I am both confused and disturbed. What the hell is this thing!?

At first I thought it was a Lieutenant Dan type person, but now i'm thinking it is more like the (Big Dog)[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNZPRsrwumQ]

[–]vacant-ginger 7 points8 points ago

"Lieutenant Dan type person" Oh gosh, I almost choked on my breakfast. I didn't know we were allowed to use characters from Forest Gump to describe handicapped people (or in this case....whatever that is)

[–]Resinball 4 points5 points ago

It's a lot like that. I can't remember the video and I don't think I could find it easily but from what I remember well...it's pretty much just an ostrich robot with hands that pulls wheelchairs...yup.

[–]Deimos56 18 points19 points ago

It's from the Kinetica Art Fair.

Here's a handy link.

[–]barkathoss 3 points4 points ago

[–]slothypoo 9 points10 points ago

I can look at dead mangled babies and nothing, but this terrifies me. I do not understand.

[–]0xdeadc0d3 3 points4 points ago

[–]skakruk 1 point2 points ago

Well just 3 arms with hands jointed doesn't look like a human at all lol...

[–]Solsavage 4 points5 points ago

but the hand themselves look like human ones and move in a manner that is also human like.

[–]trentlott -4 points-3 points ago

You're attemping to justify the shape and movement as something belonging to a living human body.

Which them don't.

[–]skakruk 7 points8 points ago

They don't think it be like it is but it do.

[–]OhhJamers 0 points1 point ago

[–]pornthrowaway8480 1 point2 points ago

Flamingo in an S&M costume?

[–]scrubnpuff 3 points4 points ago

At first, I thought it was two arms. Then I realized it was an ostrich.

[–]TheTwist 2 points3 points ago

Welcome to Silent Hill.

Upon first seeing this my initial reaction was just, "The hell is this?!". However, I am oddly amused now.

[–]Zips 0 points1 point ago

I guess we're just one step away from the full sized Gekkos then?

[–]ticklemeorange 0 points1 point ago

I could not be more confused if I tried.

[–]Todomanna 0 points1 point ago

Hey, that's neat!

[–]EnlightenedConstruct 0 points1 point ago

This just makes me... uncomfortable.

[–]madr0 0 points1 point ago

Nightmares, man.

[–]TheFoxGoesMoo 0 points1 point ago

Dear God. I had to keep looking at it, trying to figure out what the hell that thing is. I can' figure it out...The only think I could come up with is that they gave human hands a brain. Yup.

[–]lordunholy 0 points1 point ago

.......I.....what?

[–]SpaceOdysseus 0 points1 point ago

I'm just curious as to why it's rocking out.

[–]juskajo[S] 2 points3 points ago

Cool. I think I might post it again next month.

[–]justdownvote 1 point2 points ago

I'm going to post it again in an hour. (Who seriously gives a shit about reposts?)

[–]juskajo[S] 1 point2 points ago

It only "destroys" Reddit for entitled crybabies who spend SO MUCH time here that they're actually able to point out what all is a repost and what isn't (not to mention compare it to other sites, which they're also keeping track of).

I found the wacky gif in a forum. I've never seen it around here. I shared it. Lots of people upvoted it, indicating that they, too, have never seen it, or they enjoyed seeing it again. Nobody got hurt.

[–]justdownvote 0 points1 point ago

But people like myself have never seen it. Do you look outside and see cars you've seen before and say, "Eh, pretty impressive but I've seen that one before." It doesn't matter.
