THE BIRD FEEDER – Do you remember what it felt like as a kid when the merry-go-round would start spinning too fast? At first, all's well. You're whirling around and feeling the rush of excitement. Then the faces of the other kids watching from the grass begin to get blurrier and blurrier.

The next phase of the experience is when your body begins to slide ominously out toward the edge of the merry-go-round. You cling to the bars, hoping against hope that you won't suddenly go flying off.

Finally, your stomach begins to hurt. Desperately holding on to the merry-go-round with your last bit of strength, you basically accept the fact that you're going to be launched into oblivion.

I imagine that the squirrel in this video felt the same way.

Here's how the caption describes the scene:

"I spotted this squirrel in northern Michigan having what looked like a very rough Monday. He was hanging upside down and struggling to make his way around the bird feeder, creating a hilarious and relatable moment. I pulled out my phone and started recording as he continued his acrobatic battle."

Poor guy. Hopefully, he landed on something soft. Going through a terrifying merry-go-round experience while someone films the whole spectacle must be doubly humiliating.
