Thread: Domino trains, etc.

Awesome little Rube Goldberg machines. Remember that car advert, Brits, maybe a Honda one, with the stuff rolling around all over hoods, etc.? Obfuscated progression? This is more.

I used to do lots of that stuff when I was younger. Now I just mess around with computers and learn Russian.

You sound like me, comrade .

That is simply beautiful, I cannot describe in words the amazing beauty of what I have just seen.

Anyone know Japanese who can tell me what it says on all those little cards?

yes!

It's fantastic! I remember Honda advert..there was even a parody..i like it

now that's what I call a hobby for those with tons of time..(and patience)

Okay.

Are you saying that on all the flags in the video, the words have no meaning? Why are they there then???

Presumably a company name...

It’s the name of TV program for children.
Pythagoraswitch.
Pythagoras ＋ switch
It’s a program to introduce mechanism of many things that we don’t take care in daily lives but is interesting to know.
У вас в России тоже есть такие програмы, наверное?
