NOT OFFICEMAX — Feeding paper into a shredder one sheet at a time might give you a wee thrill for approximately 45 seconds, but as many interns will tell you, it quickly becomes tedious.
Well, it becomes tedious unless you are a motor expert and decide to replace your paper shredder motor with a 44,400 RPM brushless motor.
A toy shop (yes a toy shop) in Denmark called Morfars.dk, that specializes in remote controlled cars, helicopters and boats, decided to do just that. And they blessed us all by putting it on the internet.
Trust me, it’s anything but boring.
In the video, you’ll see a man named Tommy take apart and rebuild a shredder with plenty of verve and enthusiasm. The build in and of itself is impressive. But then Tommy starts feeding paper through.
It’s hard to describe the speed, but if you blink, you will miss it.
The best way to describe it may be to compare the paper to a victim in a horror movie. One second a person is there, and the next second they’ve been pulled into the villain’s lair without a single scream.
The good people at Morfars.dk made the super shredder in response to a new privacy law out of the European Union that has recently disrupted the internet worldwide. If you’re sick of hearing the phrase “GDPR compliant” or seeing “privacy policy update” pop-ups, you’ll understand exactly what drove Morfars.dk to test the therapeutic value of extreme shredding.
Please do not try this at home.
