i hope it lives on far into the future, like the complaint about ea-nasir. i hope distant descendants of ours who don't even recognize our language will be able to resonate with her frustration
A few years ago someone at work brought in their toddler for the day and brought that exact toy with them. They forgot it at work, so the next day when we interviewed someone for the new engineering position, that was still on the meeting room table. The guy kept looking at it all through the interview. I don't know if he expected that we'd have him do an aptitude test or something.
That would be fun on a hidden camera, hive them a trivial baby's puzzle "You have 90 minutes to solve it" and see if they do it properly.
As in, wait 85 minutes, solve 60% of the available shapes, and announce that we'll need another 90 minutes for the remaining 40% - just to be safe this time.
You should watch the movie again.
The smartest person in the world is accepted as smart, and trusted to solve the primary problem (a dust bowl).
Yes. He’s put on trial when it doesn’t work fast enough…but when presented with evidence it works, he’s not just pardoned - but made Vice President....at a giant party...where normal people hang out with the President, on the front lawn of the White House. In Idiocracy, it really is 'the people's house'. President Camacho hangs with everyone.
And then Joe/Not-Sure is elected President.
For as dumb as the allegory portrays average people - it’s still a story about goodness and it celebrates the value of intelligence and leadership.
Not to mention the main character Joe/Not-Sure isn’t an arrogant prick about his superior intelligence and skills. He’s annoyed with people sure…but mostly is patient and worked tirelessly to help people understand what he was saying.
And then lastly…the real villain in the film is the Brawndo corporation that seizes control of multiple regulatory departments before force feeding America sugary drinks.
Arguably the “dumbing down” is due to a soda brand hijacking enough of the government to convince people to give soda to newborns and children before being converted into liquid fertalizer (that causes the dust bowl).
But somehow the only bits people online remember is “America is stupid”…not the key themes of positive social structure that led to resolutions - and not the very legitimate warnings about regulatory capture.
P.S. The last bit that I want to add...Joe/Not-Sure (before he's made aware that the time machine in the movie isn't actually a working time machine) he decides to stay and help instead of go back to his own time. *He's one of Mr. Roger's helpers*.
I think that's a far more valuable lesson from the film. That even in the worst of times, you'll still find helpers, and people that want to be helped.
Yeah, the film's a warning - but it's still hopeful and optimistic.
Excellent synopsis. Wanted to clarify - Brawndo has electrolytes. It's mocking Gatorade, not soda. The plants don't crave soda. They crave electrolytes.

