Rotating Bookcase Made from Recycled Sinks

There’s a lot going on here. This is the Sink-Wall, a pivoting room divider (also called a “door”) made from 20 stainless steel kitchen sinks. Each sink also serves as a storage or display unit for books or other objects. Lot-ek Architects designed and built two of these units for Edizioni Press in Chelsea, New York City. The users no doubt learned that you can’t pivot a bookcase quickly, or you’ll have to pick up books from the floor. This is just one example of recycling odd castaways into new furniture. See more of them in the post Five Incredible Pieces of Furniture Made from Recycled Parts.

On the contrary, the purpose of the "first world problems" internet gag is to convey exactly this message; first world problems are not problems. Regardless, this video makes a striking contrast.

How about somebody sends this video to the governments that created terrible lives for their population instead of making us feel guilty? Our problems are clearly not equal, but that's just because we've created an awesome society that works.

It does put things into perspective, though. No matter who's fault it is that people live in such awful conditions, I get very tired of people who live a very good life complaining about things that are a product of their wealthy lifestyle.
