ghost? OR magnet?

[KryptoKnight]

Ok... I havea laptop that I play computer games on(mind you, I don't have a desktop and it's not reccommended for pc game use cuz its not great) and I was playing yesterday on CS, with a sprite next to me (the can kind). Well, every once in a while, I'd take a drink and put it down. 1ce after i did that, I held down shift (to crouch) and to my amazement, the can started slowly spinning and moving torwards the side of my laptop. I tried it again, but it didn't work. Later, It happened again, but I couldn't get it to work again. What's going on?

who you gonna call?

Alluminium isnt magnetic. Pop can = magnetic

 

[KryptoKnight]

wait... so what do u think it is? I'm surprised because it was almost totally full...

 

[Jayce]

I'm assuming this... Perhaps when you put the can down, the liquid inside was flowing from one side to another. If the liquid was moving at such a rate, it would easily move the can to the side everytime it slammed against the inside of the can. Just a guess.

 

[KryptoKnight]

hmmm... that's possible. it would explain the spinning, because the liquid could be swirling. What I don't get, though, is that sometimes it happened a few seconds, or even a minute, after I put it down, and only when I pressed shift.

was it cold? was it on a flat surface?
if the answer to both those is yes, it was becase the condinsation on the botom of the can created a seal with the table, and the air under the can(in the big dented part) "lifted" it of the table just enough to make it slide. kinda like air hockey

 

[KryptoKnight]

hmmm... it was on a flat surface, but no it wasn't cold (I hate cold soda... don't know why.)

Kind of creepy, now that I think about it. I still think it's something to do with my computer cuz of shift... I'm trying to recreate the moment again now.
