Live look at me trying to figure out if this NASA Broom-Standup thing is real or the internet has made me dumb pic.twitter. Thanks, #BroomstickChallenge □□□□ Īstronaut Alvin Drew and scientist Sarah Noble respond to the #BroomstickChallenge, showing that basic physics works every day of the year - not just February 10th. There’s no special gravity that only affects brooms, but the Moon’s gravity creates tides on Earth. Of course, NASA chimed in with an adorable “you guys are wrong, but it’s ok” tweet: A brooms center of gravity is in its bristles at its base. Tory Lanez with the #broomstickchallenge… Pajama broom challenge □ What are you doing on a Monday Night?! #broomchallenge /1DU7q9bZp4 Paula Abdul straight up went full ’80s dance party at the site of her broom standing upright: OH MY GOD?!?! I REBUKE THIS #BroomChallenge #Gravity /DtdlLHnWrq the vibe formally known as □ February 10, 2020Įven celebs got in on the madness, like Ally Brook of Fifth Harmony: We had to go test it… /DNtkOlLRGdĮveryone on the Internet became powerful wizards: Things got weird in one quick sweep (sorry for the pun): Me: this aint shit, lets proof it #nasabroom #broomstickchallenge #broomchallange #broomstickchallenge /yE5MYiVODiĮven a pug can do it #broomstickchallenge /Mn1OeVwl0jĭawwggg.

As laypeople, this sounds legitimate enough, right? Wrong. Is it magic? Is it some sort of magnetic planetary alignment thing? The #Broomstick Challenge” is sweeping across the globe and social media, the basic idea being that some objects can stand upright because gravity does some sort of special *gravitational pull thing* on certain days of the year.Īpparently, people have been doing this because they were told NASA shared the challenge on February 10, which is one of the supposed high holy days of broomstick magic. Apparently, everyone and their mother has become either a witch or a scientist, because people the world over are forcing their brooms to stand up straight without anyone’s help in what is being called the Broomstick Challenge.
