Here’s how Facebook poster Matthew Hill explained it. How he knows all of this behind-the-scenes info about the squirrel obstacle course, we have no idea.

“This takes place in England — the owners of the yard added each piece of the Rube Goldberg contraption slowly so that when the squirrel learned one section and got the nuts, they then added the next section. Finally it ended with what you see on the clip! It took over 2 weeks to get to this point.”

There you have it. So, do yourself a favor and stop whatever’s going on in that annoyance you call your life, and check out this delightful squirrel obstacle course video.
