Have you ever wondered how important the OXYGEN is?

So, we've all been there. You're getting ready to go on a hike, bike ride, or some other sort of eco-friendly physical activity, but gosh darn it, all these drat oxygen tanks keep getting in the way! You can't not take supplemental oxygen, but you also need room for your water bottles, sports bars, and vintage Kodak camera! Well, never fear, my intrepid millenial friends, :siren:AQUOGEN:siren: is here to help!

:siren:AQUOGEN:siren: is a two-part water-bottle-and-supplemental-oxygen device that will not only allow you to hydrate, but will blast UP TO 25 BREATHS (PER REFILL CANISTER) OF ENRICHED OXYGEN at your face, so you can pretend it's helping you breathe better while it immediately dissipates into the dirty air between your nose and the bottle.

"THE PROBLEM

The modern trend of expensive cigar smoking is increasing exponentially. In 1996 more than $1.5 billion worth of cigars were sold. If the cigars are not stored properly then they lose their unique properties.

Cigars must be kept in a humid atmosphere and at a cool temperature of around 65 F. Currently many use "humidors" which humidifies the cigar. A sponge like substance is soaked in water and kept inside the humidor. The water slowly evaporates which keeps the cigar moist.

However, to keep the cigars cool, people face the toughest hurdle. Either they lower the air conditioner of the entire room where the humidor is kept or they build a special room for the purpose of storing cigars. The 65 F room temperature is really cold for human beings. The special storage place construction needs extra space & resources.

If the cigars are not stored at around 65 degrees Fahrenheit then the larvae hidden in the wrappers will hatch as the temperature increases and goes beyond 70 degrees. Then they eat the tobacco by boring a number of holes thus destroying the expensive cigars"

From one of their patents. That's not what exponential means.

Some of this guy's inventions seem neat apart from the fact that they definitely don't work at all. My personal favorite is the E-Lamp, a bulb that is less effective than a CFL, but more effective than an incandescent, yet cheaper than a CFL, yet both more expensive and less efficient than an LED, thus rendering it useless. Also he has like four things that all claim to be equally able to magically heat and cool objects, which is insane.

There are some good stories from normal dudes who decided to give truck driving a try. And how they all to a man became fat from not being able to eat well, especially since companies do not allow you to have a portable toaster oven or heating element.

You got your basic double dog. Then your triple dog. But I think the big attraction is gonna be the quad dog. But can you hold four dogs at once? You can’t, it’s impossible.

So I have invented and patented the quad dog holder. It has four rings that you push through our specially formed quad buns, and then you insert the dogs into the rings which holds the whole thing together. Then you just add a handle with finger grips and you’re good to go. You can hold and consume four hot dogs at once using only one hand.

the E-Lamp is a regular halogen incandescent bulb with an extremely lovely built in dimmer
sorry

e: its hard to understate the shittiness of the dimmer circuit, it looks like it relies on a transistor going into avalanche to trigger the triac (main switch component that chops up the line voltage to accomplish dimming) so if it gets above 150c or so its just going to turn off and never turn back on again. made with about 5 times the number of components usually used to accomplish the exact same task and sacrificing reliability probably by 100fold at least

Somewhere between "throwing your rotten fruit away" and "getting blasted on rubbing alcohol," there exists a magical fantasy land in which you can utilize those expensive-rear end pomegranates your kids won't eat to get ripped in the middle of the day! ALCHEMA is your own personal small-batch cider maker! Simply add fruit, sugar, and water of your own choosing, pop in one of the handy yeast packets, and then let that poo poo hang out on your counter for a week (or 16) and entertain your friends with your own terrible Cidre!
