This neglects the classic paper published in The Annals of Improbable Research, The Effects of Peanut Butter on the Rotation of the Earth: https://improbable.com/airchives/classical/articles/peanut_b...

I call for the paper to be retracted! Peanut cultivation requires water with the corresponding extraction of groundwater. Extraction of large amounts of groundwater can cause land subsidence and change the local topography. If done on an extremely large scale...There could be a tiny effect on Earth's rotation.

Yeah, this paper is a joke even among joke paper standards. It's just a random, one sentence hypothesis without any argument or even evidence.
