@pozorvlak@mathstodon.xyz The thing that gets me is that I know Heath Robinson’s stuff, but I can never remember his name when I want to reference him, and googling him when you don’t know his name is well nigh on impossible.

@moof@cupoftea.social @pozorvlak@mathstodon.xyz I tried putting "creator of absurd machine drawings" into a search engine. DuckDuckGo gave me a bunch of search results for Rube Goldberg, whose WP page's "See also" section links to Heath Robinson, and an AI-overview thing that mentions both WHR and RG. Google has WHR as its first search result.
