This was the centrifuge through which they distilled the kids worth giving a shit about.
Yes, I know centrifuges don’t distill. No, I will not be making any modifications. And, if you asked in your heart, you were probably the chaff spun aside by the Iron Dais of Judgment.

Wo wo wo wo! Who is the rock in the shoe that dislikes this mastapizza?
Mums will not let their kids on it. Dads will spun it faster to teach their kids about conservation of momentum.
As a dad I once spun it so fast I made a kid throw up. It was awesome.
I did that to my own son. He barfed in the car and I learned my lesson.
That you should have spun faster so the food would be pushed further down into him as he flew through the air?
In my home village we have a much safer and much better version of it:
You can accelerate yourself by just pulling at the plate in the middle, meaning that everyone can have fun and you can probably get much higher speeds.
Back in my day, we walked for miles uphill in the snow to school, we rode the unprotected meatspin, broke all of our bones, and then we walked for miles uphill back home. Kids these days are so spoiled and pampered!!!
Exactly you can use the railing to hang on the outside. Greater speed and much more fun.
Meh, the constant threat of being thrown violently out into oblivion was most of the fun!
„Safer“ until you get flung against the metal bar before flying off. Because to get it up to speed you have to stand up.
Once the children are a bit bigger they don’t have to stand up to spin it. For smaller children its true.
A core memory of mine is getting flung off of one of these things because of the centrifugal force, falling on my back, and being unable to breathe for like 20-30 seconds … until I screamed at the top of my lungs, and things slowly returned to normal, while the teacher just went: oh you’re fine, don’t be a baby. I was 6.

Meatspin?
The nighmares, they’re coming back
Are they comin’ right round?
Is that the Russian lathe video?
The moped plus roundabout was a thing a while back; maybe that’s why they disappeared?
Bosnian space program training.
sadly modern adults are concerned about “safety” and “injuries”
Pffft. 70s Scotland says ‘hold my beer’.
We had a Witches Hat. Far bigger than the one in this video and we went a lot quicker and with a lot more perturbation.
We had those in place in the US too.
Don’t swing on that one, Matt threw up on it.
This was the best one.
Broken bones was just an indication that you gotta get good.
If no adult gave a shit, why don’t we see them anymore?
Idk theres a car dealership that has a 2 level version of this. The middle part is raised and spins with the base. Its not as wide as the old ones, but it seems just as dangerous.
Then theres the single person versions that works off of like angled centrifugal force? Idk. It spins and spins just from body weight. They can start it on their own, but I’ve had random kids ask me to help them stop, cause they couldn’t do it themselves. I see variations of these in most newer playgrounds. Some have you sitting, some standing. Many parents still dont give a shit.
My kindergarten had a much cruder and unsafe version of this. My
systemsister has a scar on her forehead from the time she fell off of it and an open ended pipe in the structure hit her. We went absolutely wild spinning that thing.I hope your
system is doing butter thesis dames.sister is doing better these days.Poetry.
my friend’s 6 year old sister actually broke her leg on one of these back in the day
This is the way
My school had one of those. One day we got the idea to tie one of the kids to it around his waist and make him run around to spin it. I still remember our teacher asking “where’s Willy?” once recess was over, then looking out the window to see him desperately trying to untie himself.
There are 3 nearby, including one at a super crowded park. I think one is getting torn out though.
