Sometimes, people make fun of guys for doing stuff like this, but I think it's way more cool to do something you are passionate about, that is actually constructive, than buying guns for a self-created Apocalypse and harassing women online, because they won't have sex with them.

Nerds rule!

For the people asking, I believe the band is called Factoria Circular, it took some weird search queries to figure it out, but I think that's right.

@RickiTarr Seems so. They are mentioned in a blog in Spanish. https://factoriacircular.wordpress.com

Edit: thanks to a comment I have changed my mistaken claim that the blog is Italian.

@RickiTarr I really should have read that blog entry. It is not the band; just a mention of the inventor and the band.

@RickiTarr persistence pays off https://www.odditycentral.com/art/el-rodafonio-the-craziest-musical-contraption-ever-created.html

The contraption is El Rodafonio; invented around 2010 by César Alvarez Bayer in Barcelona

Rodafonio - The Craziest Musical Contraption Ever Created

The Rodafonio is an art installation made up of a large metal wheel that accommodates members of the Factoria Circular band, who play as it spins.

At least doing weird search queries is way less awkward than humming three seconds of a song your heard on the radio to the guy at the record shop...

@RickiTarr thats a lot of effort and skill gone into buillding that vehicle (and riding it safely in a busy town square, its not going to be the easiest thing to control, its steered by the two dudes on each side varying the speed they pedal at so they need to work together as much as the musicians!)

I don't know what it has to do with putting down gun nuts, or lonely men, but that is a very cool contraption!

@cy @RickiTarr Nobody mentioned gun nuts or lonely men, or even men in general. There are lots of gun nuts who are responsible owners and lonely people who don’t harass anyone. The only people put down here are violent assholes.
Show threadCySep 21, 2024
Yes, and you can also talk only about the Muslim people who are violent assholes, but it still affects how people feel about the whole group. Regardless, the video is about nonviolent nonassholes doing something cool.

@RickiTarr Indeed! Live is short. Find something fun to do that you're passionate about as long as you're not hurting others! Ignore the shitheads that shit on it. It's easy to get lost in anger, especially in this day and age where you can find anything to fuel it somewhere on the net. I'll never stop being pissed at clowns like Trump and his mob but let it consume you and he and his kind win.

@RickiTarr Love this! This is exactly why I get such a kick out of the new Tim Walz vid that's making the rounds where he's showing you how to fix a 70s era cruise control device in his old car. He obviously has a passion for making old cars run and, not coincidentally, is also a decent person with a pleasant sense of humor. You ever notice that the incel types and the ammo-sexuals have no sense of humor? I guess there's nothing funny about being 42 and still living in your mom's basement.
