    Personally, I just find it annoying, because it’s not immediately recognizable as such, especially with this old picture look. Having someone else comment that it’s horseshit is certainly appreciated, so I don’t have to spend the time finding out whether it’s garbage or not.

      As soon as I saw it on Facebook I didn’t even look closely before deciding it wasn’t a sheet folding machine.

      Regardless of the crazy dimensions for such a task, I doubt the start of the industrial revolution would be automating this of all things.

      Also: “3 sheets per hour”.

        Yeah, I did figure out that it’s not a sheet folding machine pretty quickly. But I thought, it might have been a loom or something. Humanity has certainly built some big looms.

          Fair enough but it is not the responsibility of the joker to satisfy your tangential curiosity.

          I do appreciate that you are not saying it is. You are merely making whimsical conversation, but the number of upvotes you are getting look like desperately eager anti-AI cultists jumping on board.
