simple cartoon anti-gravity attach a slice of butter side up toast to the back of a cat then drop the cat. Toast lands butter side down and cats always land on their feet the contraption should just hover.
Physics Lesson: Butter changes the center of gravity of the slice of bread. It shifts towards the butter side causing the bread rotate so that the heaver butter side is closer to the earth. It is also why the moon keeps one side facing the earth.

And if toast ever lands butter side UP, it means you buttered the wrong side.

The toast lands butter side up if the table is 11’ tall.

Strange, yet lots of fun to watch.

If butter side down call in Satchel for clean-up detail !

Based on what I’m seeing here, cartoon physics has nothing on cartoon biology.

How many of you have ever dropped a piece of buttered bread? That’s what I thought.

It’s really just another Law of the Perverse Universe.

So what how it lands? Would you eat it landed un-buttered side up?

The eternal question I want answered is: Where does the other sock go in the dryer?

Remember “The Butter Battle Book”? Maybe the butter-side-down guys were embracing physics.

I think Verne said something wrong there. “Cartoon physics IS strange?” Grammar issues. :P

There is a published paper “Why does coffee spills off when we walk?”.
