This is a question DIY Techno-hacks

Old hard drive platters make wonderfully good drinks coasters - they look dead smart and expensive and you've stopped people reading your old data into the bargain.

Have you taped all your remotes together, peep-show-style? Have you wired your doorbell to the toilet? What enterprising DIY have you done with technology?

Extra points for using sellotape rather than solder.

Pedantic scientific bit
If you could change the Earth's tilt, you move the tropics and polar regions, but the Equator stays where it is.

To actually move the Equator, you'd need to get the Earth to spin round a completely different axis.

Good luck though.

Come to think of it
The Earth's angle of tilt does vary with time anyway - there are monuments in South Korea marking the Tropic of Cancer which are no longer actually on the Tropic of Cancer.
