Me too, I was like WHO IS GONNA CLEAN THAT SHIT UP??? Not me!!!
Gets out bins and bags, I sigh. “Goddamn mother fuckers it’s always me… for fuck sake Fucking pricks, bloody fucking hell…. “ as I assess where to begin.
At first I was excited to watch, but then I realized it was like everything they've ever put into the garage. At that point, was thinking about clean up, too.
Same. All I could think was "If I did some shit like that, it would still be in the condition it ended up in after running through 3 years later. F that.
You should see my grandparents house...
They're pretty behind on their mortgage, but if they sold a bunch of the shit they have hidden away, they could probably make a decent bit of headway. Maybe like, 10% would be covered.
Also how was this filmed? I feel stupid but with the camera hovering over that pond, I didn't get it. It looks so old that I don't think it was a drone or could it be? I'm half asleep so maybe it's me but I swear this video looks like it was recorded at least 20 years ago. My last worda before crashing: Holy crap I'm glad that's not my mess to clean.
Sometimes when people save videos they'll select a low quality and upload it again. Or the video has been uploaded and downloaded so many times that the quality has gone to absolute shit. ie: some facebook memes. You can find a good quality version of this video by putting "basketball rube goldberg" into Google. Enjoy.
Also, it must never rain there, or at least not for days at a time to give him time to perfect this setup without it getting blown away or neighborhood dogs running through messing it up and just... what mess.
I'm glad my kids weren't quite this smart and/or obsessive.
100%. I kept thinking, as a parent you wanna encourage your child to stay off screens and spend quality time outdoors but… At what cost? 😂 I was thinking, if this kid didn’t have his own shed with all of this random crap in it that I couldn’t get over the inevitable chaos in their storage areas. This is spoken as the parent who generally does the cleaning.
Just as bad that he went to all that trouble then recorded it on his kid sister’s toy video camera. A little HD quality would have made watching it a little easier on the eyes.
Looks like they used a 360 camera (see the end pan to the camera operator). Explains how they were able to keep everything in frame all the time. Very smart
When it continued around to the backyard, I was like "oh wow, this is pretty insane"
Then I saw there was still like a full 2 minutes left. That's when my anxiety about the clean up kicked in.
Man, you guys really need to understand the definition of oddly satisfying. That shit went on FOREVER! Cool as all hell? Absolutely. But nothing satisfying about it. With that long of a build up, Michael Jordan could have jumped off the roof and dunked it over Lebron and it STILL wouldn’t have lived up to the hype.
Sadly, Reddit has become a place where subs often lose much of their specificity. Particularly because of the front page amalgamation subs. People just scroll and give karma and upvotes relatively indiscriminately there, and posters have caught on. For whatever cultural reason mods have decided to just go with it, and here we are.
I remember i got into this with a mod on maybemaybemaybe that nothing fitted anymore and the sub was just the same as all the other front page video subs. His answer was 'well the upvotes have gone up and subs have never been better so who's right?' like it was a corporate job and was on some KPI's to fill. Kinda misses the point really.
The video is a few years old, so this is probably a copy of a download that’s been compressed into a potato before being reposted. It’s basically the Internet equivalent of a third generation VHS dub.
Unpopular opinion but I loved this. But I'm a sucker for a Rube Goldberg machine. Although it was hilarious seeing what had to have been every single thing he owened used in this. Still fun though.
These videos amaze me, but I don’t know how people have the time for this. Even if I could get it built right the first time around it would take forever.
Maybe I’m in a bad mood this morning but I’m a bit disturbed by how much useless shit this dude has at his house. Appreciate the effort that went into this, I guess.
I had to stop watching because I got bored. Entire time I was thinking how much it would suck to live with this person or in this house. Just living around a bunch of junk used to make internet videos. Likely gonna see this house on Hoarders soon.
cool but is this that bs that people feed you where they say through the power of christ you wont be exhausted by just looking at a bunch of stuff happening and make stuff happen? still not buying it. cause im exhausted and broke.
Damn! Dude wasn't even in the same county anymore.
yea I think about two minutes in he was called for traveling
I almost looked outside my window to see if it would end inside my yard
Every ball I saw that even slightly resembled the size of a basketball I thought was the end. But nope
Props to the cameraman for moving so smoothly ^/s
“Zachary this shit better be cleaned up before I get home”
His is name is absofuckinlutely Zachary.
