Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsThe most awesome video you will ever see of a washing machine tearing itself apart
While videos of people putting stuff in appliances to watch them break is practically a genre unto itself, this one in particular stands out, due to the intricacy with which this washer gets dismantled.
Watch as it is methodically disassembled piece-by-piece in a feat of automatic reverse-engineering.
Looks like someone is about to make good on that extended warranty gamble.

I was actually pretty impressed on how well the tub, frame, and motor kept driving, as it tore itself apart.

I imagine there were homeless or animal shelters or a daycare that would have been grateful for the donation.
This is more than a little Jackass.

I think in this case, the entertainment value outweighs the utility value.
