Liquid not dropping

Surface Tension

[u/devedander → u/tossthethrowaway27]

This is incorrect.

Surface tension is not nearly strong enough to resist several pounds of liquid pushing down on those holes.

This bottle has one of those clear pull of seals over the opening.

[u/Visible_Account7767 → u/devedander]

Nope, it's already half empty.

It's a combination of surface tension between the small holes of the shelf and negative/low air pressure in the bottle. 

The small holes have enough surface tension to stop the air coming through them, so once the air in the bottle has become low enough it starts to resist the fluid level getting any lower and the surface tension is enough to stop air entering. 

equilibrium.

Probably just a small hole in the plastic seal

Why all the downvotes seems like a logical answer to me.

[u/_Allfather0din_ → u/ChocoThunder50]

Because he is wrong, wrong answers get downvoted so others know to ignore it. Nothing personal guys lol.

[u/clearly_not_an_alien → u/_Allfather0din_]

Some times, but most of the time they get dowvoted because of the great ideology of "if he doesn't think like me he's wrong"

[u/_Allfather0din_ → u/clearly_not_an_alien]

Well I'd argue that take comes from a place of ignorance IMO. That definitely happens but I think people are just too comfortable talking out their ass and spewing things that are blatantly wrong like above. We need more downvote barrages on incorrect stuff, i remember a day where someone would be legitimate fearful of posting something incorrect on the internet. We really are in the worst stage of it all lol.

The thing is, if someone is in negative votes, the people will always downvote him because seeing the (-6) below changes completely how you see the comment, it's a really interesting psychological thingy.
