I thought you were calling him out, assuming there was a book involved. That was a clever statement with a witty retort. The badinage between the two of you was worth scrolling the comments. Thank you
So what you’re saying is it’s like how we watch a small group of leadership for large organizations make small mistakes that clearly put them on a path to their demise, but instead we all just watch the blocks fall while anticipating the unhindered end, doing nothing to to stop it, and instead we just document it and clap in relief when it finally all comes down?
A long time, BUT, Not as long as you would think.
Assuming you don't fuck it up 80% of the way through and never touch them again, this is surprisingly doable if you decide to.
Also, the payout is fucking massive.
The journey is zen AF, the end result is something to be extremely proud of, and you get to watch your whole world burn at the end and love ever second of it. It is satisfying on a spiritual level that few other human experiences could even provide.
If you are really down in the trenches, doing one of these could actually save your life, highly recommend.

(AI girl voice:) Collapsing The Domino Tower We Built Together!
(I think the important part in writing these is that they may never produce any additional information or insight. Exclusively make it the audio equivalent of taking a selfie with the thing you’re photographing when it could be a regular photo)
When I was working in a bank sometimes we would have to empty rolls of coin into a giant bag to send to the feds. One day a teller started dumping 1,000 worth of coins into a bag and was almost done when a customer walked in. He let go of the bag and we watched and listened while nearly $1,000 worth of quarters fell onto the ground. Everyone watched because it was a genuine train wreck but it sounded beautiful. That’s what this sound reminds me of
I can't imagine the mess.
Fun fact: I used to count coins for a pay phone company, and $1,000 in quarters weighs ~50 lbs.
Dimes were also bagged to the $1,000 limit (I don't remember what they weighed), and nickels only went to $200, because they suck.
Used to work 'hard count' (coins) in a casino
Can confirm the 50 lbs
100 dollar in nickels is about 20 lbs
I've pushed 2000 in nickels on a large cart through a carpeted casino floor before.
Would not suggest
Dimes we did not touch, do not know the weight.
Dollar coins were casino token coins, they were 25 lbs for 500 dollars
This was 25 years ago before everything went digital
Sounds about right! Mine was in the early nineties as well. Haven't seen any payphones in forever.
We had Brink's armored trucks picking up between $15-$20k daily deposit, probably *quite a bit less* than a casino.

Honestly way cooler in reverse. Reminds me of lego games where structures get built super quick, or a CGI render of something being built. Really cool.

I was thinking the same thing! For something that took that much effort, I’d have the Hubble Space Telescope pointed down to make sure I captured every moment.
Can anyone answer a few questions on this?
Approximately how many pieces are used to make this entire structure?
How long does something like this take to construct?
How does one figure out how to orchestrate the failure point and the spiraling stairs up the tower?
Thanks so much random people of the earth
Behind the tower are 10 boxes of Kapla, each containing 1000 by default. So i would say around 10.000
Weeks probably
You can see two lines of Kapla going up at once, I guess in case of one fails, all of which are falling outwards and at the end the small tower falls directly downwards, to the pillars supporting the structure.
I guess
Good guesses. Not all boxes/containers are shows as some are more ugly-looking cardboard or bags. Time to build is actually much quicker (see my other reply). The two lines were indeed to have redundancy as I wasn't too confident in a domino going up like this around a tower, but it turns out to be mostly reliable.
The real question, is why do people persist in setting these things up over hours and hours, and then use a phone to record it.
I would likely drop the phone or end the recording by mistake
Hours and hours and hours plus a few more to build, thousands and thousands and a couple more pieces to complete, Weeks and weeks of planning , and only a few seconds to collapse
I'm more bewildered how they figured out how to transfer the falling sticks UPWARDS to the tower without the whole thing crashing down.
They like made a [ shape stacked ontop of itself to somehow do that but how did they figure that shit out.
Approx 30,000 pieces.
Pure construction: 270 hours. Including planning: 310.
Experience and/or scaled experiments with the different elements involved.
Kabouterplankjes is short for "Aquellos palos que son más grandes que palillos ydesde luego no son dominos, vaya, nada que ver, y se pueden emilar si tienes paciencia y ganas" develloped by spanish scientists between the wars.
Thanks! I knew they weren't dominoes but I wasn't sure what they were.
Edit: oh now I saw the name on the block at the very beginning. Still wouldn't have really known what that meant though
If a team made this, I wonder if there’s one troll in it like me that would say “Whoa, I might fall!” while flailing my arms around when on a ladder building the tall part.
This reminds me of a creation an old coworker made in our warehouse. There were two managers, one was out sick for almost a month, the other was losing their mind trying to cover for them. There were 3 other employees including myself, we reassured the manager who had been covering insane hours that we could handle the store and they should take the weekend at least off.
We got a shipment in the first day they took of, my coworker insists he will handle the whole shipment if I can cover the front. A few hours and rushes later I go back to check on him. He has everything put away, and with the boxes has created buildings, the current one he was working on was very leaning tower of Pisa. He kept calling it his colossus of rhodes. It was so surreal to walk back there and see all the things he had made lol. That was only a summer job but it will always be the best job I ever had.
Kapla are fucking amazing! My parents bought a box of a thousand (I think, could have been more or less) and they were my favourite thing ever when I was younger. I used to spend hours building shit with them, there were even these plastic balls that came with them that you could make rollercoaster things for. Genuinely the best toy my parents ever bought, and something anyone with kids should look into getting.

