Wintergatan - Marble Music Machine (2000 marbles)
This is incredible! At first i was like hmm that doesn’t sound like music, then the dude drops the beat hard.
@zooeyscigar and @bootsnblossoms, I think you’ll love this, darlings!
*jaw drop* Not only is the sound amazing and gorgeous, but to think someone spent probably hundreds of hours to dream this up and make it… Human imagination and ingenuity is incredible.
You should see the new machine he’s been working on!
Edit: Here’s a link to the latest test!
“Baikal Zen”: Rocks that have fallen on the ice of Lake Baikal are heated by sunlight and emit infrared rays that melt the ice below. Once the sun is gone, the ice becomes solid again, creating a small support for the rock above.
WoW tea
not to hijack or anything OP but like I think this is one of the most devastating things about our society
we are taugh that we’re meant to spend our adult lives generating capital and recovering from generating capital and then doing it again
play is one of the most creative things a human can do and we’re not meant to stop playing when we get big, our storylines are just supposed to get in-depth
but capitalism is like “no, freedom to play is for CHILDREN, your purpose is to PRODUCE”
I don’t want to grow up
I wanna build a fort in the woods and play using sticks as swords
None of my friends wants to play anymore.
Most adult animals play too. Everyone needs to play to relieve stress and feel better, and society would be much less tiring and depressing if everyone understood this. What is really frustrating is when society will only allow playing (which includes anything creative) as a form of capital-generating work. Do you draw in your free time? Then you gotta master your skills and sell your art, otherwise it’s pointless and childish. Do you play videogames? If you aren’t good enough to be a competitive player and make money out of it then what’s the point? Do you play sports? Better to turn yourself into an actual athlete or you’re just being immature.
This mindset is so freaking toxic. You don’t need a reason or a goal to play or be creative. You need NO REASON besides the fact that it makes you happy.

Trying to keep up with this made me feel like English wasn’t my native language
