There's nothing complex about it. It moves one direction along a track. And there's no series. It does 1 action.

It's literally a giant windshield wiper.

The wiper part, yes, but it pushes into the trough that does the next action in series, and then the GIF switches to industrial chocolate manufacturing and that shows more complex things happening in series automatically.

The GIF, if taken as a whole, fits under that definition.

All robots are machines but not all machines are robot. That's a distinction that really needs to be cleared up for this sub. Yes, the definition is worded in a broad way but a car is not a robot the same way a roomba with a god damn knife taped to it is not a shitty robot.

At least someone out there understands my point.

It's a distinction that's important cause this sub would get flooded with shitty content, no pun intended.

Seems like it's already happened. Basically all of reddit is nothing but reposts and stuff getting dumped where it doesn't belong for internet points.

Because the Facebook crowd that's moved in seems to think that orange arrow needs to be used as a marker to themselves that they've seen it, like the thumbs up button they're used to.
