kinda looks like that scene from saw where John was getting a piece of his skull removed and they remove the flap of skin

It's amazing how smooth the surface of the ball is compared to even the metal ring that is holding it.

No wonder it once counted as a huge industrial achievement to be able to produce parts with such a precision (and cheap!)

Thought that was a still from a 1950's underground nuke test.

Before posting for sale:

Cobble together a fake cover video of you slinging paint from a swing, throwing buckets of paint and body rolling over said paint and then on to canvas followed by giving it some esoteric title plus an astronomical selling price

All you need is one

Good Luck
