I went into the Video like: wait what? And then: oh yeah, that makes sence

"Walk without rhythm and you wont disturb the worm" -Terraria dunetreader boots

A fun story related to this is when building the shinkansen the japanese engineers had issues with getting the train faster because their overhead wires started to oscillate damaging themselfs and the train. At the same time the french TGV was faster the shinkansen so the engineers went over to france to find out what they did differently. Turns out the french werent too precise when putting down the posts for the cables and had some odd meter differences between them while the japanese worked to centi and millimetre tollerances. Due to this the resonance frequency of the wires on the french side was not constant and the train could go faster

"Sir did you irish that coffee you walking funny"

You can also just not fill it to the brim... the dune equivalent would be to not go anywhere near that planet. [Thank y'all for this multi-thousand Like morale boosts from this very incidental throw-away comment, and thank you the many funny and thought-provoking replies.]

Doesn't for weapon of choice. "If you walk without rythm, you won't, spill, your cofee."

Now i cant stop imagining going to a cafe and the barista does the sandwalk every time they go hand out a coffee

I remember Cambridge did a whole study on this, basically was a normal walk over 6 paces it starts to slosh 😂

There's a story where constant simultaneous footsteps from an army marching over a bridge destroyed the bridge which works kinda like this

You can also do a “ghost walk” which reduces all jostling because the steps are so fluid it doesn’t spill the coffee.

He's very right, I've been walking without rhythm for days now and I haven't attracted a single sandworm.

You don't know how beneficial this information to a waiter

Mocad'Dib, Coffeatz Haderach, he who takes the coffee

you can point the coffee slightly in the direction of where you're going. slightly! the faster you go the more tilted you make it. its like that swivel tray thing

My favorite part of that movie was when they told them not to walk with a rhythm and their special sand walk has a very distinct rhythm.

If you claw grip the cup from above (if the cup's not too hot) and let your wrist sway slightly, the sway will cancel out with the waves and often never spill a drop even while walking and turning fast

I discovered this effect as a child without knowing about any physics... Really cool

When you realize your arm doesn't have to move the same way as your body when walking: Now my arm just has a Gyroscope..

Gonna start crip walking when I’m holding a coffee

I like this being a sort of training for avoiding fantasy/sci-fi creatures. like how they had princesses balance books on their head to keep a straight posture, people in another world would try not to spill something while walking to keep from waking beasts

Never rly thought about how to avoid mechanical resonance with my coffee before but thats rly smart

Really interesting take on connecting Dune and a cup of coffee 😅 and above all, it makes sense 😂

This is also why British soldiers "break step" over bridges. In 1831, a bridge collapsed under them, partially because their footsteps matched the resonant frequency of the bridge.

Me walking out of the office pantry with a coffee while everyone is looking at me

Or walk normaly and rock your hand back and forth at a 1/3 pace to every fifth step. It’s the same level of harmony practice by middle school bands.

A bottle with a screw on cap is also a good container for longer runs

That sandwalk is a cool little detail that made the movie super interesting, as well as many other things

If I did this walk to not spill my coffee at work, id be getting a "random" drug test that same day.

Bro found out how to walk with his knees bent, wow

In physics we call this constructive interference, if you keep adding more energy to the coffee, (via stepping and shaking the cup) then it will resemble an ocean wave until it critically reaches the cup height.

I noticed this while changing this silly water chamber in my family's vaccuum, im so happy to have a full explanation!

Sandworm: Just leave the coffee and you're good to go

So that’s why I don’t spill my beer when I’m stumbling drunk

Or maybe just hold your arm out away from your body. Natural gyroscopic and you dont gotta walk funny

Instructions unclear, my top half keeps my drink stable when walking

To do list for my next vacation in the dune: Make coffee

It’s cap the reason your coffee spilled is cuz you walked fast and didn’t steady your arms to your wrist the first time around and then slowed down by like 40-50% when you did the sand walk to make it seem like it’s better when you could’ve walked that pace going straight and had the same result

the sandworm shuffle

Now I can’t stop imagining they walking with a cup of coffee to check if they’re attracting the worm

It's so cool how this absurd opening just makes sense in a matter of seconds

Wait, so you telling me, to not spill my coffee, I must make peace with Caffa-i-Khaliq.

