Re: Is this possible ?

First off, shopping carts can't bend that far. If you've ever pushed a long stack of carts they'll only give like a couple feet to each side. Let alone a full circle!

Re: Is this possible ?

I pushed carts at a grocery store in high school. They cannot bend like that, even if they're plastic. When I would push 20 at a time, they could only move a couple feet over. So it's fake.

Nope. I pushed those in high school too and they're even worse than the regular carts. If you try and turn those little ones when they're stuck together, they pop away from one another. It's shopped.

Re: Is this possible ?

I'm telling you; it's aliens doing the crop circle thing.
How else could it actually really, like really man, happen
unless aliens did it.

Re: Is this possible ?

I was thinking you have to start with each cart front to back is large circle and move each into one another at same time .How would you pull those apart if it is real ?

They look like those smaller, taller carts. They don't fit together very snuggly. I think it's possible
Maybe.....

Yes, because your carts are the same as every other store.

Re: Is this possible ?

Circles can be done. While I was in England last, there was a circle of shopping carts in a Tesco (supermarket) parking lot. It was quite funny as people were trying to figure out how it was done and who did it. A store assistant said someone did it as a prank, possibly a former employee.

Here is an article about some circles using shopping carts.

Me.... It provides an intrinsic understanding of my current cart theory that the universe exists as a series of looped carts that interact, with the big bang a result of the instability of using castor-styled wheels that frequently wobble and temporarily corrupt the dynamics of nearby hyper-loops (as in Harmony's post).

Not saying cart circles can't happen. Just that the one in this photo didn't happen.
