By the weight the man steps on the scale. Only to have the steer step on a scale and weigh 0.0.. Weight Watchers every where are dropping jaws and rolling out their tongues.
Early reflective skates dazzled the Dutch during their commercial heyday; however, it wasn’t until they sharpened the edges that it became a spectator sport, except for the East Germans, who of course were known as Prussians at the time.
The next obvious question is about this seemingly magical interaction of his awareness and the alterations to the mechanics of the life force. Cecil had wondered about that, naturally. Did he have some super power? Was he able to manipulate things at a distance, without even knowing precisely what he was doing? He tested that out, early on, by bringing others in on what was happening. Nobody actually would have believed it, of course. But he could get them to see the world the way he did, and observe the effects over time. There were none. Whatever it was, it was unique to him. This led him to believe that he was not connected to the events, only at the focus of them. While this made him feel a bit less special, it also made the load of it easier to bear. He was only another part of a larger natural process beyond his comprehension. The awareness he bore was not causative, but only incidental. Feeling powerless in this way was more of a relief than he had imagined it would be.

But it’s taken until the 21st century for GE to invent the fully reverberating ’fridge, complete with 2 hours of aftershocks after being unplugged.

We all know the monitory Tale of the Brass Bull. You don’t want to get into the belly of the beast, because it’s roasting in there!
Big bells (as for Late Medieval cathedrals especially) require big casting pits and lots of fuel to feed the firings. Reverb on that, furnace-boy!
