My dad bought me one of those popcorn makers. The drat thing was so badly designed it shot red hot popped and unpopped kernels across the room at high speed. I wonder if my dad actually wanted to kill me.

Need to wake up and your alarm clock is broken? Just drink 1 glass of water at bedtime for every hour less than 10 you're planning on sleeping and you'll hopefully wake up on time to go pee.

I'm okay with that particular one-function device. I like popcorn a lot and that thing does it perfect every time without dirtying up a pan. Aire-popper is number two kitchen device right behind the oven.

Yeah you drink 4 glasses of water if you want 6 hours of sleep. Fill however many you want with piss before you go to bed if you want to sleep in.

IMy enameled dutch oven makes some of the best popcorn I've ever had, quickly and easily. The air-popper I had as a kid didn't do nearly as good of a job (although it was from the seventies, so maybe the tech has improved?). To each his own, though.

Or wait until you hit middle age and you'll be getting up at least once to piss every night regardless.

I put a mic in a brass chamber pot when recording to get that eerie/old timey feel.

Sorry bro, hipsters ruined it already.

A chamberpot already has two uses by default, #1 or #2. Not to mention the burgeoning field of c pot hacks.

Surgeons don't get paid to cut you open and cut stuff out. That's the easy part. The tricky bit is putting you back together again.

I had a friend who opened himself up with an ax (misadventure), rearranged the bits back in order with a carving knife (on purpose) and never went to the doctor's (likewise). When he eventually got massive infection he did, got told he was "an idiot", opened back up, cleaned out, put back together (correctly), and finally told again he was an idiot.

There's a video on YouTube showing a woman doing self-surgery to remove a bullet. I'm not sure about linking it because it's incredibly painful to watch.

Jesus Christ! :gonk: My dad did something similarly stupid, but nothing to compare with that. He once got a staple in the eyeball from a staple gun, pulled it out himself and "treated" it with Visine drops. Of course it got worse, and after we begged him in tears to go to a doctor, he did and got some proper treatment. Can't believe he didn't damage or lose his vision from that.

It looks like an actual surgical needle actually, we have those where I work.
