Tool Time

Toilet paper for me
Do you know for a four legs table no matter the floor it sits on. There is always a rotational position where all it's legs touch ground at the same level.
For circular tables that are uneven you can just rotate the table until it sits right.
For square tables you may check the 90° angles to see if you are lucky.
Edit: This theory works with even legs + uneven (bumpy) floors. For your own safety do not test this the other way around.

How do you fuck up posting a link so damn bad.
You're terrible at scamming, you should be ashamed of yourself!
What was the broken link? It's edited now and goes to an Amazon page.

A cool thing is, you can achieve the same effect by rotating the table in a circle (if possible) until you find a stable angle, since for 4 points on a circle there has to exist at least one rotation angle where they are on the same elevation.
I've done this with my dinner table several times.
Is there mathematical proof for this? It sounds like it could be true, but also sounds like you could actively create a floor which it wasn't true for
I'm pretty sure this doesn't account for any floor that isn't a flat plane.
It doesn't require a flat plane ground, but it does require the table legs to be equal in length
This is one of those things that works in a simulated environment but not in practice in the real world.
