Why ?

His dad was obviously a very brilliant man and probably had a Doctorate Degree from a top university to be able to teach his son such a wonderful life-enhancing thing. I wish I had someone that could have taught me that years ago when I was a kid. I might have become the president of a bank or someone of major importance.
Some kids have all the luck. I'm envious.

ps. On second thought, was that Hunter Biden who posted that video ?

In the grand theater of Newtonian absurdity known as the family garage, a lone hero stands before the open maw of a mid-tier sedan’s trunk. “I learned about this trick from my dad,” he intones, channeling ancestral wisdom that has somehow survived natural selection despite every available evolutionary pressure. What follows is not a lifehack. It is a controlled experiment in applied quantum trunkology.Observe carefully. The specimen (a sturdy cardboard lattice containing approximately 24 units of pressurized sucrose-phosphoric-acid elixir, commercially branded as Coca-Cola) rests inside the cargo volume. According to classical mechanics, closing the lid should create a sealed, high-entropy prison from which extraction is possible only via the emergency release cable or a well-placed crowbar. Yet our subject initiates Phase One: he gently lowers the trunk lid until the latch engages with a satisfying ka-chunk. At this precise moment, the local spacetime curvature around the rear bumper undergoes a spontaneous symmetry break.Why? Because the act of closure temporarily flips the trunk’s topological charge from “open-accessible” to “closed-but-somehow-still-extractable.” This is known in fringe automotive physics as the Paternal Paradox. Dad’s original theorem, first scrawled on a napkin in 1987 after three consecutive failed attempts to parallel-park, posits that the latch mechanism briefly enters a superposition of states: simultaneously locked and politely holding the door open for one final retrieval.Phase Two begins. The subject reaches toward the now-sealed trunk and, with the serene confidence of a man who has never once calculated the moment of inertia of a full case of soda, simply… pulls it out. The cardboard lattice slides free as if the sheet-metal boundary never existed. Spectators gasp. Comment sections combust. Somewhere a physics textbook spontaneously combusts in protest.The scientific explanation is, of course, elegant nonsense. Closing the lid compresses a microscopic cloud of residual Coca-Cola vapor molecules that were left hovering near the weather stripping. These molecules, agitated by the sudden decrease in volume, achieve temporary Bose-Einstein condensate status at room temperature (a feat previously thought impossible outside of absolute-zero laboratories and extremely dedicated dad jokes). The condensate forms a temporary wormhole of approximately 0.3 seconds duration—just long enough for the case to tunnel through the closed lid via quantum tunneling of the “I-swear-this-worked-for-Dad” variety.Safety note (as required by the hashtags): the procedure carries a non-zero risk of spontaneous generation of additional uncles who claim to be the original inventors of the technique. Also, do not attempt near open flame; the phosphoric acid vapor may catalyze uncontrolled laughter in bystanders, leading to secondary injuries.And thus the cycle continues. One closed trunk. One extracted case of fizzy relativity. One more generation convinced that the laws of physics are merely suggestions whispered by men who once owned a station wagon. The universe, mildly embarrassed, looks the other way and pretends the Second Law of Thermodynamics was on a coffee break.