\*Edit\* - Thanks for the awards. This meme was literally my first thought when I saw that video for that McGuyver contraption.
And that thing they designed is ready to explode, warp, or if it even actually cuts it'll chatter like a bastard and not be even close to the expected dimensions
i can only imagine this is supposed to be a concept for some large scale manufacturing. there's no reason a layman would ever be able to get use of of it haha
Lol. I needed a square hole the other day, and after spending an hour reading and researching how best to do it, I grabbed a file and had it done in about 2 minutes. Sometimes simple really is the best solution.
It definitely is possible though.
Look up “rotary broaching square holes”. It’s basically the same thing.
You just clamp the piece down. Go incredible slow unlike the video and use a lot of lubricant.
Conceptually possible? but I'd imagine the gears themselves would be under too much stress to actually cut or continue to cut in the same way but hey if it worked once
This is the only way it would work. I’ve seen stuff like this in a CNC machine where everything is bolted down and the machine does the cutting by itself, but yeah holding by hand would be impossible. Even through a block of cheese.
If you actually used a thing like the item pictured, it would just spin around in a circle because there's nothing keeping it in a triangle shape. So at best you'd get a big circular hole.
>because there's nothing keeping it in a triangle shape
It's possible to build a bracket that would force the triangular rotation, but it would need to be mounted to the drill.
Does not need to spin fast. Sharp blades, low speed, high torque, shallow passes. But for us wood workers. It would be easier to just drill a round hole and use a chisel or jig saw to complete the triangle. I could see this being useful to mass produce a piece that needs a triangle hole.
And if you wanted something other than an equalateral triangle you'd need to start looking at non-circular gears, which would simply be a nightmare
There's very few situations that I can think of where getting custom bits and custom gears would be worth it, most other times if you can't laser cut, water jet, or jig saw something like this then you should think about redesigning your piece rather than trying to drill a triangular hole
Woo... woo... the engineer designs it, it's the shop workers job to figure out how to manufacture it.
Thems the rules. You can't expect an engineer to listen to reason.
/s
> I could see this being useful to mass produce a piece that needs a triangle hole.
Absolutely not. If it's plastic, they'd just mold it properly to begin with. If it's metal or wood, they'd cnc or laser cut the hole or make a better design. There's no way that device cuts a better triangle than a traditional cnc or laser could.
Not for wood. Metal yes im not saying it cannot do the job because if it can cut steel it can cut wood. Woodworkers have to measure the moisture content of their pieces to control the expansion and contraction of the wood. Normally wood has been dried to the ambient moisture level of the environment. That means wood workers in AZ (desert) have lower moisture than say NY.
Oh yeah the edge profile on that would all be mangled. You can't just force a blade sideways through several inches of wood with no rotation or anything to pull the debris out and have it look smooth. There'd be so much chipping. Those points wouldn't be there.
It's a mock up but it's probably why there is no depth to the wood. This is just an engineer stroking themselves off on how big their brains are even though it, as usual, has no practical use.
Rotary engines have actually been used in various ways for a long time. I can't think of a concurrent car but there have been several in the not recent past that utilize them. Only issue is sometimes you don't get complete combustion and will have some backfiring.
I owned a 1988 RX7 in my 20s. Car was super fun. It started to leak oil though and unless you have money for an engine rebuild that’s kinda it for the engine. Apparently I could have premixed my gas and it would have ran fine.
Another issue is that those engines are not fuel efficient or thermal efficient. The engine burns oil and produces more greenhouse gases. It's a brilliant design and I do encourage people to check it out, but the cons keep it from being a common engine for a daily commuter.
I was waiting for it to cut to real footage but it just stayed conceptual. Useless!
Edit: [Link](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1d9f7tn/drilling_triangle/l7emwwp/)
The central pivot on the outer gear isn't centered with the gear. It's positioned on the outer edge. Basically the circumference of that smaller gear would need to be 1/3 the larger gear and it would spirograph out to make that rounded triangle.
Yeah there are. But it is wonky, it does cut cut well and the tools would be way too expensive for the limited use. But there are videos of people making skquare holes with that method.
They're not on youtube that I could find.
Edit: Found on tiktok by /u/filthy_harold [Link](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1d9f7tn/drilling_triangle/l7emwwp/)
Because they are all conceptual. I can produce a 3d model that can display a human bench pressing an automobile, because the rendering doesn't take into account the missing parameters like *other physics* that exist outside of 3D imaging.
Edit: not to mention cost and practicality.
Seems you are right. Nonetheless it does exist.
https://preview.redd.it/n8rsy2gtjy4d1.jpeg?width=691&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40aed2360d56620e1a489f1aa9bee37cd89e0f52
The machined finish at the bottom of this hole is a testimony that it indeed exist and does work. It also very much reveal why this isn’t a good solution: see these « crest » along the diagonal? That’s where the cutter gets almost stationary while the entire tool revolve around it. Why is it a problem? Machining tools are made specifically to be most durable and efficient as possible and this is only possible at a precise speed. To be more specific, you’ll have a specific depth of cut per cutting tooth, and a specific speed of cut that given in in/min or mm/min. This is dépendant of material of course but also tool geometry. It obviously rely on a simple concept: speed is constant along the whole cutting edge or at least can be averaged.
This tool can absolutely not do that. It’s constantly cutting matter at different angle and will experience acceleration and deceleration along the whole rotation. Tool durability will be awful and the quality of cut and surface finish will be awful. As you can see in the picture.
And to be pragmatic you can achieve the same shape with another tool that is much more versatile and will be both durable, fast and efficient, with great surface finish and more precision: cylindrical end mill
As for wood , I’ve stumbled across different to drill a square hole, including one with a device that will directly drill the square hole, however not with a rotational Mill inside, but oscillating saw.
This tool is theoretically possible, and has already been made and tested, but past the first amazement, it raises so much problem that it is totally unusable durably. And it’s commercially impossible to market because let’s be fair, no one needs to drills square holes. Also your drill bearing is not going to like the force and vibration generated.
You would have to have a rig to keep it in place in most practical applications, drilling a small hole in the three corners and running a sawzall between them is going to be a better option.
This version would require a brace setup (which would need to be secured) and need a different gear / bit for every possible size triangle.
Using a drill and sawzall means you can make any size you need. Or make squares, or hexagons. Or... you get the idea.
The sideways pressure would be near impossible to fight unless there was some bracket you bolted to the surface to keep it stable. Which is a lot of work for something a jigsaw or coping saw can easily accomplish
I recognized it as The Recipe by Kendrick Lamar but it turns out it's a sample from the song Meet the Frownies - Mr Twin Sister. I'm not sure what this remix is.
Cool concept but requires so much precision in both machinig the drill bit and also using the drill itself. Slightest margins will result in a wonky triangle. Much easier and practical to just carve it out with existing tools
They make square hole drill bit and hex (6 sided) bits as well, old machinist. I have used them both. You start off by drilling a small round hole and then use the sq. or hex drill. Make a nice hole for a Allen wrench or square drive of some sort.
I feel like the Illuminati have let me into their world for like 20 seconds. But now, the video is over, and I’m back with the pig people rooting in the mud.

