Guys, something called the #broomchallenge is trending on Twitter.
The challenge stemmed from someone in the Twitterverse spreading a false rumor that NASA said the Earth is on a perfect tilt right now and brooms will stand upright on their own.
Today- According to NASA the Earth is on its axis to where a broom will stand on its own. #broomchallenge
So, people tried it and they were SHOOOOOOOK after it worked.
And, although it might look ~magic~, it’s not. Basic physics tells us that brooms can stand upright — anytime — as long as they’re positioned just right.
It really has nothing to do with the Earth being at a ~perfect tilt~ right now.
Either way, people are enjoying their new party trick.
And some people are getting very creative.
There are also others who just don’t understand the challenge.
😂
So, yes, this really works. But no, NASA never said it would only happen during this particular moment.
NASA was actually right with this broom challenge, this thing hasn’t moved yet. 🤯🤯🤯 #broomchallenge
In the meantime, I’ll just be over here waiting for the day when my broom can SWEEP on its own.
