What is that thing?
It’s an iron lung. Used to use them to help people breath when polio was sever enough to warrant it.
Tell me you’re trolling? It’s an industrial lathe. Probably non functional, but if turned on would shred that kid like tissue paper in a lawnmower.
it’s a lathe chuck, meant for hollowing out small children with insane precision.
I mean who leaves the key in the chuck, gives me the jitters.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round
You know, I was trying to go to sleep, but after seeing this I don’t know if I’ll be able to.
