A Delightfully Lo-Fi Method of Unloading Kegs

Sometimes the simple way is best.

Ask any techno-savvy individual how best to complete a straightforward but difficult task, like moving a bunch of heavy weights, and you're liable to get an answer involved robots or anti-gravity fields or some other elaborate machine. This is the future after all, isn't it?

But for all our sci-fi dreams of sparkling Goldbergian solutions to life's little problems, there's an equal but opposite lo-fi solution. And that—not the Homer-drooling-GIF quality of all that Irish beer being sloshed about—is what makes this video so great. It's a great reminder that, as new app and gadget releases march on and on, sometimes the simple way is best.
