Product demo with philosophical pitch from @thecuriositybox

The creator demonstrates a unique cylindrical ruler that allows the user to define any length as a custom unit of measurement. He first explains the standard mathematical calculation for a Lego brick's diagonal, then shows how his 'ruler of the universe' simplifies this by setting the diagonal to '1,' and uses this new unit to measure a line of five bricks. The video concludes with a philosophical call to break free from standardized units and a promotional offer for a different product.

Transcript excerpt

This building brick is 1.6 centimeters wide, so its diagonal is the square root of 1.6 squared plus 1.6 squared, but it doesn't have to be. With the ruler of the universe, I can set its diagonal to one. Now I know that five is how far five of their diagonals will stretch. Liberate yourself from standardized units. Why be ruled when you could be the ruler of the universe? Join our cause for a year and get a free camera lucida.
