"why has that strange fella next door been filming his sprinkler for half an hour?"
"I dunno, remember that time he drove around town and filmed all the stop lights?"
"I bet he's with the government."

This channel is now dedicated to appreciation of clever engineering nuances of everyday items, and I'm here for it.

"You can make them just go in circles, like most online arguments." LOL!!!

That screen tilt edit. How do you stay so funny and so informative with every video?

"Something as simple as a water distribution device deserves due diligence."

I know you had fun writing that one

Does anyone else read text as fast as you possibly can to make sure you read it all before it disappears, then just sit there staring at it for the next 10 seconds, because you had plenty of time?

This kind of curiosity about everyday "simple" objects is awesome and educational. I love it!

I once observed a very clever deer use its hoof to halt the motion of the "armature" on one of these sprinklers allowing it to drink from the uninterrupted water stream.

2 years later… I grew up with these on our dairy farm as a child and took them for granted. However, I just bought one of these a few days ago and spent 20 minutes playing with the amazing mousetrapedness of it all. As a physics-teaching adult, I have never appreciated it more than I did a few days ago! These things are truly amazing! They are WATER CLOCKS!!

The “irrigating sound” joke at the end was brilliant and perfectly delivered.

Auntie Clockwise, followed by “in circles like many online arguments”....

Pure gold.

Also I think that weird video thing was just compression in the high speed video mode.

"adjustable beyond their angle of sprinklage"
"the irrigating sound"
Superb use of language Sir !

I didn't know when I woke up this morning that there was anything to learn about sprinklers. This is the magic of this channel. 😊

THE SET SCREW!! You just taught me that I can use the set screw to distribute the water in a way better pattern to cover my lawn. Thank you Technology Connections

"Like most online arguments." That's what keeps me coming back.

Wasn't till I watched this that I realised I always wondered how these things worked.

Your puns and wordplay extend even to your closed captions; 10:07, "Impactfully smooth jazz, " lol!
Your efforts don't go unnoticed, good sir!

When I was a young kid, I remember being fascinated by these sprinklers - and I was super excited when my parents got me one for my birthday.
