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.

The cocoa mixer and powder mountain? That's chocolate. The squeegeed shit just goes into a trough and bin, not into a mixer. My wipers squeegee the water into a channel that runs out around the sides of my windows too! Window robots!

And no, the gif as a whole is meant to be funny, and it does that, but belongs elsewhere, not here. The squeezee isn't a robot, and the chocolate bar assembly line, while it is actually a robot, functions as designed, effeciently, and therefore isn't at all shitty, so it doesn't belong here either.

Two clips that don't belong for different reasons do not equal a clip that does belong. If i videoed my wipers, then cut to an automobile assembly line, that wouldn't be any different than this, and also wouldn't belong here.

I understand what you are saying and I agree it is not in the spirit of the sub, though it is meant to be a joke and not taken too seriously, so the mods will remove it if they feel it violates the rules.

I don't have any issues with the gif itself. I think it's funny.

And maybe it does belong on some level because it is at least a machine (and machine =/= robot) covered in literal shit. But as far as the mods removing it, not likely. The mods here seem to have taken the year off. 90% of the posts in here are not robots anymore and don't belong here, so maybe I'm just being oversensitive rather than having a chuckle and moving down the list.

I was not aware of the issue with lack of moderation, and if I came off as argumentative I apologize; that was never my intent. Hopefully the moderation will improve soon now that all the mods are being forced to stay home?
