Making things more complicated than they need to be: it’s human nature. Or at least my human nature. “You’re barely human.” Or natural. This is a video of Joseph of Joseph’s Machines building and demonstrating (in front of a live audience!) a Rube Goldberg machine that (with minimal effort on his part, but still more effort than should be required from a Rube Goldberg machine) gets him out of bed, washes his face, dresses him, then feeds him a banana, a breakfast sandwich, and a bowl of cereal. Or, rather, dunks his face into a bowl of cereal. Now I’ll be the first to admit I’m terrible at building Rube Goldberg machines (I’ve never made one that didn’t end waiting for first responders), but the face washing step probably should have come after that one. That’s like washing your hands before going to the bathroom, but not after. Most men don’t do either though, which is why I don’t shake hands or fist bump anymore, only wink.
