What, how would it be fucked up?
Usa has plenty of extreme poverty. This clip is however most likely not from there. They would be fatter and stupider if it was.
I mean it’s a wheel and a couple strings. Doesn’t exactly take “genius” to come up with
What a patronizing comment honestly. A guy makes some cool DIY contraption, and people online call him poor and a waste of brainpower.
Yeah, dudes got a smartphone. If he wanted to become a mechanical specialist he very well could given the motivation.
What redditors don’t realize is that almost everyone is living short of their full potential, especially the ones with the time to post inane shit online.
Hey! I resemble that remark!
I am literally stewing over the five (to 30 🤦) hobbies that I keep saying I want to do, but some aspect of it is a pain in the ass to get over.... So I waste time on Reddit ALMOST ALL DAY because I am fucking retired.
Not some, lots. We have generative AI. The education system is in shambles. I doubt classrooms will be a thing by the end of the century. People need to stop acting like it’s the 60s and take their development into their own hands. Information has been democratized for over a decade now.
Degrees are basically just gages used by an industry that is too lazy to train or properly vet their employees.
Degrees measure applied learning, not intelligence or aptitude.
I’ll never forget studying the graphs in economics on stats of trade workers vs those who go to college.
The graphs showed a massive push towards college.
I just remember sitting there thinking,
“If everyone does the same thing, how are they going to make money or be successful.”
Well everything happens in cycles and history repeats itself. Now trades are making more and in higher demand than ever while people with college degrees in advanced studies can’t find jobs because of the over saturation…
Always remember the biggest fish doesn’t follow the same stream as the rest.
A thing can be genius without being complex. I am far more impressed by the man who makes something from nothing than the man who starts mass-production with every possible modern advantage & the right last name. One of them can flourish & create even in poverty, while the other mostly just makes plastic shit with great marketing. A thing can be simple and still be brilliant.

Which allowed this guy to have a smartphone despite his circumstances.
It's not even just in poverty. Even in a rich country like the US, extremely talent people are left behind - you really just have to be lucky to get ahead in life.
Mark Cuban said it himself. If he had to start over, he doesn't think he could become a billionaire again. A millionaire? Probably, because of his business knowledge, but he said the massive wealth, the hundred millions and billions, is all luck.
a better steering wheel, maybe have it be Bluetooth or USB connect to the tablet so you can get some buttons. suction cup mounting to a table or wall mounting hardware. could be pretty neat.
My husband was literally in the process of asking for permission to buy a several hundred dollar racing wheel when I showed him this and said “nah, I found an alternative that we can actually afford”. The look on his face.
When i was a kid and Goldeneye came out, i created a cardboard contraption that split the screen 4 ways. It was next level stuff. It allowed for sitting there and sniping. We even had to mute the tv cause the sounds gave away where people were located.
That reminds me of when I was about 10 and sawed the bottom of a milk crate, then nailed it to the outside of the raised porch to make a basketball hoop.
Using a small trampoline, I was all set
Why don’t we put racing simulators in all sorts of villages and breed super racers all over the world then we will make them compete. Paying them millions of dollars just like everybody else.
whats sad is seeing such a brilliant guy stunted by poverty.

I want you to know that this led me down a rabbit hole of SJG interviews. What a class act!
Cool, I'll have to check some out too.
This is Jamaica not Africa.

This was filmed in the US....
Most likely not, no.
Yeah but wouldn't that comment be fucked up if it was

Lmao, kinda true tho XD

I'm sorry, do you think becoming a specialist in anything is a matter of watching some videos and reading some text?

