spring
noun
2. a resilient device, typically a helical metal coil, that can be pressed or pulled but returns to its former shape when released, used chiefly to exert constant tension or absorb movement.
a slinky, in its normal state will not return to its former state. The slinky you presented was altered, bent, and extended around a steel pole.
Don't leave you daytime job as a Hazardous Biodegradable Transport Specialist,

"OMFG Im so triggered - someone on the Internet doesnt worship the State like i do!"
So sad.