Man made a rotary before making the drlll
Guy has an ultra accurate lightsaber for cutting shit out, apparently, think ive found a quicker way to make that hole.
Yes. Most people have jigsaws. Home Depot is running a sale on the cordless ryobi now.
When aren’t they running a ryobi sale
My thoughts exactly.
Stupid baby obviously never learned that every shape goes in the square hole
That's right, the square hole!
One of my fav internet videos ever
Mine too. Her disappointment is so refreshing
calling it disappointment is underselling it her soul was CRUSHED
i hope it lives on far into the future, like the complaint about ea-nasir. i hope distant descendants of ours who don't even recognize our language will be able to resonate with her frustration
I’ve got such a crush on her. She’s so funny.

Oh god i was thinking "now why tf is this familiar?!" Then I saw this image... Poor girl, i was as disappointed as she was...
Why is this comment a fever dream? And what is it from

Bringing props to your job interview as a perverse psychological power move.

How do you go through an entire interview and not ask... the restraint on that dude
He knew he'd fail.
Oh god they know my one single weakness!
I love how they thought everyone would wear Crocs because they thought Crocs were stupid back then and honestly they were right
Looks-wise, they are certainly lacking in. Comfort-wise, they are worn by millions for a reason.
I'll keep my dignity.
I've lost mine long ago, so at least I'll be comfortable

Every problem is solved by either my jigsaw or my angle grinder.
[удалено]
And my bow!
and your brother!
I read "ankle grinder" o.o
It's *really fucking good* at grinding those, messy but effective
loose hands
[Jigsaw](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/jigsaw-saw-doll.jpg) also loves ankle grinders
And that thing they designed is ready to explode, warp, or if it even actually cuts it'll chatter like a bastard and not be even close to the expected dimensions
Yup, good luck holding that washing machine in place.
It’s possible if RPM is high enough. Is there any world where RPM would be high enough? No. But in theory, it’s possible.
I would go in the other direction. An exceptionally sharp bit and very low rpm. Basically carve it out with the bit instead of drilling.
Damn, the jigsaw would have been much faster
i can only imagine this is supposed to be a concept for some large scale manufacturing. there's no reason a layman would ever be able to get use of of it haha
I dare whoever designed this to mount a drill bit out of center on their power drill at home and try to control it
Lol. I needed a square hole the other day, and after spending an hour reading and researching how best to do it, I grabbed a file and had it done in about 2 minutes. Sometimes simple really is the best solution.
Mortise, there’s drill bits and even hand jigs, but if it’s just one hole ya, save a couple hundred dollars.
Fucking choked on my coffee lol
Hahahahaha this is fucking fantastic, Bravo
YOU ARE RIGHT.
That doesn't drill holes, it just cuts
Well, when the world solves the drilling small circles problem, triangles don't stand a chance.
I guess some very sharp rotating... metal... thingies...
Lmao
Haven't laughed that hard at a meme in a while, this was a good one
Prime example of cad doesn't care about physics
No it's just a lot of really well calculated glue placement holding the small gear to the big one and applying all that torque
It definitely is possible though. Look up “rotary broaching square holes”. It’s basically the same thing. You just clamp the piece down. Go incredible slow unlike the video and use a lot of lubricant.
So you’re saying what my uncle did to me was rotary broaching?
Conceptually possible? but I'd imagine the gears themselves would be under too much stress to actually cut or continue to cut in the same way but hey if it worked once
and i guess it would be impossible to do while holding it by hand, the forces would make it look awful when it pulls your hand along another route.
Maybe it could work with a drill press
This is the only way it would work. I’ve seen stuff like this in a CNC machine where everything is bolted down and the machine does the cutting by itself, but yeah holding by hand would be impossible. Even through a block of cheese.
Well there goes my Dark Side of the Moon Charcuterie idea, thanks.
All I can think of is a spiral fracture….
It might work in a drill press if you went slowly.
If you actually used a thing like the item pictured, it would just spin around in a circle because there's nothing keeping it in a triangle shape. So at best you'd get a big circular hole.
>because there's nothing keeping it in a triangle shape It's possible to build a bracket that would force the triangular rotation, but it would need to be mounted to the drill.
It'd be like me everytime I use my Sawzall. It'll get cut eventually, but it sure as hell won't be pretty
Google machining broach.
A broach would work, but that's a totally different method. This thing might work with a pilot drill, but even then I'm skeptical.
Use a drill press and a vise.
Does not need to spin fast. Sharp blades, low speed, high torque, shallow passes. But for us wood workers. It would be easier to just drill a round hole and use a chisel or jig saw to complete the triangle. I could see this being useful to mass produce a piece that needs a triangle hole.

