The Secret of Unicorns (Canceled)

quote:

What could Nikola Tesla, Aphantasia, Mental Sensory Perception, the Law of Attraction and Unicorns possibly have in common? And what is Mental Sensory Perception? It sounds like a professional term but it was actually made up by a guy with Aphantasia; he doesn't even have the ability of MSP. This guy also wrote a book about Nikola Telsa and only after he finished it, did he learn he had a remarkable disability he never knew existed, and it was what he wrote about Tesla before being diagnosed that actually helped him overcome what turned out to be an ability and not a disability at all. It was precisely this synchronicity that allowed the Secret of Unicorns to be written and everyone should really understand what this secret is, it will likely change your life in remarkable ways.

quote:

Risks and challenges

There is zero risk in this project. In fact, the book will change your life or someone you love dearly, that I will promise you. The money raised will fund a full length documentary and promo videos to promote The Secret of Unicorns as far and wide as my efforts will take me.

There are comments on the posts like "I wish they had The Matrix" or whatever, and within ten minutes the company spunks one out and they're ready to charge $80 for it.

This is something I've seen film websites doing years ago as a way of examining the use of color in film (they called them "movie barcodes" back then), it's literally just something generated by running a video file through a program. It feels like it belongs in the 90s when people were way less computer savvy and were more easily roped in to low-effort computer-generated commercial art like magic eye pictures and those collages of hundreds tiny pictures that make up one big picture.

There's going to be a lot of gullible people in May who get that thing and are pissed to discover that the charging station doesn't actually come with a battery bank (lol) and the self-balancing cupholder won't work with anything bigger than toddler's sippy cup.

And I dunno, I just have end tables next to either side of the couch and they've got usb hubs sitting on them for charging purposes. And cup holding. Seems to work pretty well?

Maybe, but all the promo pics show it with cups that look tiny, like espresso cup size (compare the size to the tangerine slices and M&Ms) and barely project beyond the surface of the console. Note that the one photo of a prototype with a non-self-balancing cupholder actually has a normal-sized glass tumbler in it. I'd say the pictures speak the truth a lot more than the vague assurance that it will hold something "taller".

edit: actually some of the photos at the bottom literally show it with an espresso cup filling the holder lol

I have a backpack with a space for a power bank which makes sense because you might end up somewhere where you need power but don't have access to a plug. It doesn't make sense to have a charging station that runs off a power bank in something that just sits on your couch.

I've been approaching the pro tier of lazy-as-gently caress this past year and I don't even use the storage and cupholders built into my couch because they're more awkward than just setting stuff on the stool beside it. Also I had to go out of my way last year to buy a couch that doesn't plug into the wall to charge stuff, and I'm happy with that decision. Anyways, this advice to simplify your life is a true bargain compared to the Couch Console at only $69.99, thank you for your support

If your couch tray is always running out of battery power to charge your phone you should get our couch with an integrated couch tray wireless charger.

Are we sure this isn't one of those comedic joke kickstarters? Selling spill proof baby bowls for couch gamers reads like a fake ad from a penny arcade knockoff.

To be honest, I'm always shocked at how many people seem to always be running around with a phone that's near dead. I guess it's just a way for them to keep their phone not dead while not having to hunt down a phone charger (which these people almost always never have on hand as well)

All I've ever wanted is a full tarot deck, but the art is pictures from a 1960s nudie deck, and somehow I've never come across one.
