I looked it up and their gimmick is that their extendable piss spout can be attached to pretty much most beverage bottles you might have lying around in your car. Apparently it also comes with a top cap you can screw into place so if someone fills up a pop bottle with piss, screws the lid on and then re-compacts the spout they might end up with a piss powered water rocket ricocheting around inside their car

I think I would hate the owner of each of their example loads. Do humans exist that would carry these specific sets of items? Honestly though, the bag seems pretty nice overall? Assuming it is made decently.

It's the ability to change the shape of xChain that allows for untethered force-multiplying acceleration through every plane of direction. Accelerate, decelerate and re-accelerate.' It literally only weighs 10 pounds.

To be fully fair the momentum required to lift a weight is the distance from the axis of rotation multiplied by the weight of the object itself, so extending outwards would make it "heavier" in that regard Still a dumb loving chain that only weights ten pounds though

Furia posted:To be fully fair the momentum required to lift a weight is the distance from the axis of rotation multiplied by the weight of the object itself, so extending outwards would make it "heavier" in that regard You can do every one of those exercises with a simple dumbbell or kettlebell, a weight disk or just about anything that has weight. And for exercises like squatting or lunges you'd want something more than 10 pounds or you might just as well do them unweighted. I understand that the selling point here is that it can change shape, but it would be more useful if it could change WEIGHT without having a big set of dumbbells or one handle with several disks. Still, it's not that much more stupid than most other "as seen on TV" home workout equipment that's supposed to hit EVERY muscle group with one amazing simple device. At least the XChain takes up way less space than the Total Gym or the Ab Circle Pro when it inevitably ends up spending the next century collecting dust under the bed.

You can also make one yourself from some sand and an inner tube, or buy one for ~$50.

Well uh, as much as I like being optimistic, that sounds really drat bad. I appreciate the relative candor in the statement, at least, but if they've truly spent all the money on feature creep and now there is no game in sight, that's a really crappy sign.

Why the gently caress are there so many enamel pin Kickstarters? Did somebody just find a Chinese factory that makes enamel pins in small batches for super cheap?

Guy Goodbody posted:Why the gently caress are there so many enamel pin Kickstarters? Did somebody just find a Chinese factory that makes enamel pins in small batches for super cheap? Low production cost, low shipping cost, simple easy-to-make designs, and just a general popularity among consumers of random individual artist products. If you wanna survive as an illustrator you pretty much need either a patreon or to sell consumer goods, and pins/charms are easier to store and ship than prints or shirts.

A lot of those pin KS are successful, too. Plus a lot of other KS art projects will create a pin as an incentive, making it more exclusive/limited and thus desirable. An awful one recently was of the “Ugandan Knuckles” avatar from VR Chat, but it got suspended a couple weeks in. Unsure if it was because it came off scammy (they were only asking for $400 - edit: that’s low end of average for these projects) or because of the racist connotations. vvv I’m unsure of the copyright issue because there are successful KS for other properties all the time - Sailor Moon, Overwatch, etc. SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL has a new favorite as of 13:44 on Feb 23, 2018 |

Which like, what if you're the weirdo who for whatever reason wants one of whatever that is, but isn't so weird that you want the one that looks like it's down to gently caress. You're just a regular weirdo or maybe kid or some poo poo who wants that dumb monster as a pillow and then oh no it hits 5000 and now you get lumped in with the sexperverts instead of the normal social outcasts.

Kickstarters for enamel pins make sense. From what I know about them, once you have a design, you can commission basically however many you want. There's a fixed cost for making the molds, so if you can do a Kickstarter to fund the initial cost, you can keep some for yourself, or some to sell in person at conventions or something.

What I don't get about the enamel pins is how it fits with the Internet of Things and what their companion app would do. I assume there's some sort of DRM single-use pods too. Maybe they can blink to signal your mood or something?

You joke but a lot of people buy them ~ironically~ so they can walk around with them at anime conventions or pose with them for their selfies for Imgur upvotes or whatever. It's enough of a thing that multiple game studios have done them as crowdfunding rewards.