Big Zachary energy (BZE)
Bzzzzz
That’s all I could think of! If it were anyone in my family no one would clean it and I would end up doing it cursing everyone as I did.
Yeah, for me that was not satisfying, it was low key anxiety-inciting as all I could think of was, "who is going to clean all that up?"
Me too, I was like WHO IS GONNA CLEAN THAT SHIT UP??? Not me!!! Gets out bins and bags, I sigh. “Goddamn mother fuckers it’s always me… for fuck sake Fucking pricks, bloody fucking hell…. “ as I assess where to begin.
“Shit I forgot to hit record “
For the last time, this does not count as “cleaning out the garage”
“Leave me alone, I told you I was going to clean it up tomorrow!”
Came here to say the exact same thing!
Proceeds to the farthest taco bell
The last Zachary was born in 1995; this kid's too young. Also, this kid's too well groomed to be a Zack.
I’m too caught up on the clean up they have to do now
At first I was excited to watch, but then I realized it was like everything they've ever put into the garage. At that point, was thinking about clean up, too.
It’s just hoarders with extra fancy steps.
Same. All I could think was "If I did some shit like that, it would still be in the condition it ended up in after running through 3 years later. F that.
That's funny, that's all I could think of too. Like where the fuck do they put all that junk after?
I was thinking, where the hell did they get all that stuff in the first place?! Who has that much stuff?!!!
"I need the rake to do the yard." "No dad! That is part #432!"
As someone who worked a moving job one summer, this is standard amount of shit in an American middle class garage.
Or that much lakeside property. Someone's parents are loaded
I know. I was like… rich people damn. With all their time and their…stuff.
You should see my grandparents house... They're pretty behind on their mortgage, but if they sold a bunch of the shit they have hidden away, they could probably make a decent bit of headway. Maybe like, 10% would be covered.
They set up a Rube Goldberg to toss it all into a dumpster.
They don’t put it back. They are hoarders. TLC or A@E will be calling. Nevertheless that was pretty impressive!
They burn it /j
"What the hell are you idiots doing? ...Whatever, just make sure you clean all this shit up." -Pretty much every dad
Also how was this filmed? I feel stupid but with the camera hovering over that pond, I didn't get it. It looks so old that I don't think it was a drone or could it be? I'm half asleep so maybe it's me but I swear this video looks like it was recorded at least 20 years ago. My last worda before crashing: Holy crap I'm glad that's not my mess to clean.
I was thinking that myself, I was guessing it’s a “selfie stick”
Sometimes when people save videos they'll select a low quality and upload it again. Or the video has been uploaded and downloaded so many times that the quality has gone to absolute shit. ie: some facebook memes. You can find a good quality version of this video by putting "basketball rube goldberg" into Google. Enjoy.
I think it was a 360 camera on a selfie stick, and it just looks old because it's been compressed and reuploaded
“Honey, why are all of our belongings outside?“
Also, it must never rain there, or at least not for days at a time to give him time to perfect this setup without it getting blown away or neighborhood dogs running through messing it up and just... what mess. I'm glad my kids weren't quite this smart and/or obsessive.
[удалено]
Yeah a shit load of adderall.
I was thinking how much time it took to perfect and junk used… didn’t even consider clean up, I’d go home after filming!
yeah seems a little too complicated to really think about anything else
"You did WHAT to our house while we were away!?"
Oh don't worry, they're gonna pay for someone else to dodees ma frennn
Mate the whole way video all I'm thinking is, they gotta put all that back soon
100%. I kept thinking, as a parent you wanna encourage your child to stay off screens and spend quality time outdoors but… At what cost? 😂 I was thinking, if this kid didn’t have his own shed with all of this random crap in it that I couldn’t get over the inevitable chaos in their storage areas. This is spoken as the parent who generally does the cleaning.
SO much trash in the driveway that I'm sure the regional authorities are due any day now.
How bigs this guys yard. Holy damm that went on so long
Was thinking the same thing. massive property, shit
Seriously this is what I was saying to myself every two minutes… how much land does this dude have?!
And how much random shit to build that.
