I tried to simulate this in my sink. I kept my hand under water and suddenly displaced it leftward (not a perfect model, but good enough). Notice the bulge of water to the left, and the evacuation of water on the right. Anyone to the left gets a wave first; those to the right get a trough! 9/9

Trying to simulate tsunami physics in sinks, puddles, and pools was one of my favorite things as a kid, geeking out so hard 😂

This is extremely adorable nerd shit. I can see 8yo you doing this exact same thing. 🥹
