Geo Metro gets shredded in manure spreader

[Jon]

I believe this is a reversed GIF of an egg placed on a shredder, which is itself running backwards.

How can that be running backwards when the teeth are pointed in the correct direction??

If you are referring to the egg in post #10 . We believe that the video was shot when the machine was running in reverse. Then that video was run in reverse to make the machine appear to be running in the forward direction. If you reverse reverse, you are in forward.

That egg was probably hard-boiled.....................................................

It would be interesting to work out the mathematical relationship between the crusher section shapes and the object needed, as here, to allow the object to "float" on top of the sections.

Somewhat OT but egg shapes can evolve based on their environment. The guillemot lays conical eggs that won't roll off the narrow ledges on which their parents place them...

I don't think that's actually reversed. I think that's probably a wooden egg that's smooth and light, and just the right size not to get caught by the teeth, because even running backwards a real egg would break banging agains the sharp edges like that.

Hard boiled???

I love a good reversed GIF mystery. It's like a more sophisticated version of a What's This Tool? thread.

I believe they are not so clever..!.

What? The shredder is not running backwards.
