@chienfou sadly that wouldn’t work. You’d break the plastic before you could put enough torque on it. Or maybe spin it fast enough to travel back in time!
5.2x10^91 years?
Considering the age of the universe is about 1.4x10^10 years, I suspect that the warranty on the constituent electrons, protons and neutrons will run out long before then. Not to mention the sun, the molecular bonds in the plastic and yes, the batteries.
But seriously cool project. Some of the gear assemblies were ingenious. I’m in love with that 140/141 gear differential planetary.
@Kidsandliz@mehcuda67 Apparently yes. That is, if the basic premise of everything I hold to be true is correct. What the hell am I saying?!? I learned it at Meh - of course it’s true!!!
@Kidsandliz@mehcuda67 Hmm. That makes sense. If a certain amount of something is good, then it stands to reason that more of that thing must be better. I’ll start clearing out room in my freezer right away.
@mehcuda67@shahnm you lilely better hurry as some of them are old enough (if bought the last time meh sold batteries) that they are probably half dead of old age.
@2many2no@mehcuda67@shahnm zero Kalvin might be better. I guess you will have use use what you can. Oh wait. Is that freezer going to be full of covid vaccinations? Don’t want the batteries deciding to be first in line.
@2many2no@mehcuda67@shahnm On a more serious note cool that your company will be dealing with this. Don’t be bad and sneak 2 doses out for yourself and another couple for your favorite batteries.
@Kidsandliz@mehcuda67@shahnm It’ll be allocated. Our job is to guard it and make sure it goes where intended. My guess is front-line workers and other high risk individuals.
@2many2no@Kidsandliz@mehcuda67 Can we please get back onto a more serious and socially relevant topic? We were talking about chilling the living fuck about batteries. This other shit is off topic… The nerve of some people!
@Kyeh
This is a MOC from an AFOL. All of the parts are from LEGO sets, but I don’t imagine there is a market for a “Spin the Viking once a Googol Coffee Table Piece” set. That said, I hadn’t seen this channel. Looks really cool, and what he did in some of the setups is extremely impressive. Final point, LEGO elements are all formulaic…the geometry is perfect for people to build just about anything given enough time and understanding of the shapes of various elements. One of the reasons I love the stuff so much.
@kykazaa Thanks - yes, after I wrote that I realized that “set” wasn’t really correct; I meant that I hadn’t seen pieces that could be used that way, to make a kind of engine. It’s incredibly impressive!
Why do I want to spin the Viking and watch the initial shaft spin VERY VERY fast!

@mehcuda67 Ahh but if the sun ran out then the batteries might still be going due to the big deep freeze…Right @shahnm ?
@Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 Apparently yes. That is, if the basic premise of everything I hold to be true is correct. What the hell am I saying?!? I learned it at Meh - of course it’s true!!!
@mehcuda67 @shahnm Just a thought. Perhaps you should be keeping your batteries in the freezer and not the fridge?
@Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 Hmm. That makes sense. If a certain amount of something is good, then it stands to reason that more of that thing must be better. I’ll start clearing out room in my freezer right away.
@mehcuda67 @shahnm you lilely better hurry as some of them are old enough (if bought the last time meh sold batteries) that they are probably half dead of old age.
@Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 @shahnm We just got an ultrafreezer at work. It’s set at -94F. Do you think that would work?
@2many2no @mehcuda67 @shahnm zero Kalvin might be better. I guess you will have use use what you can. Oh wait. Is that freezer going to be full of covid vaccinations? Don’t want the batteries deciding to be first in line.
@Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 @shahnm That’s what we’re waiting for. They tell us it should be within the next 2 weeks.
@2many2no @Kidsandliz @shahnm So essentially they’re telling you to just chill?
@2many2no @Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 @shahnm
did you mean this guy
or this one?
Or maybe this one?
sorry, I couldn’t help myself…
@2many2no @chienfou @mehcuda67 @shahnm
Absolute zero humor with those (snicker)

I can hardly wait…

@2many2no @mehcuda67 @shahnm While not the most efficient use of space - they look comfy here
@2many2no @Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 Aww - look how happy they are…! Except the one on the left. That one is going to need a stern talking to.
@2many2no @chienfou @Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 @shahnm
nah, you have to

@2many2no @Cerridwyn @chienfou @Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 @shahnm I love that I know what that stands for. One of my favorite acronyms.
@2many2no @Cerridwyn @chienfou @Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 @mike808
Mike, the diversity in your photo just warms my cockles - er… chills my batteries!
@2many2no @Cerridwyn @chienfou @Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 @PooltoyWolf That acronym is up there with FUBAR, GOMER, and TOBASH…
@2many2no @Cerridwyn @chienfou @Kidsandliz @mehcuda67 @mike808
Actually Mike, as I look at that photo longer, I’m thinking that that is exactly what a battery basketball team would look like…
Cool he had a clock near the beginning of all of that. I was waiting for some of the plastic to melt.
This is one of my favorite YouTube Channels. Every one of his videos is massively entertaining.
@Kykazaa Have you watched this? I didn’t know Lego made these kinds of sets too. (There’s a lot I don’t know about Lego.)
