Real shit
I read this in AVGN’s voice.
I don’t care about hoverboards, but a great side effect of their mass production is that you can get a pretty decent brushless motor now for very cheap. I also saw a video about a hack you can do to make it run better at higher RPMs. You can get one of those hoverboard motors for like $30 on ebay and pair it with a $25 ODrive clone from aliexpress. Its good for probably 10 nm of torque at 36v 10a.
I see a hoverboard at my apartment dumpsters practically once a week. I rip them open for the battery pack, its always a stack of 18650s. I guess i should start collecting the motors too?
a stack of 18650s
(you probably already know) but this is common in a lot of battery packs. Batteries for power tools are good sources for the 18650s too. I never checked but I saw someone open a Tesla car battery and they look like a bunch of 18650s inside too.
I refurbish my power tool batteries instead of buying new ones because it is so easy.
“I’m poor” in so many words
Liquid Death? It’s just fucking water. There’s already water in your house you don’t need a fucking can with a threatening name for it.
eh I find their tall boys of sparking water have made it so I hardly drink alcohol at all now.
It’s worth $1.57 to fool my brain, and certainly cheaper than the same amount of beer.
I had heard that’s the point, to a degree, or at least to help people with a drinking problem not feel ostracized while out with friends.
I hope you guys are memeing because getting passionately mad over guy branded stuff that we just find kinda neat is a new level of stupid I haven’t been exposed to yet. I want my asshole to smell like mint, so I buy dude wipes. I want canned water to cut down on plastic usage, so I buy liquid death. I want a burger that’s not made of animals so I buy a beyond burger. Beyond what? I don’t fucking know I just want a burger.
It’s not that deep.

while i am a proponent that different brands of water is different and there is a difference in taste, ill never defend overpriced water.
like you arent going to give me a bottle of arrowhead water.
Arrowhead is the nastiest
bottledwater ever. If someone gave that shit to me instead of just local tap water, I’d be insulted.It is tap water.
From the rustiest taps in the world. It’s so metallic tasting, I’m surprised it’s not a brownish orange color.
I heard the branding was to help recovering alcoholics, so they don’t feel like they’re “missing out,” and won’t stand out so much with a scary can instead of a water bottle/glass. So they can still crack a cold one with the boys and such.
That’s pretty cute. I support this.
I’d believe this with how much I see Steve-O drinking it on his YouTube channel. The dude made a point to drive a whole ass vending machine of Liquid Death across the country to his new home lol. At his previous home in California, it was apparently up against the coping of the half pipe in his backyard so you could do trick off of it.
I’ve heard of kids who have been too corrupted by drink marketing to drink water drinking liquid death. If it gets demographics who wouldn’t otherwise drink water to drink water I can’t get upset about it
Okay, but their teas are actually pretty darn good and not loaded with sugar. I agree about the water though.
(Although, aluminum is essentially infinitely recyclable compared to plastic, so is probably a better alternative to bottled water)
If you have a local filtered water supplier you can bring a large reusable container and refill water from there. That way you still get the filtered water taste but cut out shipping
My local filtered water supplier is the fucking city I pay taxes to and it’s just fine. I don’t understand why so many people are afraid of tap water. I can download fifty fucking years of water testing data. I can get my home water tested for free every year. And you still have these assholes out here who drink nothing but plastic bottled water because it’s $5 per case from Aldi. That shit should have at least $5 of taxes added to it which go straight to the municipal supply.
Nothing wrong with tap, it’s the best choice if your city has proper mechanisms to ensure tap water quality. Unfortunately not all cities invested in good infrastructure. Theres still a couple of US cities with either bad pipes or local water pollution
I’m not afraid of tap water but, in the city I live in, it tastes like pool water and I find that highly unpleasant.
Hate to break it to you, the inside of cans are still lined with plastic. Still marginally better than plastic bottles though.
Costco seltzer packs are a much better/cheaper choice.
The hoverboards are for kids as far as I can tell. Childhood just isn’t the same without some way to bust your face open. Parks got nerfed by a well-meaning child safety crusade that fixed nothing and ruined playgrounds; because the problem wasn’t that the playgrounds are dangerous - the problem was that kids are stupid and clumsy so sometimes shit happens and a kid will die tragically. It’s literally unavailable, that’s what makes it an accident.
