Hydraulic Press Crushes LEGO, and Our Souls


Recommended Posts

Pressed

LEGO bricks are known to be pretty tough. Sets are put through all kinds of stress and heat tests before making it to toy store shelves. A 2x2 brick can withstand 950 pounds of pressure, or about 375,000 bricks stacked on top of it, before showing signs of force. But today we have a truly disheartening experiment: What happens when a hydraulic press traps some bricks underneath it to squish them beyond recognition?

from the Hydraulic Press Channel to find out. And if you feel as bad as I do that a whole set was smooshed into oblivion, just remember it is for science!

Oh hey! It's this channel. This guy has such a memorable laugh.

 

Also, I think I feel more bad about the clay penguin than the Minigures :P. At least the Minifigures went out with a smile. The penguin? It just looked up at the press with such sad eyes like it knows that it's going to get smooshed and it can't do anything about it.

It says something about LEGO that when the "Lego man" was standing he just shot out as soon as the press made contact with him.

At some point you realize that you are but a speck in the Universe.


That you time in this worlds is but a blink.


You see the whole of reality as it unfolds before you.


You try to see how far you can reach, and it’s not that far past your face.


But then you come back from the brink.


You hold them in your arms again.


And you know that you are where their world begins.


You are their rock.
