A r/PerfectlyCutScreams classic has somehow got people nostalgic for Physics lessons
It may take some effort, depending on how long it is since you left school, but if you cast your mind back you may remember a Physics lesson featuring an electrostatic generator, the Van de Graaff generator. It’s like rubbing a balloon on a sweater and sticking it on your head, but times a thousand*.
*not a scientific measurement.
Over on Reddit’s r/perfectlycutscreams forum – which is surely completely self-explanatory – a teacher used the entire class to demonstrate the generator’s power.
Now, that’s a perfectly cut scream, if ever there was one.
The three-year-old post proved very popular, picking up 149,000 upvotes and well over a thousand comments.
This is the scream perfect for this sub lol.

That’s how to get the attention of the class. It even had people feeling nostalgia for school.

What a fantastic class. I would’ve paid so much more attention in physics if the lessons have been done in that kind of way.

As a teaching strategy, it’s not always easy to replicate.