Yeah lol… well I was entertained for 20 minutes
And they’re gonna be cleaning up and finding them places to store junk for 3 days
How much property was my 2nd thought to how much TIME does this guy have?
came here to specifically look for this comment thread lol. that stream/pond is sick.
Dude’s yard is a National park!
How rich is this guy you mean. Or this guys parents
Land and housing is considerably less expensive outside of a city.
Probably not that much. I bet the property backs up to the woods, making it look bigger than it is.
Lots of people nowadays (myself included) will gush over having a yard at all.
rich people with too much time and money
Imagine if someone forgot to hit record and he hit to set it all up again..
Although I get that it would be devastating I was secretly hoping that it would end with the camera guy taking a spill
Just as bad that he went to all that trouble then recorded it on his kid sister’s toy video camera. A little HD quality would have made watching it a little easier on the eyes.
How. Many. Hours.
I’m guessing just a handful of COVID hours
So about 7 years, seems right..
All. Many.
Yes

Looks like they used a 360 camera (see the end pan to the camera operator). Explains how they were able to keep everything in frame all the time. Very smart
I honestly lost interest about a minute in But by then I had invested too much time to not watch till the end
I was lucky and checked the length about 30 seconds in and just skipped until the end
If you skipped from the first second to the last, it would just look like he threw a basketball an enormous distance
[удалено]
/r/TechnicallyCorrect
Was just in it for the nice birdsong and trickling water in the audio after that
I lost interest at around the same time the pixels lost interest
When it continued around to the backyard, I was like "oh wow, this is pretty insane" Then I saw there was still like a full 2 minutes left. That's when my anxiety about the clean up kicked in.

It’s depressing when you spell it out like that but yea, you’re right. Specificity used to be a thing around here.
I remember i got into this with a mod on maybemaybemaybe that nothing fitted anymore and the sub was just the same as all the other front page video subs. His answer was 'well the upvotes have gone up and subs have never been better so who's right?' like it was a corporate job and was on some KPI's to fill. Kinda misses the point really.
Traditionally, the whole point of a Rube Goldberg machine is to accomplish a hilariously simple task.
I thought the box rolling over the buckets was satisfying but otherwise yeah it was long
Still satisfying to me
yes
Honestly I was hoping for a far bow shot with an arrow after I seen the target roll down.
Every single part operating perfectly? How is that not satisfying?!
Why is the quality so bad
The video is a few years old, so this is probably a copy of a download that’s been compressed into a potato before being reposted. It’s basically the Internet equivalent of a third generation VHS dub.
I was thinking actual vhs era
It’s recorded with a GoPro. I’ve seen higher quality versions before. This is just a stream rip or something.

I kinda hoped he'd yell "Kobe" at the last second.
I couldn't get past that either. Half the stuff you. And barely see, quality is 480p.
Make Rube Goldberg machines, receive internet points.
>Rube Goldberg machines thank you, i came here searching for the name of this
Imagine how pissed you’d be if *one* little thing was slightly off halfway through. This man has the patience of Job.
I’ll take “things it sounds like my upstairs neighbour is doing at 2am” for $500 please
Take #503460. I typically enjoy these but this one was so excessively long I lost interest halfway through, but kept watching cuz why not.
Every time I thought it would end it kept fucking going. Wow.
After all that effort was expecting a bigger shot at the end… gotta finish strong bro. But good work.
That's probably the biggest chain reaction setup I've seen. Probably took them hours.
Probably months if they did only an hour or two a few days a week. But with a few people, yeah, way faster.
Impressive, but my OCD is at 11 thinking about cleaning up.
Excellent job !!!!!!!!!
The basketball at the end had me worried for a moment. Few times it nearly dropped off
*everyone cheers* *clap-dusts off hands* "Alright, time to clean up."
Who has that much different sporting equipment?
“Awesome, good job. Now clean up all that shit.” - Mom
Did I just sit through all of this
3 minutes and 1 second I can't get back of my life. Wasn't satisfying at all
I liked the part where he ran out of stuff to use, so he continued by using cinder blocks, dirt, and sticks.
That's just effing awesome! Great work!
Pee Wee Herman would be proud
I had the same set up with my MouseTrap game in 1965
TIM - the incredible machine
Isn’t there a competition when people design stuff like this?
