Silliness to start your day in a good way πŸ“½οΈ including a shrimp band and rave-ioli because... why not?

@Natasha_Jay I love the Rave-eoli πŸ’–
@Natasha_Jay Please turn the roll around. This is triggering me hard. :-)
@phreaknerd @Natasha_Jay
I came here to say the same !
but then the wheel will go in reverse!
@kcpoole @phreaknerd @Natasha_Jay And that would make for even a better parlour trick, wouldn't it?
@kcpoole @phreaknerd @Natasha_Jay
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.

@Natasha_Jay

@phreaknerd @Natasha_Jay Yeah, I was curious if anyone cared enough to point that out.
@phreaknerd @Natasha_Jay Due to cuteness I will let this one pass. πŸ₯°

@phreaknerd @Natasha_Jay yes!

Toilet paper over βœ…

(anyone remember Thimbleweed Park πŸ˜‰?)

@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.
@phreaknerd @Natasha_Jay LMAO am not the only one who noticed it 😝
@blogdiva But that would make the shrimp ride backwards

@phreaknerd you don't have kid nor cat, do you? 🀭

@Natasha_Jay

@Natasha_Jay
Rave-ioli for the win! 🀘🀣
@Natasha_Jay holy shit "i just wanna be part of your shrimphony" is real
@Natasha_Jay Scenes from Men in Black, aren't they?
@Natasha_Jay Brilliant! Ravioli and Lavirolli
@Natasha_Jay Loo roll is on back to front.

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.

@Natasha_Jay the animation is incredibly good, they worked hard on it i'm sure.
@Natasha_Jay The music and the aliens really make this for me. An absolute delight!
@Natasha_Jay