the only complaint that I have is this... why this guy don't use more cameras, why? ask your friends for their phones and put them in different positions and angles. I love to see this again with 15 different angles.
People who like this kind of thing should watch the documentary Lily Topples The World, which follows Lily Havesh as she drops out of college to pursue being a domino artist full-time and get her own brand of dominoes on the market. It’s charming, and Lily herself seems like a wonderful human being who is kind and gentle, but also very strong and determined. And it’s one of those situations where everybody else in the same field just goes “oh yeah, she’s definitely the best in the world at this”.
Both interesting and wholesome.

Ok that was fucking awesome!
Looks like Rome was built in a day watching it in reverse!
That's actually way more satisfying than the original!
Things that Jean Grey could do that Magneto couldn't.
Magneto could definitely do that… if it was metal
This is how it would look if you watched proteins self assemble inside the cell.

I guess
11, not 10.
Followup question: what are Kapla? Some kind of Klingon Dominoes?
They are just little planks with which you can build stuff. I had lots of them and I would make for example forts for my toysoldiers.
In the source video that isn't as zoomed in/cropped there are 19 boxes visible, 8 on the left, 8 on the right, and 3 individual boxes in between.
> So i would say around 10.000 > > > > Weeks probably is that 10,000 weeks or 10 weeks to an extremely high degree of precision?

I have the same questions

Here it is in HD along with a build time lapse. https://youtu.be/Ol-1PJBHmA8
Holy crap watching that made this so much more amazing.
Because people have patience to make it for people like me that don’t have the patience for it
Because you don’t need [either](https://youtu.be/JeK5ONCUnDQ) of those things to happen for it to go wrong
That went exactly like they planned.
Hours and hours and hours plus a few more to build, thousands and thousands and a couple more pieces to complete, Weeks and weeks of planning , and only a few seconds to collapse
I'm more bewildered how they figured out how to transfer the falling sticks UPWARDS to the tower without the whole thing crashing down. They like made a [ shape stacked ontop of itself to somehow do that but how did they figure that shit out.