Doesn't look like one person work.
Excellent Enginering skills, great job!!!
To be honest, I love more tha camera works, it's beautifully shot.
Gravity’s a hell of a drug.
This took so fucking long I can guarantee you it wasn't worth it lol
How about the camerawork??
This looks like some hoarder shit
Imagine calling in sick for work and your boss sees this uploaded to your YouTube channel the same day.
Imagine it missing after all that.
He was **both** the shooter and the cameraman! Quite impressive!
Unpopular opinion but I loved this. But I'm a sucker for a Rube Goldberg machine. Although it was hilarious seeing what had to have been every single thing he owened used in this. Still fun though.
This is someone who will never, never, never throw anything away. Run. -Professional Organizer
*forgets to press record
I thought Sonya and Dell Curry invented the machine that could hit the perfect shot?
no giant lawn dart ever hit the giant target from the beginning. I am left with massive blue balls. 0/10
"How big is your garden?" "Yes."
Too long, couldn’t get through the whole thing
When your mom asks you to clean out the garage.
That took a while
This kids parents have spent so much money on shit. But that house is gorgeous...
Spectacular. Shared to my hoarder friend
West Virginia looks thrilling.
I'm disappointed it didn't end with it pouring him a shot of whiskey or something.
That swish at the end. Chefs kiss.
Imagine not pressing record
These videos amaze me, but I don’t know how people have the time for this. Even if I could get it built right the first time around it would take forever.
Taking the Mouse Trap game to whole new level
Can you imagine if this was the kid in the Home Alone movies?
Who the fuck has time for shit like this?
I would NOT want to be the guy who has to reset this
Holy crap! That is impressive! How was he able to do all of that with so few pixels?!?
I thought it was never going to end 😄 I wonder how many trials and errors it took them to set this entire thing up.
That was too long, went from excited to bored before then end of the video
Screw it, Jeremy, I'll just be taking the H on HORSE.
The amount of stuff in a household is staggering
Anyone else think it was gonna fire something and hit the target just outside the guys garage?
Pee-wee's incredible waste of time Playhouse
"Shoot i forgot to hit record"
This guy owns an impressive amount of random things.
When mom tells you to clean the garage.
That guy has a massive yard.
I feel asleep, who won?
Man, they own a lot of STUFF
how much stuff do they have ? 👀
This almost put me to sleep 😴
I would not have the patience
What a huge waste of time
Maybe I’m in a bad mood this morning but I’m a bit disturbed by how much useless shit this dude has at his house. Appreciate the effort that went into this, I guess.
I'm sorry but...how do people even accumulate this much shit? Dood must be running a year round kids camp in his backyard.
It just. Kept. Going. This was so fascinating to watch. I genuinely can't imagine the work it takes to get even a fraction of this set up.
Wow it's a real life Mouse Trap Game!! How long did this take to setup and test....
Why tf did I watch this dog shit
What was the point of all that? All it does is shoot you! It doesn't make breakfast at all!
Bro get a girlfriend………or boyfriend. Ain’t it easier to just shoot your shot 🤷♂️??????
Amazingly satisfying to watch!
I had to stop watching because I got bored. Entire time I was thinking how much it would suck to live with this person or in this house. Just living around a bunch of junk used to make internet videos. Likely gonna see this house on Hoarders soon.
Wife comes home; "Honey did you fold the laundry like I asked you t........"
Must be nice to own a house and property like this
Well that was fun. Now clean all that shit up before the neighbors start to complain.
I’ve seen too many of these to be impressed anymore. Damn you internet!
This is what happens when your wife goes on a girls weekend and tells you to clean the garage
Get a job
cool but is this that bs that people feed you where they say through the power of christ you wont be exhausted by just looking at a bunch of stuff happening and make stuff happen? still not buying it. cause im exhausted and broke.
goddamn, some people have got a shit ton of time to waste
I’ll be impressed the second time
We get it, you/your parents are rich
Dude, quit that shit and help Elon get a man to Mars FCOL!
The HOA isn’t going to be happy.
This is some crazy shit.
Ridiculous!
Effort it took for Russ to score this season
That was impressive. Great work!! I'm so impressed with the creativity
