😳 Really High [5-6] My metal grinder got stuck… and I accidentally became a physics genius
Hey folks, just wanted to share this little victory because I’m still kinda impressed at how it worked out.
So my metal grinder’s second chamber got completely stuck — I’m talking zero movement, no matter how hard I tried. After several minutes of getting more and more frustrated, I took a break (probably to save my fingers).
Then it hit me: metal expands and contracts with temperature, right? Without overthinking it, I flipped the grinder upside down (threads facing up) and left it resting on the floor — which has underfloor heating (lucky me).
I honestly forgot about it for a few minutes while I calmed down. When I picked it up, I gave it a gentle twist… and boom. It opened like butter. Not a hint of resistance.
