There's nothing like a mechanical GIF to soothe the anxieties of the day. Machines (almost always) work smoothly, and if they break, they get fixed. Simple as that. If you need some more simplicity in your life, check out these ten mechanical GIFs and prepare for your life to feel a lot more manageable. 

Do you ever see tiny things and wonder how on Earth they were made? What, did faries make them with tiny fairy hands? In the case of the Sigma fp, the world's smallest full frame camera, we have video evidence that it is not being made by fairies (although the video might just be a front... we will investigate more). The workers in these videos do have to seem nimble hands, though. If you're interested in seeing how a tiny camera is made, continue reading!

The Tesla 3 has been one of Tesla Motors greatest triumphs. The Tesla 3 has captured more than two-thirds of the electric vehicle market since its launch in 2017, and selling over 190,000 cars up until this point in the US alone, and have produced over 270,000. The vehicle itself is relatively affordable starting around $35,000, which is around half the cost of the other Tesla vehicles. To put it into perspective, 180,000 pre-orders were made in the car's first 24 hours, and over 325,000 in the first week alone after release. 

But with all the acclaim and market domination, how does one make such a trend-setting car? Luckily, we found a behind the scenes look at their factory, so we have from start to finish how the Tesla 3 is manufactured.

It's that time of the week: time for things to go right, to tick like clockwork. It's mechanical GIF time! Sometimes there's nothing more satisfying than watching a few GIFs of machines doing things correctly and efficiently (especially when life doesn't go that way). Enjoy.

So far, 2020 has started off a little bumpily (for some of us). If you need a little order in your life, or just enjoy watching machines work like they should, check out the top ten mechanical GIFs of 2020 from r/mechanical_gifs.
