Those robots reminded me of the Chicken Catcher. The promo video was silent, so I added some music for atmosphere. http://youtubedoubler.com/dfwD

Speaking of horrible ways to prepare food with electricity. Back in the soviet days when my uncle was in university they didn't have an electric water heater so they improvised with 2 wires and a razor blade. Apparently it worked well enough if you replaced the fuse with a thicker piece of wire.

Although I could be wrong, air fans made for the home aren't strong enough to hurt you much. The motor and gears inside just don't have the power. When Mythbusters investigated whether ceiling fans can cut your head off, they had to replace the motor with a bigger one to get it to do anything (and still, no decapitation). In that episode, Adam actually grabs a large standing fan blade with his hand and is easily able to stop it. Although I can't find that bit online. The real issue with uncovered fans is, I reckon, the danger of getting things caught up in it, like hair, debris, bugs, etc. Ema Nymton fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Aug 22, 2014 |

Well i managed to put my fingers inside the running fan several times over the years. Turns out it's a good idea to look where you put your hand while reaching for the powerlever when you try to turn of the fan.  The worst that happened was severy bruising with haematoma.

bitcoin bastard posted:Jesus, did they not have cats or children in the 1940s? They still had a near-universal cultural memory of children working in factories and on farms as a matter of course. The idea you'd need to protect kids from something as nonlethal as a fan would be pretty silly when you still had no seatbelts in your all-steel cars.

My parents have one of these, I specifically asked that they will it to me along with the Model A and the guns. Best. Fan. Ever. Ours had 2 of the grille mounts damaged so it was a gamble whether it would stay in place every time you started it.

The meat industry used to use a blast of compressed air to blow the brains out of animal heads until the media and Eric Schlosser particularly, made public the horrible autoimmune reactions migrant workers were having from doing this. It turns out inhaling pig brains all day will eventually make your white blood cells attack your nervous system.

Well that depends on how much you like the taste of human blood and flesh mixed into your food when their CNS damage causes them to hack off a finger into the meat.

I guess I never actually saw it as a kid.
