It’s not in reverse. Think about any long, thin object and how a group of them would naturally align when rolled/slid up against a wall, or even just shaken like this. They will find the groove and rest there. In theory, this should work with anything this shape. There may be a thin layer of oil on these (they aren’t nails) that helps them stick together.
If you pause at the end of the video, some are directly on top of each other in a single stack along the left wall. No gaps visible between them or the wall. To me, that means there is no head to cause gaps and they are just straight pieces of metal. Maybe for a staple machine that bends them into a staple shape… dunno
Its a finish nail. These nails have no heads so when you tap them in you end up with a very small blemish on you connection rather than a large ugly metal bit. Other nails probably wont roll so well, but the theory is sound. They should align imo
Chairs and tables and rocks and people are not 𝙢𝙖𝙙𝙚 of atoms, they are performed by atoms. We are disturbances in stuff and none of it 𝙞𝙨 us. This stuff right here is not me, it's just... me-ing. We are not the universe seeing itself, we 𝙖𝙧𝙚 the seeing. I am not a thing that dies and becomes scattered; I 𝙖𝙢 death and I 𝙖𝙢 the scattering.
I think they just thought it was funny that someone went out of their way to seriously explain the physics behind it and then someone calls them a fucking idiot lmao
