’re called drowning machines because if you fall in below the dam there’s no hope.
silversean
Rescuers are told not to attempt rescue in drowning machines. You get trapped in a vortex under water and beat with all the debris trapped
silversean
There too and you drown. Your body will stay in the vortex.
chancer888
Oh man I’d have so much anxiety about how to get it back to what it was. I done messed it up!
AceBandito
"Is less coming out now? If I leave it like this, this whole area could be flooded and destroyed in a couple of.. what, years? MINUTES!?"

Some things can't be fixed once they've been fucked with.

Just put it in reverse, Terry!
NacLac
If it occurred naturally, just wait and it will recover eventually
SMB42
Like dinosaurs?
Isorikk
That's what the boomers keep saying but it keeps getting worse
NacLac
The larger the input and change, the longer it takes to recover.
Isorikk
Water level will need to drop a bit so that the surface tension can be restored
HypnagogicHallucinations
Ober time the air will be drawn out of the nappe, and the flow will pull back in, resetting it.

Clever bastard
arrbos
Sneaky. I also use this to smooth boiling water when I make pasta. Never thought to apply it on a larger scale!
demolitionlover09
I’ve heard doing that makes the sauce not stick to your pasta, but i could be wrong.
arrbos
I personally haven't noticed much difference, but even if so, it's a tradeoff. I only use like a little drizzle in ~6L of water.

How the fuck did you go back in time?
hollerfloozy
yup, my brain is screaming "FIX IT!"
fantabuloustimewaster
Probably have to lower the level behind the dam, then start the waterfall slowly again.
SirChadwellHeath
A quick squirt of 'environmentally responsible' detergent* would probably work. (*as if such a thing existed)
chancer888
But what if I should increase the height after the dam and then lower it back again? ?
zer0vector
This is pretty much like when you try to pour from something too slowly and it runs down the side, it'll pop back when the flow is right
brownribbon

fantabuloustimewaster
Language question: when is a water-blocking structure like this a dam, and when is it a weir? A quick search doesn’t reveal an obvious rule.
terriblethunderlizards
I like how you just described turning it off and turning it back on again.

FloodingWaters
People blame it on IT, but it's literally been the first fix for everything since the beginning of time. Put simply, "Try again"
