I will strive to avoid any and all iot gadgets for as long as possible for exactly this reason. If there isn't an extremely good reason for my things to need regular updates and to be connected at all times, I'm not gonna buy it. It boggles my mind how many people still think it's a good thing that companies control their functionality from afar. Imagine if someone were able to shut off your car for no reason oh wait that is already a thing lmao.

Best internet of poo poo gadget however will forever be the juicero, a 400 dollar juice bag press that only worked with 8 dollar per Glas juice packages. I really wish I'd be able to channel my inner scheisster to make money of idiot tech bros and rich people. Introducing: the shitero, the world's first smart toilet paper dispenser, powered by neural networks. Shitero will automatically dispense the correct length of toilet paper after weighing your dump and checking the level of greasiness and concistency. Only 6 dollars per smart roll (tm). Can communicate with the smellero, an aerodynamic odorizor that will automatically perfumerate your bathroom after measuring your rear end stank.

Canuckistan posted:One of my favorite youtubers is AvE, a foul mouthed Canadian Engineer who, among other things, deconstructs consumer appliances and talks about the engineering and fabrication. His opinion of the Juicero is that it's amazingly well built and they lost their loving shirt on each one sold, hoping that the consumables would be the money maker. I saw that and it was just the cherry on top. All this precision and high quality components going into a thing that you could recreate with two steel plates, a few screws and a big rear end lever.

Oh you sweet summer child whose never been to a third world country. I was in Cairo a while back and the people will honk literally for anything, all the time. Light red? Honk. Light green? Honk. People on the street in front of you? Honk. People not on the steee tin front of you? Two honk. Everything going smoothly? Better honk in preparation. It is absolutely infuriating and I had daydreams about getting a stadium horn and just honking back like an angry goose.

Honestly as a German I think we should have a word for feeling ashamed for feeling schadenfreude, because between brexit, Limbaugh and assorted news around the world Ive been feeling bad sometimes by how gleefully I'm anticipating bad things to happen to idiots who imo deserve it. Schadenfreudenscham would work, I guess.

Cage posted:Barrel over chicken, fire started near barrel to roast chicken. Too much roast. Chicken bad. chitoryu12 posted:It's a very old kind of cooking technique, but you need low heat to cook it like that. Colonial Dutch ovens were generally used by covering them in the hot coals from a fire. By building an actual raging fire around it, he ended the chicken's existence. Thanks, I know of similar techniques, but the chicken looks like it still has all it's feathers (due to artefacts?) and the ragin fire just seemed way too big for it to make sense to me. Which it didn't.

Malachite_Dragon posted:Can we get the rule from the r/relationships thread that everyone who comes in just to bitch about "its fake dont you dare enjoy this" eats a probe in here, too? Nobody cares if you didn't think it was funny. I'll eat a probe if mod thinks it's justified, but to me these videos are annoying and they're not really in the spirit of the thread either. They'd fit more into the pyf funny video threads or something. Is it a big deal? Nah. Is it annoying enough that multiple people complained about it? Appearantly.

I kind of respect the dude in that it appearantly did work multiple times, and for the balls you have to have to try something like this. A steam powered homemade rocket is kind of badass. I am also not going to feel too bad about him dying while willfully, and in full control of his faculties, attempting to disprove something that has been proven again and again, using a homemade apparatus that launches him hundreds of meters into the air with badly thought out safety measures.

When they got to "rob people" I heard "rock people" at first and I was thinking "these people are on a level of racism I don't even know about, what the hell". Fantastic schad tho, it boggles the mind how people in this day and age can act like this and even post it on social media. How does that happen?

A friend once got a novelty can of 1l (2.5 pints) of beer, but didn't realize it was the strong version with around 8% alcohol. He drank it like normal beer in less than half an hour, and then went for more beer. It did not end well for him.

I gave some of my drunkest friends water shots a few times in my life, and not only is it a clever way to stop them from getting drunker, but the looks of tough manliness they put on when drinking it is funny as hell.

As a kid I vaguely remember one of those generic American "Miami vice" knock offs about bike cops. They had a badass intro and almost, almost managed to make it seem cool. Even as a dumb kid I realized how lame it was tho since every episodes big thing was a chase scene, where the bike cops would pedal like mad trying to catch some random runner, maybe sometimes a car? I remember thinking "just use a motorcycle drat" since it took forever and even with action shots just didn't look badass at all.

I remember when bf v was revealed and the main protagonist in the single Player mode was a woman, a Mode that maybe 3 percent of people even play. Gamers were loving livid, spouting all kinds of sexist bullshit and voting the game down at every platform, trying to hide their misogynistic flailing behind claims of wanting "historical accuracy", in a battlefield game of all things. There absolutely is gonna be a large part of gamers who are furious about this.

I am neither a PS fanboy nor do I really care how my console looks, but even so I am just scratching my head at how dumb the new design looks. It's like what you'd get if you asked a guy in 1995 what a console of the future might look like. Dumb.

Veni Vidi Ameche! posted:Lol, and he knew that, which is part of what makes this all so funny. His entire life depended on these forums, and he just couldn’t stop himself from making GBS threads on them and treating them like an unwanted step-child he was being forced to drag along to Disney World. That's the thing I'll never get, the forums are regularly visited by thousands of die hard fans of this community, and all lowtax had to do was just put the tiniest effort into it to make a modest amount of money off of it for decades. People love this place, they'd not even have a problem with giving rich some income if that means that he just let's it run on, but instead he constantly complained about the forums, dragged on important decisions and actively shat on goons. People were begging him for merch a while ago and all he managed to do was a completely lovely low effort "your city sports team" jersey for like 50 bucks that looked like rear end. He only made like 8 bucks of the on top of that. He had a golden goose but instead of just giving it some corn he decided to beat it until it seized the means of production. Also he wasn't funny for the last 15 years which is why his other projects were all unprofitable dogshit.

Necrothatcher posted:This needs a little context, but there was recently a high profile competition to win a gigantic library of music samples (worth like tens of thousands). Contestants could download a clip of Westworld and had to score it, with the final judges being JJ Abrams, Jonathan Nolan, Lisa Joy and Ramin Djawadi. They had 11,000 entries and this ended up winning: I love chip tunes but that music is just such a bad fit, if the scene is not meant to be funny/out of it, then it would kind of fit. If it was the original soundtrack the internet would make fun of it for days, and it might even spawn a bunch of parodies. That being said that is just funny as hell, good on them for choosing something that's out there and genuinely original. My best guess is that none of the judges really know anything about chiptunes and it was just very novel for them. Still, that's boaty mcboatface levels and it owns.
