They say ‘love is like a good cake. You never know when it’s coming, but you’d better eat it when it does!’ Well, New Zealand-born Joseph Herscher has created an absurdly complex machine to ensure he gets a perfectly timed piece of cake every time!
The device, which is known as a Rube Goldberg machine (after the man who first came up with the concept) includes a hammer, melting butter, a falling laptop and to top it all, a baby! The sole purpose of this captivating contraption is to bring him the cake just as he completes his dinner!
Don’t believe us? See for yourself!
The project took Herscher three months to complete with 90% of the time spent on trial and error, reports The Guardian. Here’s what Herscher had to say about The Cake Server-
“I hate waiting for dessert, so here’s a Rube Goldberg machine to streamline dinnertime. It lets me keep eating, with no break before cake. It’s my most complex yet and took 3 months to make so I hope you enjoy it!” says Joseph.
The man clearly looks up to cartoonist Rube Goldberg whose machines are made from a series of imaginative engineering marvels. The best part is that they’re also well-known for being overly complex in comparison to the task achieved.
Joseph certainly manages to have his cake and eat it too!