Imagine seeing people walk around like this with a coffee 😂

Me runs with my coffee while tilting the cup

This has the same energy as using a cup of water to learn how to drift a car

Shoutout to dune for inventing physics

I realized this when I started to drink coffee as a teenager.

sandworms : ok now we know those are humans too

I never thought seeing someone else spill coffee that isn't mine and I wasn't even gonna drink, would make me so livid. But here we are. And livid is what I am now.

As a caffeine addict, I shall heed your advice next time I'm running an errand with coffee in my hand

I figured this out intuitively long before I saw this video. Its very interesting how we can utilize things that we have figured out through trial and error without knowing the underlying reasons as to why something works.

Instruction unclear…. Summoned giant sand worm at the office

new fear unlocked, spilled coffee leads to death ☠️

"Say, what's wrong with Joe? He's been limping so strangely lately but he says his legs are fine..."

Always gonna do sand walk when getting coffee for my entire life from now on

So that’s how I never spill a drink when absolutely BLASTED

Note to self if I randomly teleport to the dune universe hold a cup of coffee

I've never seen Dune, but I am now convinced from this short and my coffee addiction that I could easily walk across that desert... probably

My beverage. My coffee. My beans.

How to survive dunes: hold a coffee

Me dying 348 times trying to put the filled ice tray back in the freezer

Best gear to bring while you travel the desert: 1. Coffee.

"That's why I drink coffee while walking on the desert" ah explanation😂

Information I didn’t want but we all needed

"that's cool story bro, but you gonna pay that coffee"

Me : **spills coffee** Also me : "It's a dune reference, u wouldn't get it"

"Why are you walking like Jack Sparrow?" "Shh, you'll spill my coffee"

Great, thanks for the idea. My intern is gonna have a busy day of practice tomorrow

As a platter boy at a local coffee shop imma try this

I never realised I had been sand walking my whole life

*Me who took marching band never having to worry about this*

That’s a real fun way of explaining it

Making my tea is a dune reference

Walking up stairs with a cup of coffee is a good way to find out what hating being alive feels like if someone doesn’t already

My coworkers just watch me walk funny

You will attract weird looks but thats a fair trade for more coffee

You can also place a barrier in the middle of the cup that touches the bottom which will result in phase cancellation, then you can just walk normally.

i like to imagine that this is exactly how Herbert came up with the sandwalk. "hey, if i pace my walk weirdly, my coffee won't spill.... wait... oh my god!"

This is literally how i carry stacks of plates and bowls

I thought this was fire department coffee lol, atleast I learned something new

I have a ceiling fan that will vibrate like crazy whenever I rev my car 😂

When you work in a restaurant carrying martinis in a tray you learn to cam your arm slightly to conteract the resonant sloshes

Holy sh- i cant explain how helpful this is for me

Wow...if they teach like this in school....I would have never failed

Fun fact, as a waiter when servingg drinks I would move the hand carrying the tray slightly up and down just enough to prevent any spillage.

At first I was like “wtf is this guy on about” lol

Aight when I see the sand worm I should bring a coffe

I remember I had a really out of tune guitar that kept changing tuning and one time it perfectly lined up with my phones vibration and it made the guitar sound

this is why i sway my coffee with my walking rythm, get decent enough at it you can walk with a near-to the bring cup and be fine

that's why i just watch my cup and change my steps according to the waves

Depending when and how you spill your coffee, both will also feel like the same thing.

I took this concept and applied it to my life as a whole. No sandworms. Just regular worms.

simplistically brilliant

I’m a server and I actually use this idea when carrying many full drinks to my tables, except since I always need to be moving quickly instead of varying my speed I vary the height i carry my tray/drinks at which changes how my steps interact with the liquid

Funny way of saying just don't walk like an angry cartoon character

I did this and I certainly attracted the office sandworm

missed opportunity to call it the dune-iverse

I've noticed this, mainly in the context that my right arm is a MUCH more stable gyroscope than my left.

Going to try tbis now. Thank you!

I work are a restaurant with a cafe and Omg thank you for teaching me this. The amount of times I’ve spilled coffee

I just roll-step like back in marching band.