Some of these kinds of things - especially “as seen in tv” stuff advertised by fumblebums - are actually intended for people who are partially or wholly physically disabled. But if they market it for disabled people then they’ll sell less of them and the price will go up, and because we live in
Americahell, the disabled didn’t make nearly enough to survive as is. So they market it to everybody with an over-the-top ad instead. Remember the Snuggy? Literally designed for people in wheelchairs and with mobility issues.The rest is just brand awareness bullshit and market expansion. Seriously, man-wipes exist because they’d hit market saturation and are trying to squeeze out a profit increase by targeting a different demographic. Because in capitalism, the line MUST go up. Brand awareness is just a way of saying “Hey! Pay attention to me, I’m Diet Coke! Don’t forget! Are you thirsty now? Pick me!” And the quest part? Both stupid trucks work because people are dumb.
I read(yelled) this entirely in Lewis Black’s voice.
You went too far with Arby’s
I like it how Arby’s just takes a random stray
Pro-tip: if you choose to wipe your ass with babywipes/gendered moist towellets… Don’t flush them.
Just to reiterate, even the ones that claim to be “flushable” DO NOT FLUSH THEM. It’s a damn lie and I don’t know how they keep getting away with it.
It feels like a part of that deregulation politicians keep going on about. Deregulation ruined the airlines and now they’re ruining our buttholes… when is enough enough?
What? But they’re flushable*, it says so right on the package.
* if your municipality allows it. No municipality does.
It says flushable, which is true. It doesn’t say what happens to it after it’s flushed, and it doesn’t say it’s a good idea.
From the same blithering idiots who regurgitate “everything is edible once, huh yuk!” every time inedible mushrooms are mentioned.
We really gotta regulate the use of that word.
Regulate? Sounds socialist and anti capitalist. Better just let them keep doing what they want for the sake of The Economy ®
Can you just put “flushable” on anything and get away with it? For instance if I made a “flushable” pillow case could I be held legally liable for anything?
Flushable rapid-set concrete.
Flushable bees!
The quesadilla maker’s pretty useful. Skillets only cook food on one side at a time, you know.
Mine has been sitting in the back of my cupboard for at least a decade. This post just remindied me to donate the thing to Goodwill. There once was a time when I would eat a quesadilla on a regular basis. At this point in life I can’t justify having a whole appliance for making only one type of dish.

What a waste just to save a couple mins.
I know, why do people have ovens when they could just cook everything in a fire pit? Lazy assholes!
Nice false equivalence friend.
Y’all prefer dry sandwiches?
Arby’s is fire, it’s just not worth the price
I dunno, I fucking love Arby’s.
Not my favorite, but their chicken sandwich is okay
Me too!
I would probably hate wet sandwiches too. Glad my Arby’s near me doesn’t have wet sandwiches. It sucjs that even with all the work franchises do to try and make sure each location is as similar as possible, some people just get unlucky that the one they live close to sucks.

We struck gold with our nearby Popeyes. One of my favorites. So good id eat one of their biscuits without something to drink
Arby’s can be pretty good if you get stuff other than their regular roast beef. I like their reubens, gyros, and jamocha shakes.
That said, they’re definitely not as good as they used to be. I miss their sliced roast chicken sandwiches, both the normal one that came with tomato and shredded lettuce and mayo, but more particularly the “triple cheese and bacon” roast chicken sandwich that they had like 20 years ago with sliced swiss, cheddar sauce, and parmesan spread.
Dude wipes are the most toxic masculine bullshit product I’ve ever seen. Honestly who the fuck buys that shit except the most fragile male ego in the universe
If it gets men to take care of themselves…I’m for it.
REAL MEN HAVE SKID MARKS
/s
I know a guy that said he doesn’t wash around his ass when he showers because “that’s gay as hell”. I don’t even wanna know what kind of biome he’s got flourishing down there.
I liked the answer that I once saw here: “Real men do whatever the fuck they want.” No one cares about this kind of judgmental assholery.
