roll the can, does it wobble back and forth as it slows down?

What kind of sound does the can make when you slowly turn it upside down and right side up again?

My hypothesis is that the can is a can of fruit. Some of the answers given were that the can has solids packed in liquid, at least from the sound the can makes when shaken. It is a regular can shape, cylindrical so things like tuna or canned vegetables are out because they would be shaped differently. A can of beans has fairly gelatinous liquid so the sound made would be more muffled and vegetables tend to be packed tightly with little water in it. Fruit however, has a lot of liquid with some fruit packed in it and serial numbers on both ends. Also canned fruit is more common than other things and the can was found by itself with the numbering smudged off so I'm guessing it is pretty old and for the most part forgotten because it is so common.

I measure my cereal on a daily basis. I add 3/4 cup of cereal, a serving size, to one cup of almond milk. I use a measuring cup of 1/4 cup so I can just use that for the cereal and the soy milk. I like to keep track of my caloric intake so when I measure the amount that I eat, I know exactly how many calories I consume based on the suggested serving sizes and my adherence to it.

If the measurements are inconsistent, I then eat too much or too little and may not meet my macro requirements for the day. Precise and accurate measurement removes the guesswork.
It allows me to know exactly what is being used and how much of it is being used. Things are portioned in a way that relies on precision. It just makes things easier. If I had something that weighed and measured volume all in one, that would make portioning things much easier, especially if it could extend to fit more liquids and shrink to fit less. Most people don't measure their cereal. They simply put it in a bowl and eat, eyeballing the quantities. Geology for example, measures the size, weight, and volume of minerals in order to identify them, like mercury. They set standards for certain mineral to make them easier to identify like granite has a certain hardness and weight per gram compared to something lighter like mica.

Wegener revealed his theory about continents in motion in 1912. He said the coastlines looked like they could match other coastlines and therefore identified they were once joined and drifted apart. While creating such theories early is risky, it is also beneficial because it opens up discussion to either support….....
