To connect your garden hose your graphics card obviously. Gotta keep it topped up.

It's what you use when your video equipment is hosed.



I just want to know: If you connect the hose end to your toilet's drain fitting with adaptors, does that mean that you've got IP over HDMI?

This is the :psyduck:iest image I've seen in a while. I need to know why this came to be. It would be so simple to say it's Photoshopped, but it doesn't look that way. Is it some really elaborate, satirical art installation? MY BRAIN.

It reminds me of one of the joke boxes that The Onion sold back in the day (which I can't find now). It was a USB Toaster.

I'm assuming it's a gag made up for the CES a few years back. HDMI at one point was said to be like a garden hose while DVI-D was like a fire hose, so it may be related to that. I can find other images of a similar item dating back a couple years, so it's not something new.

:psyboom: doesn't begin to cover it. Wanting to know more, I google translated all the text on the packaging, and it all acts like it's the sort of product where if you need it, you know what it's for. All I know is you won't be needing extra audio cables to keep the highest quality sound without feedback per liter...

The only thing I can think of is that it's some monster-cable related bullshit that grounds your electronics using the waterlines through the HDMI port to eliminate background static distortions :downswords:

There is some very sensual touching going on in the cutscene there. i don't actually think it means anything sexual but it's cool how it contrasts with modern ideas of what bad ass stuff should be like. It even seems authentic to some kind of chivalric masculine touching from a tyme longe gone

I don't know how well-known Gardena is outside of Germany but their products are kind of infamous for their universal connection system and high number of very specialized attachments. It's less of a tech joke than a hobby gardener one.