Real men have painted nails when their kids say it’s time to paint nails
Yes, Real Men™️ fall for toxic masculinity marketing tactics. Real Men™️! Also, just your average mindless consumer regardless of gender but Real Men™️, too! Especially, Real Men™️!
Be Real Men™️
Turns out there are a lot of those people. They’re probably doing fine.
they’re probably doing better with cleaner buttholes than if these didnt exist
when you have large hands and a large asshole that takes large messy shits, you need a larger than normal ass wipe. dude wipes is the largest asswipe on the market. no cap.
I’m a caregiver for a man who needs coaching through the entire bathroom hygiene process and I can say that in my professional opinion, Dude Wipes are terrible. They pull apart just getting them out of the package (see below), let alone when someone with dexterity issues tries to clean their butthole with them. He ended up with a poop covered hand after pulling the bits of pulled apart dude wipe out from his butt.
They are the largest “flushable” wipes, but are smaller than a normal baby wipe. Flushable wipes shouldn’t be flushed anyway, they’re terrible for every type of sewage system.
Fine, but now big gals with same need to buy “dude wipes.” Just call it heavy duty, or industrial strength.
dude, cmon
Or Carl’s jr EXXXTRA BIG-ASS wipes.
I buy them because they smell like mint. I prefer them over normal wet wipes. I didn’t think this was such a passionate issue for people.
Yeah same, I got ones that smell like Shea butter, they’re pretty nice. I mean if the store had other ones branded differently with the same wipes I would just buy those lol. I feel like the only ones triggered by the imagery are ironically the guys who are insecure in their masculinity and feel threatened by a literal moist toilette.
You also seem to be taking it really personally for some reason.
I buy the product, the comment attacks people who buy the product. I’m quite literally the target group. “For some reason”
Agreed. Stop flushing wipes, none of them are “flushable”. If it doesn’t dissolve from light manipulation when wet, it’s not flushable.
Bidet. Just get one. They’re like $30 and take 10min to install. Clean buttholes forever.
I’m sitting on a fine $700 one right now and it’s heaven. My real office.
I can’t even imagine what features $700 can buty you in a bidet.
Guess I was wrong about price… it’s $850 but it’s the Toto S550e. Bought it two years ago and haven’t regretted it at all. I’m actually going to have an electrician come out to install plugs in the other bathrooms to put bidets in all of them.
The one I have now also sprays the front area for the ladies to I can’t comment on that but might be why it’s so expensive.
The seat heats, the water is warm that sprays, auto open… pretty much all you need. I will say that as a dude on the taller side (6’ 2”), I really have to scoot my ass forward quite a bit so I’d probably find something else for my next bidet.
TOTO SW3056#01 S550E Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat with Cleansing Warm, Nightlight, Auto Open and Close Lid, Instantaneous Water Heating, and EWATER+
Ah that’s a lot more features then even the nice hotel in Korea had. The instant heat and all the automatic stuff is probably why it’s so expensive.
The second nozzle for vulvas is standard on even cheap models.
Ah man, you’ve got a Cadillac.
I had me an old Panasonic model at my old apartment that wasn’t as nice but goddamn if you set that MF to the strongest setting 🫨🫨. The thing would clean your ass, rectum and colon lol.
Bidets are great if you’re at home but if you travel you need something

Fuck it unattended hose in someone’s yard
You really don’t. Toilet paper does the job for 90+% of people, at least in the US.
And 90+% of the United States population walks around with shit on their ass. It’s gross.
To be fair, a moistened wad or two of toilet paper works just as well as “flushable” wipes.
I’ve tried to get them to install one at work, but they keep slapping that one down.
Have you tried toilet paper?
No I’ve only ever tried wiping with your mom‘s tongue
Anything other than a bidet, bonus points for charging more for having more ‘masculine’ advertising
Not to go political but have you paid any attention to the number of supporters of the king of fragile male egos, their king? It’s a huuuge market segment.
They’re larger than regular wipes, and the chemicals are less irritating. Compare to cottonelle wipes which make my down there burn, and the choice is easy. These days I prefer crocodile wipes though.
Who’s out there wiping crocodiles?!
So then call them “XL wipes” and put a line about sensitive skin
Pass that along to their branding coordinators. No one here can do shit about what products are named.
We can do a little bit by mocking the branding mercilessly.
