You have to go back to YouTube 1911, actually.
Damn! That won't even make sense after today.

It was in the year 3054 that humanity discovered Life was, in fact, a really large perpetual motion office toy. That was God's original intention. Somewhere along the way, he got distracted by the primordial details and decided to pimp it out.

What the heck is that first link?
I'm glad you brought that up. I get this question a lot when making Metafilter posts. In this case, I can tell you that the first link has to do with the connection between your astrological sign - Capricorn, Aries, Pisces, Sagittarius, and so on - and the benefits that accrue from meditating on the corresponding perpetual motion device.
It's comforting to me to explain my links, because that way we can all agree on the sensibility of the thing I posted.

I'll explain the links: None of the machines actually work. As a matter of fact, that one with the switch flipped by the human really pissed me off.

What good is human technology if we cannot even break the laws of thermodynamics?

I'm not sure it was meant to be taken seriously... Myself, I enjoyed the little robot hands, and the water-fall illusion. Perfect links for today! The others, not so much.
