Silliness to start your day in a good way 📽️ including a shrimp band and rave-ioli because... why not?

@Natasha_Jay I now have a burning desire to learn how to make kinetic sculptures. Those are delightful!

@Natasha_Jay Wunderbar! Und wer Spaß an #Kinetik und kinetischen Figuren hat: letzten Herbst entdeckte ich in Rüdesheim ein ganzes, liebevoll gepflegtes Museum voll davon, das "Mechanicum" im ehemaligen Asbach-Verwaltungsgebäude. Herrlich! https://mechanicum-asbachgasse.de/

Perfektes Mittel für alle, die die Schützenfestmusik vom letzten Wochenende aus dem Kopf kriegen wollen. 😎 (Pedro, Pedro, Pedro, düp-düp-düp 🎶)

Und ich ahne, dass ich für meine Grundschul AG sowas in der Richtung auch mal machen muss. Irgendwas mit Planeten und Raketen… 💡

@Natasha_Jay Please turn the roll around. This is triggering me hard. :-)

@kcpoole Which is not as triggering as the roll.... for me at least. @Natasha_Jay

@kcpoole @phreaknerd @Natasha_Jay And that would make for even a better parlour trick, wouldn't it?

@kcpoole

The sculpture should have a lower conveyor-belt like part that looks like a road - problem solved!

That's OK, shrimp swim backwards anyway

@phreaknerd I read the replies only to see if someone has already mentioned it. Thank you.

Still, the shrimp must go forward. There is no solution. Let's just call it art.

@lasse @phreaknerd @Natasha_Jay Yep and you know its author is right here on the Fediverse?
Also, I can confirm that you are correct to say overshot is the only way to hang your toilet roll.

A video showing off a bunch of wooden kinetic contraptions:

  • a shrimp riding a unicycle on a toilet roll as it gets unrolled
  • a swing band consisting of shrimps playing guitar, keytar, trumpet and saxophone, as they swing, dance, or spin around.
  • a hand cranking the mechanism; you can see the wooden tumbles go up and down as it spins. A lid, with pyramids on top, above the mechanism has the text "what is hidden under the pyramids?". As another hand lifts up the lid, a blue, green and grey alien are revealed, playing some kind of brass wind instrument, turntables, and a keytar.
  • a frog with top hat, riding a galloping snail
  • a skeleton dancing
  • a skeleton with red hearts for eyes, dropping its jaw
  • a shrimp behind a wooden table with a cutting board, chopping orange, grey, and grey foods.
  • 3 beans with faces and limbs, dancing on top of a can of beans; one has a boombox, while another spins on its head.
  • a wooden kitchen table, full with food, with mice swinging and dancing around with the food.
  • 3 pumpkins; one playing a drum, another a harmonica, and the third a saxophone
  • a cat with a blue wizard har, stirring on a cauldron with a green brew.
  • a dog riding a Small Red Car
  • A frog with a top hat riding a unicycle on top of a roll of toilet paper being unrolled in its holder.
  • a shrimp in a suit, riding a skateboard over a threadmill, hopping over shells, fish, and other things.
  • a beaver and a a hedgehog, clapping their paws.
  • a bunch of pasta dancing at a rave: rave-ioli. There's a purple turntable and big speakers.
