If you've ever seen the pictured animations online of the 'blue-ball machine,' you'll know it's like a big Rube Goldberg machine, where a long chain of objects react to perform a simple task. These online animations [two of which I found here, and here (click the 'here's) are similar in that they transport several blue balls around a map of arbitrary contraptions, and though no goal seems present like a Rube Goldberg, it is a continuous chain of events to move the balls. It's fun to follow a ball as it travels through the picture, but it's pretty disappointing when they roll off the screen (EDIT: Now I get why they roll on and off screen in random places - they are made to be tiled, so the gifs above are tiled and look a lot smoother like this . You can find others by just googling 'blue ball machine' or something).
Now to the reason I was posting this, YouTube user freddiew (who's videos have been posted here before) uploaded a real-life video to YouTube of a blue ball machine, and it was quite entertaining but short.
See it below.

You know what's BS?
A series of mildly entertaining and comedic rants.
Note: These videos contain somewhat strong language...
There are these videos of a guy ranting about random things (that's as detailed as I can get)... topics ranging from printers to penguins to temperature and more. You can probably get through them all in about 15-25 minutes because they are all about 1-3 minutes, with the exception of one. They are quite outdated now (especially the earlier ones), but still funny. Don't stop watching because you don't like one, you'll probably find one you like...
There are more episodes, they can be found by clicking on the video above.
