Honestly filling those whole with anything that can stop the remote doing it is great
At some point we need to ask ourselves what we really need & what we don't need.
Especially where there is a price (I mean more plastics & supporting the industry/system & environmental impact – not just the current financial cost).
The environmental impact of 3D printing is minimal compared to the industrial levels of waste making by corporations.
Sure, but that doesn't mean we should just print garbage because others are doing worse.
What each individual defines as garbage is up to them. I'm certain there are very very few people who are literally printing garbage on purpose with their 3D printers.
And again the scale of waste is like 2 trillion to 1 comparing corporations to independent hobbyists 3D printing parts.
Being able to 3D print also allows one to repair things that otherwise would just have to be tossed in a landfill because some critical plastic piece broke.
And it allows users to create their own one-off objects that they need rather than a corporation creating an immense surplus of parts the majority of which will never reach consumer hands and will end up in a landfill.
Taking offense at people who 3D print for being bad for the environment is just concern trolling at this point.
And it allows users to create their own one-off objects that they need rather than a corporation creating an immense surplus of parts the majority of which will never reach consumer hands and will end up in a landfill.
This is key. You can 3D print things to fit your exact needs. Mass produced injection molded plastic is only cheap because of the mass production. Molds are expensive. That means they necessarily have to produce a lot more than people need and market them to people who don't actually need the item in order to make up for the upfront cost.
I'm all for 3d printing things for myself, especially when they serve a purpose and not just a little display piece.
Even if you are creating a display piece and not something functional, it's something you are making for yourself, and a limited number of them. You aren't mass producing Funko Pops of which millions will end up in a land fill.
What is the toilet for?
It’s upside down, looks like he/she designed one to go in the side between the cushion and the chair arm. Actually a pretty smart idea.
Looks like a phone stand
I believe that it's a cup holder flipped up
So... No free-roaming pets in your house, I take it? 😅
This reminds me of that guy on reddit who would make useless inventions. I wonder how he's doing.
Decapitated. Whole big thing. We had a funeral for a bird.
Ok Creed
Dude that was fucking horrible. Remind me not to test inventions when they involve my neck and a motor.
I cant find anything after a quick search, is this some sort of joke?
Yeah
... I'm pretty sure none of that's real
You're not real, man!
Whenever I get a sofa, I just make sure the arm rests are squared and put a coaster on that. It's like having a little shelf for everything. People that gets rounded arm rests are fools.
Edit: Ta-daaaa!
GOD. DAMN. FOOLS.
Every time I walk into someone's home and I see a rounded couch corner I do a little chuckle. Sometimes they'll ask what I'm laughing at. "I'm sorry, it's just, I didn't know you were such an idiot"
One time I walked into a friend's house and I saw a rounded couch corner and I punched his dad in the cock
Just a short while ago I was invited to dinner at a friend's. Wouldn't you know it -- rounded couch. Immediately called CPS and got their kids sent somewhere they can have a chance at a decent upbringing.
The Germans invented rounded corner couches in 1939
JD Vance prefers rounded couches.
Clever! Good idea.
They've got a lot of space around the can. If the spacing is correct, could slide one of those double-wall vaccuum soda-can holders in there, keep the drink cold. If it's not, could tweak the diameter.
Yes they can easily be scaled to fit them. I have 73mm and 85mm holders. The smaller one is pretty universal for most store bought bottles and the bigger one is more for cups and glasses.
