In summary, the conversation discusses a spinning egg shaped chocolate and the phenomenon of gyroscopic precession. The person explains that when the chocolate is spun on its side, it will eventually start to spin on its point and then fall back onto its side. The other person confirms that this is most likely due to gyroscopic precession, which is further explained as a physics concept.

I had this egg shaped piece of chocolate today and I spun it on the table when it was lying on its side. If I spun it hard enough, then it would start on its side, then move up until it was spinning on its point, then it would fall back dowm onto its side. Why does this happen?

If I understand what you're saying right, it's probably just gyroscopic precession.

And gyroscopic precession is what?
BTW Thank you for being so detailed.
