Tom Scott looks good in a 90’s shirt and tie.
I can't understand why it never caught on...

This is exactly the sort of thing he’d do if given access to a time machine.

That’s weak. Just put it on you boner, and you’re good to go.
KingOfTheCouch@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Super handy when you’re working in data centers.

Nathan Fielder had one in The Rehearsal.
bassomitron@lemmy.world 11 months ago
When the hell is season 2 of that going to arrive? I know a few months ago they confirmed it was in production, so hopefully soon! Such a great show, Nathan Fielder is the king of dead pan comedy.

Did you know that STRAP ON spelled backwards is NO PARTS?
Yeah that joke comes from a slightly different angle, but I think it still loosely fits here as well LOL!

Standing desk meet walking desk
crawancon@lemm.ee 11 months ago
he’s looking on as he continues typing, listless to whomever will read his bullshit LinkedIn post.
makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
You jest. But, as a standing desk worker, something like this looks amazing.
Flughoernchen@feddit.de 11 months ago
Absolutely! The angle seems a bit off though. Looks like neck pain.
makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
Yes. Looking down at that angle is also a hard no.

I wish I remembered the actual product name but I recall there being, and people making fun of, this gnarly LAN party backpack that allowed you to carry your PC, a power supply and a fucking CRT monitor around on a rigid frame backpack to bring your entire setup with you everywhere.
One of the image macros floating around back then was of that thing with a rig attached so you could have your mouse and keyboard in front of you and the monitor held ahead of you from over the top allowing you to walk around playing Doom. 🤣

It’s reverse AC for your groin! Get swamp crotch without the hassle of effort.
BlueLineBae@midwest.social 11 months ago
“in seconds.” Ah yes, clearly the best point made for this product.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You really can’t argue with “in seconds.” It’s what made me go to eBay.
Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Step 1. Cut a hole in a box. 2. Put your junk in the box. 3. Make her open the box.
And that’s the way you do it!
bruhduh@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Nah man, if you ever had your meat beaten by your girl you should know that they are rough as fuck with your junk, it would hurt and if they have nails then god forbid you try it

Maybe useful for field work, but I can’t justify the office equivalent of a grillwalker for anything else.
UmeU@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I had a job that bought me one of these about 15 years ago, never used it
Cosmos7349@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This reminds me of people who work on their laptop in the metro train. Like holy shit at this point you’re almost advertising.
DaPorkchop_@lemmy.ml 11 months ago
In what way is that advertising? And what is the product?
A_Chilean_Cyborg@feddit.cl 11 months ago
I guess they mean as a to robbers and to be robbed.
Zink@programming.dev 11 months ago
I can think of exactly one person I’ve ever met that would use this. It was a dude in college who would walk across campus back to his dorm holding an open laptop in one arm and occasionally using the other hand to interact with it.
This was when you needed a PCMCIA card to have WiFi on your laptop, so it was probably new and exciting to have that mobility.
arandomthought@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I remember that in some episode of Digimon some kid had one of those and back then I thought this was the most amazing shit.

The Typing of the Dead game poster.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That game was amazing. Although I didn’t realize that there was a Dreamcast version or that the Dreamcast had a keyboard.
bassomitron@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I definitely had a keyboard for my Dreamcast. It was my first internet enabled console, as well as my first exposure to online gaming with strangers (previously I had only done direct TCP/IP connections with friends on games like Diablo 1 and Starcraft). Phantasy Star Online was so damn addictive.
Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
To be honest I didn’t even realise this was the Dreamcast cover. It was an awesome game though
Pencilnoob@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I learned how to type with this, at the age of 22 as a full time software engineer! I never knew how to touch type, but then I somehow landed a software engineering job. I figured I needed to learn, so I downloaded this and played it so much. Good times.
TimeNaan@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You are describing my touchtyping/zombieslaying adventure. This game literally taught me how to type, it’s amazing!
partial_accumen@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I surprisingly good game! I also learned that my touch typing was decent, but not when zombie mobs are attacking me.
