Taking a Meme of the Year to a whole new level: this contraption not only seems to defy gravity structurally, it also flies with baffling maneuverability. What other potential craft will use this long-lost building technique?
Edit: Actually, this meme, as far as I discovered, seems to be much older, perhaps as far back as 2012, if not earlier... although that might just be a science video rather than the sculpture craze that is spreading through the internet almost as fast as the current pandemic...
Also, there was no use of overload in this creation...