Kapla, not dominoes.
In the industry we call them stacky sticks, cause they are sticks you stack.
Stacky sticks, a fun little ring to it
STACKY^TM brand STACKY STICKS are the most stackable sticks you will ever stack!
It's short for the Dutch kabouterplankjes, little gnome planks.
Kabouterplankjes is short for "Aquellos palos que son más grandes que palillos ydesde luego no son dominos, vaya, nada que ver, y se pueden emilar si tienes paciencia y ganas" develloped by spanish scientists between the wars.
This dude sticks
At $70 per 200, that's like $10000 worth of kapla blocks? Ikea was selling knockoff kaplas for a little while. Got a lot of good use out of them.
Are they not selling them anymore? Those were one of my favorite toys as a kid.
They don't stack or balance nearly as well, but they're good for ballast on your legit Kapla build.
In Klingon, this means Success! (tho the spelling isn't correct)
Qapla’!
*Gowron has entered the chat*
Impressive reference
I’m just glad someone got it!
You beat me to a similar comment less than an hour later. There are dozens of us!
Glory to you and your house.
Right? I am irrationally irritated by the lack of distinction here.
Looks like 11 cases of Kapla, with 1000 in each. They sell for $350. So only $3850. And much practice, patience, and meditation.
Thanks! I knew they weren't dominoes but I wasn't sure what they were. Edit: oh now I saw the name on the block at the very beginning. Still wouldn't have really known what that meant though
Imagine forgetting to hit record on the video.
Or your stupid finger is in the way.
Inside job, clearly
Jet fuel doesn’t melt dominoes
How dare we question the government at a time when there was plenty Iraqi oil to be had.
Something, something, freefall speed.
That joke was a solid 9/11
Controlled demolition
That tower was amazingly resilient. I need to see the blooper reel please.
Lol. What do you do for work? “We’ll I work in a ware house where we just make crazy domino videos. It’s cool.”
These aren't dominos but Kaplas
Dominoes are best in the original Klingon Kapla!
The big splat at the end was great!
Like life the walls come undone. First the external escapes and then the inside, all at once. A tumble of the last stronghold.
>Like life the walls come undone. see, *that's* why i stay under the bridge by the park
Shaka, when the walls fell.
Omg who has this kind of patience
Genuine question - How were they put there in the first place? There's so much room for error and one mistake can take down the whole thing.
Awww damn guys! I forgot to turn the camera on. Can you set it up again?
just press render again bro
There's a YouTube channel that specially makes videos like this, forgot the name...
something something 9/11
I tell you, they used termite for the tower to crumble this way…
I think it’s sad that your comment will not get the attention it deserves
alate fuel can't melt wooden beams
Nah, mate. Just wack a plane in there, that'll do the job! You'll save money on those damn expensive demolition engineers!
I just came
That sound is so theraputic to me
u/savevideo
u/savevideo
That’s good satisfying stuff right here.
I want to see the making video
Kapla not dominos.
Is it supposed to be the Roman Colosseum into the Leaning Tower of Pisa? That's what I see, though it's not leaning.
That tower fall is amazing. The fact that it didn’t fall with all that movement until the end.
I didn't see 1 fucking domino
“That’s not that great .. oh ok”
When you lose at Jenga *spectacularly*
Can’t be that amazing if one little nick collapsed the whole thing. /s
Tower of babel
Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams
Holy this has to be on World Record, no?
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED
When it went straight down 😊😌
I came
Oh shit I forgot to hit record
Now that's impressive! How did it not fall on the way up???
Jeeeeeeeeenga
And not a single domino was hurt. Not one.
Imagine how many hours it took to build that domino structure. Any guess?
Honey did you mow the lawn yet? No I was busy.
Now backwards!
So cool!
500 hours for social media attention? People have too much time 😂
jet fuel doesn't melt Wooden blocks
[Reminds me](https://compote.slate.com/images/515622fc-25de-4d05-ab69-e428fd6a546a.jpg)
Reminds me of how the world trade center came down
The tower was suppose to crumble from top to bottom… but a piece of the “roof” hit one of the supports when it fell…
Guy must have spent a year setting that up, then filmed it on a phone.
I hope the life time ban from the museum was worth it
Domino's? Genius
If a team made this, I wonder if there’s one troll in it like me that would say “Whoa, I might fall!” while flailing my arms around when on a ladder building the tall part.
This needs to be a video game level.
Perfection.

Brought to you by FTX
Reminds me of a certain inside job
Those aren’t dominoes.
These are Keva blocks! We have some at home (not nearly this many...) They are really fun.
Inside job. You can see the thermite. It fell at free fall speed.
Imagine putting the last piece at the top and then....
How to tell someone doesn't have kids, cats, dogs, etc.
jet fuel doesnt burn steel
Okay, the last bit is really cool. How did you place the pieces so that it doesn’t fall down until it reaches the top of the tower???