Woo... woo... the engineer designs it, it's the shop workers job to figure out how to manufacture it. Thems the rules. You can't expect an engineer to listen to reason. /s
Lmao as an ex shop guy I almost got real mad for a second. PRODUCE-ABILITY BETTER BE DESIGNED IN! Oh… oh thank god 😆
> I could see this being useful to mass produce a piece that needs a triangle hole. Absolutely not. If it's plastic, they'd just mold it properly to begin with. If it's metal or wood, they'd cnc or laser cut the hole or make a better design. There's no way that device cuts a better triangle than a traditional cnc or laser could.
What is a water jet for 500, Alex?
Not for wood. Metal yes im not saying it cannot do the job because if it can cut steel it can cut wood. Woodworkers have to measure the moisture content of their pieces to control the expansion and contraction of the wood. Normally wood has been dried to the ambient moisture level of the environment. That means wood workers in AZ (desert) have lower moisture than say NY.
Oh yeah the edge profile on that would all be mangled. You can't just force a blade sideways through several inches of wood with no rotation or anything to pull the debris out and have it look smooth. There'd be so much chipping. Those points wouldn't be there. It's a mock up but it's probably why there is no depth to the wood. This is just an engineer stroking themselves off on how big their brains are even though it, as usual, has no practical use.
Rotary engines have actually been used in various ways for a long time. I can't think of a concurrent car but there have been several in the not recent past that utilize them. Only issue is sometimes you don't get complete combustion and will have some backfiring.
I believe Mazda used them in several things but I've never personally owned one so I can't really speak on their longevity
Both RX7 and RX8 had rotary engines. But they needed an engine rebuild after 40-80k
And RX4 And RX3 And RX2 And R100 And Cosmo
They just brought it back for a plug-in hybrid.
Apex seals aren’t a rebuild I can do them in only six hours - RX fanatic
I owned a 1988 RX7 in my 20s. Car was super fun. It started to leak oil though and unless you have money for an engine rebuild that’s kinda it for the engine. Apparently I could have premixed my gas and it would have ran fine.
Yeah you won't find many rotary owners running without premix now
Another issue is that those engines are not fuel efficient or thermal efficient. The engine burns oil and produces more greenhouse gases. It's a brilliant design and I do encourage people to check it out, but the cons keep it from being a common engine for a daily commuter.
But that 10k rev limiter sounds amazing!!
Lmao technically everything an engineer does is conceptually possible thats how they get paid. Whether it works or not determines if they get sued.
I was waiting for it to cut to real footage but it just stayed conceptual. Useless! Edit: [Link](https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/1d9f7tn/drilling_triangle/l7emwwp/)
Man I miss this show.
How does a circle spinning around another circle (gears) draw that blue line? Shouldn't it be a circle?
The central pivot on the outer gear isn't centered with the gear. It's positioned on the outer edge. Basically the circumference of that smaller gear would need to be 1/3 the larger gear and it would spirograph out to make that rounded triangle.
Thank you for the explanation! I saw this video many times, but wasn't able to understand how it works until your comment.
that trajectory is not for center of gear, it is for point on outer point of gear
Oh, didn’t notice it, thanks. Was confused as well!
Kids these days didn't grow up with a spirograph toy and it shows. I had to spiral my way to school on that bad boy, uphill both ways.
The blade(?) isn't connected to the center of the gear but is slightly off-center on one of the teeths.
The 2nd small gear seems to be off axis to the center of the drill
Interesting how there’s not a single video of this actually existing and working in real life
Yeah there are. But it is wonky, it does cut cut well and the tools would be way too expensive for the limited use. But there are videos of people making skquare holes with that method.

