To fix this->> <<@tronghuynh1202 says : 1:23 THEY FLY NOW>> <<@indeedinteresting2156 says : Strandbeests reminds me of locomotive creations from Ghibli movies.>> <<@Zorabird47 says : And then there was this one who was locked in solitary confinement for his crimes>> <<@greeneggzandcam says : I thought that was Jean Jacket>> <<@TrippUpthemountain says : Straundbaste?>> <<@imadev-js says : i think i am infected now i want to build one ;)>> <<@imadev-js says : wow>> <<@WorldWiz22 says : Remembered the old animation movies I used to watch as kid. Thanks>> <<@alainlalonde says : So he's doing this for his ego and desire to have a legacy. Not to be a cynic, and they look cool for about minute, but in practical terms this seems like a giant waste of time.>> <<@user-dj3nq8ty1o says : 1. Around 14:20, depending on your definition, a lot of life is self-aware/ sentient/ sapient, on our planet. 1.5. Ex: dogs/ cats/ horses/ a bunch of bird species/ orcas/ dolphins/ a bunch of munky and chimp and the like species/ any animal that uses tools/ any animal that makes choices on what to attack or not to attack or hunt/ any animal that can see food and chose to go for it or not regardless of hunger/ any animal that can at least to some extent controle it's "instincts" (but depending on how you look at that everything we do as humans can be seen as instincts, just modified/ adapted due to civilization and society)/ etc...a lot of them we comparire to our own kids, for where they arementally. 2. For the human thing, just think really deeply about why we do things, for example: at the base of it i'am making this comment because I am being social. Social= higher chances of survival/ curiosity/ reproduction/ due to our intelligence. Sharing my opinion/ knowledge= social Asking questions= social/ curiosity Watching this video= curiosity Curiosity= learning (at it's base, useful for survival), and with that curiosity came intelligence, and with that intelligence came "bordome". Etc.... 3. Now i am not saying this is fact or in the correct order, but just some examples of what could be the base reasons. Also in most cases "introverts" are just people that struggle with the social part/ have had enough negative expireances being social/ have enough trouble "fitting in". 4. Also plastic is light sensitive, so it is not a good material for outdoor use, and some of his other materials, will degrade in the the elements.>> <<@TheBamChug says : Jesus....wind energy totally re-routed into smooth walking kinetic energy....as a proof-of-concept that's insane....couldn't we realistically make a 'vehicle' that could be practical? Sometimes I really hate being stupid. Most of the time I hardly notice, but times like these, being dumb really bothers me.>> <<@bradspsychedelium says : I'd buy a 12 legged gas powered beast if it could manage a jog and had a steering wheel.>> <<@zippehhhh says : Could have shown it walking a bit more and stop jibber jabbering as much that would be great 👍🏻>> <<@notnotselves says : StrandBeest ❌ StrawBeast ✅>> <<@SnackPack913 says : This is a beautiful combination of engineering and art>> <<@pr1nt_maskillah says : For some reason I understood "Sand-Beast">> <<@justadudewholikestodraw4324 says : unfortunate that you used a ai song as the outro.>> <<@ghost1591-z4n says : Geometry, physics into living creatures 😮😮>> <<@ghost1591-z4n says : This guy is building the future of anti-gravity air craft>> <<@nicholasjonas2505 says : He made a pneumatic computer. That's crazy>> <<@Ramen-S-y5g says : All Shits And Giggles Until It's Grabs Someone And Devours Them 🥀😭💀>> <<@shanna-leeshaw1942 says : The movement reminds me of howl’s moving castle>> <<@nan_euro says : bro is somekind of ghibli character himself>> <<@rafraf20 says : do you know what funny thing is about this? They are evolving beause there is a creator that modifies them.>> <<@gbierman1 says : Why dond you try to incorporate a flywheel into the drive train, thereby creating a mechanical battery that stores momentum, thus power. It will make it walk e en smoother, but would require strong winds to help start spooling up the flywheel...>> <<@montygrind says : Turning wind into mechanical leverage is in his blood.>> <<@426superbee4 says : IT WILL BE AS STRONG AS THE SKELETON>> <<@426superbee4 says : Don't use tape! USE SUPER GLUE>> <<@JustinSarvis-u1v6j says : So artistic . What robotics should be>> <<@jasonfish2709 says : its crazy to think this is all mechanical>> <<@hellyehthecowsaremad says : ...not stran beest....stranD beest>> <<@PresidentoftheManosquare says : This is old school inventor stuff and that's a reason we all find it fascinating. Just to see humans make and do things>> <<@TannerDenny-i8e says : anyone who has played with octopuses at any significant amount of time knows they're also self aware.>> <<@advikvidhyasagar6392 says : we need an analog horror series on the strandbeest>> <<@laughingstockk says : Did you have to include that corny ass AI-generated outro song? Really couldn't pay a dude $20 on fiver to make something much less obnoxious?>> <<@outofsight-sometimes says : Making working Strandbeests out of biodegradable materials instead of plastic sounds intriguing. Maybe coat them with something like beeswax to increase their lifespans without creating plastic pollution.>> <<@G1ipyyy says : I'm telling y'all this is one step closer to mecha robots>> <<@Simorenarium says : I wonder how he will approach reproduction>> <<@gnarfacekillaa says : There is a game on PC and Xbox called "Last Oasis" that came out during start of covid. You basically ride these Strandbeests the game calls "Walkers" in an apocalyptic setting across different dunes you can only live on so long before they burn up. Meanwhile you have to watch out for crazy humanoid monkeys and real players trying to pirate you as you are them. One of my favorite games. Is a survival pvp game though so its not for the weak. The game will pop off recently up to 1000-2000 players like once a year and then slowly dip until its a steady 50 players but the discord is active.>> <<@thomassmith2624 says : I foresee Strawnbeest will be part of moving platforms on the lunar surface. And they will be powered by Thermo acoustic Sterling engines.>> <<@dancingnature says : 😁that’s how natural selection works in engineering, architecture and computer science. Evolution is natural and even works in biology>> <<@harrisonwoodlief8761 says : Next step: make the Strandbeest sentient>>
