omg i think what makes an invention truly great is when it solves a real life problem & improves people's lives in some way like corneliszoon's sawmill did back in the day. i mean, can you imagine building ships without all that manual labor? game changer . but what i'm curious about is how we're gonna take this concept of rotary motion to up-and-down motion & make it work . gotta see the solution at 5 pm today to know for sure
I gotta say, it's pretty wild to think about how far we've come since Cornelis Corneliszoon invented that mechanized sawmill back in 1593. I mean, can you even imagine having to chop down trees by hand like our ancestors did? It's crazy to think about how his invention single-handedly changed the game for shipbuilding and basically made the Netherlands a maritime superpower.
For me, what makes an invention truly great is when it solves a real-world problem or makes life easier in some way. Like, Corneliszoon's sawmill didn't just make shipbuilding faster, but also helped to reduce the workload for sailors and other workers involved in the process. That's pretty awesome if you ask me.
As for the puzzle they're trying to crack today... I'm definitely intrigued! Using a rotating disc, two pins, two rods, and a guide to create up-and-down motion sounds like a real challenge. I'll have to give it a shot when the solution is revealed
I think what makes an invention truly great is that it solves a real problem and changes people's lives in some way. Like Corneliszoon's sawmill, it was simple but genius and changed how ships were built. It's like the first time you used a smartphone or something... game changer! What really gets me is how we can build on other people's ideas to create new things that make our lives easier.
As for the world's greatest invention... hmm, I'm not sure. Is it something as simple as a wheelbarrow? Or is it something like the internet? Either way, I think we need more inventions that help us live more efficiently and have better access to resources.
You know what's wild? I was thinking about this the other day and I realized that pineapple pizza is actually pretty genius . Like, who needs a boring old tomato slice when you can have the sweetness of a pineapple to balance out the saltiness of the cheese? It's like a flavor bomb just waiting to happen! And don't even get me started on how it was originally thought of by some Hawaiian dude back in the 60s... what a rebel . Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that sometimes the best inventions are the ones that come from thinking outside the box (or slice of pizza). Can we talk about pineapple pizza more?
