I decided to combine all my Stupid/Satirical Shorts like this into a single playlist, so go check them out if you are interested: kzfaq.info/sun/PLOEAbE8LkxoDfEE1fb9sVY-BLMQWDD-bK

That seems much easier than getting like a cupholder or something

Much like me in university, it is held up by stress.

dude I died every time you said "tense-gritty"

I like how this doesnt actually help you grab your drink

“Tense-gritty???” you’re missing a syllable there, bud.

Thanks for the drink

“The burden of never being good enough.” Damn that’s a LOT that that table can hold

Finally a simple solution to one of life’s toughest tasks

The way you pronounce "tensegrity" as "tense gritty" is killing me

"Tense griddy"

"reaching for your drink can be such a pain, so I made a coaster that sits 4 inches above the table and wobbles"

Tense gritty 😩

This man accomplished none of what he set out to do: 1. Grab his drink easier? No 2. Test the max load of his table thing? Again no everything just fell over But he does have one dope ass relatively useless mini table now.

“Tensgrity” *sigh* *goes to comments*

Bro really pour his water on the camera for us. Thank you for the drink!

Pouring the water out on the camera at the end had me dying.

*Proceeds to put us in the ocean*

Gesicki really does have a griddy that makes me tense. 😂

man i wish i could file that fast

Pretty sure it's pronounced ten-SEH-griddy

This is going to revolutionize the ‘Reaching For Your Drink’ industry. Also that camera drinking was not what I was expecting.

“Reaching for a drink can be such a pain, which is why I put the drink high up on an unstable platform where it can be knocked over in at least four distinct ways. Now reaching for it is the least of your concerns!”

"tense-gritty" 💀💀💀💀💀 hit the tense gritty

Thank you! I just sold my entire table so that i can buy this thing!

“Tense griddy” 💀

This is basically how bicycle wheels work too

uuuuuuu the transition for the loop 👌

would love a full vid on whats all needed as well as dimensions. Cool looking project for wood shop

Nobody is talking about ”the burden of never being good enough” that shit was gold

fun fact: not technically true tensegritty, but close enough. really cool video!

The water ending literally hurt my eyes, my brain didn't know what was going on, I needed to blink so badly.

'your gritty's tense? Just massage them, grandma'

Tampa bay rays stadium roof is held up this way

That small piece of string was fighting for its life

Nice. I would like to suggest that using a string that holds knots well but isn’t too stretchy (maybe jute twine) paired with good adjustable knots (maybe a 2 loop prussik for each corner string) should solve the stability issue to the point you could stack cans to the ceiling.

Mans really called it the tense griddy💀

No matter how much tension those strings can hold, there is still a full force of compression on the wood supporting the string. This can still only hold as much as the wood could, but with a design that weakens the wood structure and adds more points of complexity for problems to develop along. Tension forces are great for connecting two sturdy masses when you want lighter weight, or more flexibility, but it can never be a standalone support. Bike tires are held in place by the tension in the spokes, which makes them far lighter, however the center of the tires where the spokes connect and the outer rim are still both feeling the full force of the bikes weight. Long story short, the design isn't any less limited by the strength of wood, and the strings don't make it more effective at almost anything.

How does this help me with reaching for a drink 😭😭

When your drink hits the tense griddy

the real thing under stress here is me hearing you saying goddamn "tense-griddy" *insert queen from deltarune hitting the griddy*

Great vid

*Insert mark rober’s build montage music *

The beginning of this video is like those ads that showcase a person just failing at life itself.

Loved it. Have a such table.

The Miami dolphin joke was worth a sub

one day i was just thinking about how this could be possible... then i found this video.

Yeah I can't just move my hand like half a meter to get my drink but I can move my entire body and make a whole contraption

Thank you for the drink, I really needed that

Mike Gesicke's griddy physically made me recoil

I feel like I can taste that water. Some thing about it just seems so familiar and really good.

Little did we know, this man was just hitting the tensest griddy known to man, and had to pun it in order to cope with its magnitude of intensity.

lol right when i scrolled down to this video i was leaning forwards to grab my eggnog

I made on in 7th grade for a stem class and my teacher said that we could make it out of whatever we want so I went the full mile and built the top out of wood and the frame out of tube steel and welds and I used actual chain for the tension part. It ended holding up to 700 lbs

It worked exactly how I thought It would work.. I feel so smart now! 😎

the saw sounding like the "gawd damn" meme sfx

Ive seen enough of these tables being built to watch this whole clip but gg on accomplishing it anyways

Best part of the video is at the end when he pours it on the floor !🤣

That noise at the end was funny

Why are you saying it like "tense-gritty"? It's "tens-egrity".

You literally explained how it works and my brain still hurts looking at it

Lmao the algorithm had a field day showing me this video. I’m a dolphins fan and a guy who likes engineering videos

That’s cool

I love these so much. I have a 3d printrler, so I've made at least 10 for my family

I was going to subscribed but realized i already am thanks past self

Loved it, have a such table at home.

Great to see you using ideas from the discord server

I feel like you could increase the load capacity if you adjusted the corner screws while loading to account for the slack...

he hittin that tensegriddy

It lost stability due to the elastic stretching of the middle string and thus allowed all 4 corners strings to become compressed

I wonder if something elastic would be better for the 4 stability ones. That way they could compress and still be pulling with a bit of tension

Fun Fact - Mike Gesiki Grew up in my town and went to my high school

Can't believe it he hit the tensegriddy

I love how he just pours water on his camera at the end lol

Incredibly useful

The most jaw dropping moment in this is that anyone in the right mind would buy Bubly

This would make a great desk lamp or something.

“Tense griddy” 😭

That looks really cool to make but I would be way too afraid to actually use a tensegrity table with drinks because with my luck it will unbalance itself and I'll have a huge mess to clean up.

I finally understand this thing

I would buy this.

The middle stringholds it all up and the ones on the corner stop it from tipping

The way he dissed my boy gesicki

What I do love about Americans is they find the most unusual way to pronounce words and don’t care one bit if it sounds stupid.

Tense griddy Stress be right footin left footin

I've always wanted to make one of these out of plate still and log chains and have it as a table in a workshop

That slurp at the end 😂

I physically recoiled when he poured water all over the camera

i saw someone 3d print that and call it a floating table! cool to know what it actually is

that spindrift is a classic

the cans falling sounded like pins falling in bowling

You can also support it with 2 strings but is a bit unstable

Damn the Mike Gesicki thing caught me off guard

1: "what's that?" 2: "my grandma's ashes" 1: *cuts rope* 2: 😧

my favorite new dance the "tense griddy"

Try with weights instead of super high & light cans and youll probably test the weight better than the stability. i feel like the higher weights would keep it tense

I am never putting a drink on that. That thing looks like a mini earthquake

My new night table be like…

“The not at all useful but totally fun build” would be a much more appropriate title

why can we not sleep on it? just add stronger ropes and make it more rectangular. if rengtangles dont work then keep it as a square but a big one
