Banana World Records

Slovakian setter Pavol Durdik kept a spinning fidget spinner balanced on a hand-held banana — with a ping pong ball perched on top of the spinner — for 2 minutes, 24.35 seconds, claiming a brand-new RecordSetter category from his living room in Púchov. The stack defies obvious physics: a curved, held banana, a whirring three-lobed spinner, and a hollow celluloid ball, all staying together long past the point a reasonable observer would have called it. Durdik holds over 1,800 current RecordSetter titles and has spent years turning whatever is on the kitchen counter into an unlikely balancing feat.
