Cách sử dụng
"Rube Goldberg" is an expression used to describe a complicated or overly elaborate machine or process that is designed to do a simple task. It is named after the American cartoonist and inventor Rube Goldberg, who was known for drawing comical illustrations of contraptions that did everyday tasks in convoluted ways. For example, if someone has created a machine that uses a series of pulleys, levers, and gears to open a simple door, you could say that it is "a real Rube Goldberg machine." The term is often used in a humorous or sarcastic way to point out how unnecessary or ridiculous a process is.
