Fun fact: PVC doesn’t show up on x-rays. So when this thing turns into shrapnel and embeds itself in your abdomen; doctors get to just hunt around and hope they find all the pieces.
Microplastics are bad, now macroplastics are bad, I feel like you’re just very anti-plastic at this point and hard to please.
My opinions themselves are plastic; constantly changing.
My life is plastic; it’s fantastic.
I think Bruce Lee said that.
“Be like plastic. Firm, but if you warm up you can change shape to fit a mold.”
Also, “Be about a spoon’s worth in everyone’s brain”
Everyone thought he was dishing out sage martial arts wisdom that they didn’t quite understand, but Bruce Lee was constantly trying to discuss the looming threat of microplastics. Truly ahead of his time.
The Thermosetting Plastic in the room
so what you’re saying is that I can sneak this onto a plane
Looks a bit long for sneaking, depends on your anatomy I guess
But PVC does melt unlike schrapnel, so there’s no problem if they set your abdomen on fire.
Very human
At the very least, mammalian.
I’ve only ever seen potato “holders” made out of ABS, not PVC. Not sure that ABS is any more resistant to er- rapid unscheduled disassemblies.
In the firework industry we use ABS in our mortars because they will stretch and rip if a firework explodes in the tube rather than shatter and turn into shrapnel.
ABS would be better in that regard, it has a higher plasticity and less likely to fragment. But the one in the OP is PVC. ABS pipe is black.
Edit: And I’m pretty sure ABS doesn’t show either.
We used to make them out of PVC pipe from the hardware store
Yup, gotta get that sch40 stuff.
I appreciate knowing this. If I’m dying from consuming high velocity plastic shrapnel, I won’t expect xrays to help.
The word consuming is deeply unsettling in this context. More so than high velocity plastic shrapnel, which is surprising
That fact was fun! 🥰
Wolverine must have a cousin with a PVC bone structure out there somewhere…
Nothing a lead paint job can’t fix
Asbestos gauze
What about an MRI? Too slow maybe?
Another name could be “rapid potato transport device”
Potato re-allocator
irish keepaway device
Too soon.
Too soon to give an Irishman a potato? You monster. >:(
Potatoportation
Raw potato masher.
ABS (black) fails by ripping open. PVC (white) fails like a grenade.
If you’re in the market for a “potato holder” don’t get the white one.
The picture is split in half?
OP forgot to turn on vsync
The picture is split in half.
Wrong. It’s split into 1/3 and 2/3.
Rule of thirds or something. Idk I’m not an artist.
Pretty sure it’s 3.50
It’s closer to 80/20
Oh, the Pareto split
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT PROPRIETARY NOVIDYA BULLSHIT DRIVERS AAARGGGH
I wonder if this person is also into punkin chuckin?
That’s trebuchets
That’s “pumpkin relocation assistant.”
In Washington state potatoes cannons were legal as long as you classified them a “line throwing device”. I.e. something to throw a rope from ship to ship if you like lose an engine or something. So when you go to the lake to play bring a rope and a nail to stick the rope in the potato if the cops come and ask questions.
Good ol spud gun. Made one back in the day. My buddy went overboard and had one manufactured out of steel and used ether as a propellant. Was pretty wild compared to the pvc version.
the broom stick is for checking if it’s loaded, call it a cleaning rod
What if I wanted a specific broom?
To be fair it will be about as gental as it’s terminal volocity. Which is hard but like not that bad.
That’s just for starters, Pros use a temporary Christmas tree holder
Corporate social media sucks