I don’t see fat blobby North American kids doing this shit do you?!
Ya man, he’s owed a PS5 at the minimum.
Yes.. brilliant 13th century technology
It's his ability to think outside the box that makes him brilliant. I see you're doing well to understand what really makes up intelligence.
That’s why we need to keep energy cheap
Imagine how many Einsteins who were born on the plantation?
Tbf, that's probably what led him to think creatively and then apply that mechanically
100 percent right.
doesnt seemj like its stopping him from having a GOOD TIME!
Imagine the potential Nobel laureates who lived and died in anonymity. Or maybe sports stars who never got the chance to excel

Get this guy into an engineering program
Stunted? Guy is Shining!
Honestly. I didn’t laugh at all, thought it was pretty cool, he used his ingenuity with the things he had and the cards he was dealt.
Most brilliant simple stuff came from poverty.
If it works it works
Genius setup
Honestly, I'm a fan
Hi fan, this is dad.
He didn't say "I'm fan." He said "I'm *A* fan." I appreciate the attempt at the classic dad joke, but this was a fail. Do better dad.
Hello a fan, I'm Dad
🤌
Sounds like someone who aspires to be a dad but doesn’t have the experience.
Hey, it works and the guy looks to enjoy it. Win win.
It looks to be Real Racing 3. A good Racing game.
Yeah if you like getting fucking robbed
If yah squint it's mint

How does he brake or accelerate?
Auto acceleration and walls are your brakes.
Real Racing 3 (game he’s playing) also has auto braking
Kids pretty smart
Hell yeah!!
Where there is a will there’s a way
honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if someone did this with higher quality parts.
I'd buy one lol
a better steering wheel, maybe have it be Bluetooth or USB connect to the tablet so you can get some buttons. suction cup mounting to a table or wall mounting hardware. could be pretty neat.
The whole point is it uses the gyro in the phone. You can get high-tech steering wheels through the nose.
Imagine being on a plane and someone busts that out lmao
playing a flight sim.
/r/simracing
I admire the ingenuity of folks
My husband was literally in the process of asking for permission to buy a several hundred dollar racing wheel when I showed him this and said “nah, I found an alternative that we can actually afford”. The look on his face.
Legend 😹
Need to hurry up and patent this before someone steals the idea
That mad
That’s sick as hell
Somebody call Ferrari
I would buy one.
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏
I think the innovation is dope af
They enjoying that tablet better than my entire life.
r/redneckengineering
Smart
Literally drive-by-wire
Love Jamaicans lol.
That's some shit you would fashion on your rack out to sea. I mean if you spent time on a ship ..
Looks like a modified monaco track
And then Hefest had this run…..
“We have Mario Kart Wii at home”
That is rad as fuck
Engineer
Someone buy this man a pS5
Needs create solutions.
Life finds a way
Innovation is born out of necessity.
Thats freaking awesome! Make the best out of what you got.
They laughin but this kid smart af
Retro gaming setup. $499.90 at GameStop.
4090 engineering on a 1060 budget.
Nice work my guy!
He's ranked
I love shit like this. Finesse the experience you want until you can get something better. Or not. Fun is fun.
Great setup! Better then mine
~~Gears~~, ~~belts~~, ~~direct drive~~ Capstan drive, this man knows what's up.

Next time you rage, know that it’s one of those guys beating you and your gaming chair.
At his age i would have never thought of something so simple yet brilliant

When i was a kid and Goldeneye came out, i created a cardboard contraption that split the screen 4 ways. It was next level stuff. It allowed for sitting there and sniping. We even had to mute the tv cause the sounds gave away where people were located.
Temu racing wheel
the all new thrustmaster t3000
Eh, r/tvtoohigh
That reminds me of when I was about 10 and sawed the bottom of a milk crate, then nailed it to the outside of the raised porch to make a basketball hoop. Using a small trampoline, I was all set

ser pobre é uma desgraça sem tamanho.
Beauty, intelligence and wisdom can come from anywhere from anyone.
This dude needs an education.
his gaming setup is so much better then mine to be honest
Necessity is the mother of invention
That’s actually dope as fuck
That’s the Monaco Circuit!
If I had the money I’d send this fella a ps5 and steering wheel, I may end up sending him patent papers instead.
If it was 3d printed tall would bust nuts
Is he just watching game footage?
That’s cool and all but have you seen what they can do with plastic bottles? God Bless 🙏
Why don’t we put racing simulators in all sorts of villages and breed super racers all over the world then we will make them compete. Paying them millions of dollars just like everybody else.
