I collect coins, that purple hue is called "toning" some people boil coins with eggs to get the same result. I'm not sure why they get that way, but a coin can be rainbow toned or a purple/bright blue tone.

Why is there a fidget spinner in the soap dispenser

[@JeskaDax]

@@jackghaderi377 It does look like a fidget spinner doesn't it? Awesome catch! That part has 3 small wheels where the circles of weight would be on a fidget spinner, and it squeezes and presses whatever fluid is in the flexible tube around it (which can be seen in the video too). This provides the pumping action in the direction associated with the direction the "spinner" is spinning and is why the soap is dispensed in spurts instead of just pouring out.

What Nate said is correct: in Australia we got rid of our 1c and 2c coins. You could trade them in for their value in larger increments when they were first decommissioned. My grandmother and her friends however use them in friendly card games (mostly solo) where a win gets you 5c and every trick you win above that is an additional 1c.

[@PaigeandSmee]

[@crisbissell3839]

That dude opens a roll of pennies like someone who has never worked a service industry job.

[@Menemnon]

The way to use those rotary tumblers is to use stainless steel shot (about a 1000g), jeweler suppliers sell those. Get some with different shapes so they reach all the crevices. Put the shot in the tumbler and put water in there till it rises to just above the level of the steel shot, then some polishing liquid (preferred) or dish soap. Gets me mirror shine results every time after just a few hours of tumbling on things like copper and silver.

[@mog-gyveroneill2500]

You should try and make butter in the tumbler.. 😂

[@travisholverson2577]

Jordan Brige, they're definitely not interested in following the instructions.

[@jordanbrige8848]

Nick Vetter you do it to reduce friction a little bit which makes it sort of a finer grit like wet sanding and it also reduces the heat. I’m sure you can do it without but there glass would have turned out a lot better
