I’ve seen this machine, doesn’t make much sense as a still image. Too lazy to look up a gif or video so i’m just leaving this one star review.
The worst (most profound) part about this art piece is that it runs on electric servos, not hydraulic cylinders. It doesn’t actually even need the hydraulic fluid, it’s just programmed to “think” that it does.
Am I the only one having an aneurysm trying to read this meme text? I haven’t had coffee yet so I could just be firing on 1.75 cylinders
Yeah, it’s fucked.
What is this machine?
It’s an art installation. The idea is that the machine slowly leaks hydraulic fluid. So it works to squeegee it back up towards its base, so it can remain operational.
At first, it was a cute little art installation. The machine worked well and barely leaked. It would take time in between scoops to dance for the crowd or rest. But over time, as the machine aged and the leaks got worse, it had to shift more and more towards scooping up the hydraulic fluid. It changed from a cute dancing robot to a haunting metaphor. It desperately worked to keep the fluid contained, all the way up to the point that it broke down.
When it finally broke down, it was revealed that it ran on electric stepper motors, and didn’t even need the hydraulic fluid.
It’s interesting how often I see memes here that require knowing so much non-obvious context to understand.
Anyway, that sounds like a really cool art installation. Anyone know the name of it?
Yeah, it was called Can’t Help Myself.
It’s an art installation. I don’t remember the exact details, but it’s something like it’s constantly leaking red lubricant and is programmed to try to scoop it up to survive a little longer.

This text doesn’t make sense, right?
So that’s what trump’s ketchup-flinging room looks like
Ketchup flinging room?
The room where he flings ketchup. I don’t see why clarification is needed.