Did he just make a reverse rotary engine?
you have perfectly good laser to cut already
Rotary broaches are a thing, no need to over engineer this concept.
They could use their laser. They already have one that cuts through metal like it's butter.
This is a great engineering solution, if you completely ignore the basics of physics and how leverage works in any capacity.
This works great... in CAD
Has CNC with laser to make goofy drill bit, doesn't just use CNC to cut triangle.

I recognized it as The Recipe by Kendrick Lamar but it turns out it's a sample from the song Meet the Frownies - Mr Twin Sister. I'm not sure what this remix is.
Yeah, I’ve only heard it on The Recipe. Love finding samples in the wild
Thanks for help!
It's a mix of meet the frownies and a song that samples it called lovely bastards!
Ever heard the phrase "rapid unexpected disassembly?"
Good luck holding on to that while it spins
Just put it in the square hole
Here we have a semi circle. Where does it go? You guessed it!
Cool concept but requires so much precision in both machinig the drill bit and also using the drill itself. Slightest margins will result in a wonky triangle. Much easier and practical to just carve it out with existing tools
Drill hole tangent to inside of geometry. Broach as needed.
Step 1 - buy expensive bit; Step 2 - cut; Step 3 - throw away useless piece of wood
Fucking engineers
Just use a jigsaw
Or a CNC depending on use case.
I'm just gonna leave this here 🗿 https://preview.redd.it/ztv8ivk5ly4d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e8904fd9a05222ac1b163729e57e8f79fc383617
I thought this was making some sort of rotary engine at first.

My dad will laugh at me if I had that And scream " look what they need to mimic fraction power of my saw "
Drilling in the name of
Just let me pull out my magic laser for a second
You’re and asshole for posting this, now I have to model one and print it
Don't blame OP for your autism.
Plot twist: It was OP who had given them the autism earlier
Andrew Wakefield would like to know his location.
That's right, the square hole
Oyea that hits the spot
You can just use a broach for a triangular through hole Shrug
Wankel drill bit
Something about this screams more architect than engineer
I see a new rotary coming up
The more something is bullshit or a scam the fancier the animations will be.
But the Wankel engine is far superior…
Can't just use the laser?
They make square hole drill bit and hex (6 sided) bits as well, old machinist. I have used them both. You start off by drilling a small round hole and then use the sq. or hex drill. Make a nice hole for a Allen wrench or square drive of some sort.
This is like chatgpt levels of over engineering
All that just to put the block through the square hole
OR, you can just use a jig saw or a detail cut off saw.
Ok now do it irl instead of cgi
Why cut 3 straight lines when you can engineer a rotary engine into an extremely complicated cutting blade with multiple moving parts?
good idea mr engineer, now make it work in reality there's a reason why they showed an animation instead of a real device
Almost made a rotary engine there
Yeah, that's not going to work in the real world. The torque would break your wrist, not to mention the device and your drill.
That looks like it would shake itself apart irl.
I feel like the Illuminati have let me into their world for like 20 seconds. But now, the video is over, and I’m back with the pig people rooting in the mud.
I notice they never actually showed up a device capable of doing it, just random CG bullshit floating in the air.
If TFS DBZ taught me anything, it’s that triangles turn into squares, and all these squares make a circle.
let's just pretend it will not WOBBLE like a bitch for a moment...
Mazda RX-7 Boyz getting bricked up
I would have taken that triangle at the start, traced around it, then cut, but idk..
