This is a video of ex-NASA engineer Mark Rober building and experimenting with Chopstix, a googly eyed, midi-controlled transparent player piano he built that can not only play some of the hardest songs out there like Rush E (previously), but also talk via pressing its keys to form the necessary

This is a video of musician Lorenzo Vaccaro playing “the supposedly impossible MIDI track Rush E” at a very respectable 152BPM. For reference, that’s about my heart rate on my walk down the driveway to get the mail. My doctor says I’m going to die. My bookie says the same

For reference, I can’t do anything in my sleep except have terrifyingly realistic nightmares and accidentally (but thankfully) farting myself awake. Per Nandi:

Because you should never not dare to experiment, this is a video of someone attempting to play a trumpet with its bell submerged in a bowlful of strawberry Jell-O. The result may surprise you. Or it may not. But it’ll definitely make you wish you were squishing Jell-O between your
