The fidget-spinning tribute video begins with Kaplamino simply dropping a marble on a slightly slanted table. Then, gravity takes hold. Thanks to Kaplamino’s meticulous design and planning, the marbles are able to move up and down the table with ease and the fidget spinners are consistently used in ingenious ways in order to set off chain reactions that keep the marbles moving in unexpected ways. And in a hilarious and unexpected twist, the video also doubles as a meta-commentary on the social irrelevance of fidget spinners, as the Rube Goldberg machine ends by tossing one of the spinners right into the garbage where it now belongs. The video has instantly become a hit online, as nearly half a million people have already watched the video just three days after it was uploaded. Perhaps it will even inspire a few people to play with their old spinners for a bit before realizing how boring and useless they are and following the video’s lead by tossing them into the trash.
