This machine allows anyone to work for minimum wage for as long as they like. Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds, for a total of $7.25 per hour. This corresponds to minimum wage for a person in New York. This piece is brilliant on multiple levels, particularly as social commentary. Without a doubt, most people who started operating the machine for fun would quickly grow disheartened and stop when realizing just how little they’re earning by turning this mindless crank. A person would then conceivably realize that this is what nearly two million people in the United States do every day…at much harder jobs than turning a crank. This turns the piece into a simple, yet effective argument for raising the minimum wage.

Imagine being a Polish citizen and you hear the American president say he’s here to fuck and he’s not leaving

The Nintendo Switch Online NES version of Super Mario Bros. 3 contains a visual glitch in the first fortress of World 3. If Mario runs while passing between the second and third door inside the fortress, the background will briefly shift and blur in a manner not possible on original NES hardware.
